The Evaluation Use Cases

This document describes a product evaluation that demonstrates a number of Java ES features. The evaluation features are identified in the following set of use cases:

• Installation and configuration use case: install the Java Enterprise System components on one system.

• Installation and configuration use case: use Java Enterprise System configuration tools to configure component instances.

• Installation and configuration use case: verify the mail, calendar, portal, and instant messaging services, using the administrator accounts.

• Administrator use case: configure the evaluation solution’s directory tree and establish a single end user account.

• Administrator use case: configure Access Manager single sign-on (SSO) for the mail and calendar services.

• End user use case: use the Communications Express interface and the single sign-on feature to access mail and calender services through a single interface.

• Administrator use case: configure Portal Server proxy authentication.

• End user use case: log in to the portal desktop and use the single sign-on feature to access mail and calendar services.

This document shows you how to design, install, configure and use a Java Enterprise System solution that implements these use cases and demonstrates these features.

Although the evaluation solution use cases are relatively simple, this document uses the standard deployment planning methodology to describe how the evaluation solution is designed and the installation procedures are developed. Chapter 2, The Architecture Chapter 3, The Deployment Specifications, and Chapter 4, The Installation and Configuration Plan, describe how the components for the evaluation solution are selected, how the architecture for the solution is developed, and how the values you use to install and configure the solution are developed. The description follows the deployment planning methodology outlined in Java Enterprise System Deployment Planning Guide.
