Goals of the Evaluation

This document describes how to install a basic set of Java ES components and configure them to provide networked messaging, calendar, and portal services without any custom application programming. This document also describes how to set up LDAP user accounts so you can access these services through their web-based interfaces.

The set of components you install for evaluation also supports single sign-on and proxy authentication, so that you can evaluate these Java ES features. This document describes how to configure single sign-on and proxy authentication.

By following the procedures in this document, you learn how Java ES components provide core, shared, networked services for an organization’s employees and customers. You learn how to access these core services through built-in, web-based interfaces. You also learn enough about the capabilities of Java ES to imagine how a Java ES solution could deliver services to your organization’s employees and customers.
