Sun Java System Access Manager 7 2005Q4 Administration Guide

Configuring Access Manager in SSL Mode

This section describes the steps to configure Access Manager in SSL mode. Before you set up SSL for Access Manager, make sure that you configured the web container for your deployment.

ProcedureTo Configure Access Manager in SSL Mode

  1. In the Access Manager console, go to the Service Configuration module and select the Platform service. In the Server List attribute, add the same URL with the HTTPS protocol and an SSL-enabled port number. Click Save.


    Note –

    If a single instance of Access Manager is listening on two ports (one in HTTP and one in HTTPS) and you try to access Access Manager with a stalled cookie, Access Manager will become unresponsive. This is not a supported configuration.


  2. Open the AMConfig.properties file from the following default location:


    /etc/opt/SUNWam/config.
  3. Replace all of the protocol occurrences of http:// to https:// and change the port number to an SSL-enabled port number.

  4. Save the AMConfig.properties file.

  5. Restart the Application Server.
