Secure Remote Access Core Configuration

This section lists the types of information that the installer needs when installing Portal Server Secure Remote Access Core. The information that you must supply differs according to which of the following scenarios applies:

Single-session installation. You are installing Portal Server and Portal Server Secure Remote Access together.
Multiple Session installation. You install Portal Server in one session, and then install Portal Server Secure Remote Access in a later session.

Table 1–37 Information Needed for Installation of Portal Server Secure Remote Access Core


Portal Server Situation	Requirements	Location of Information
Portal Server is being installed in this session.	Gateway information	Single-Session Installation
Portal Server Is already installed and using Web Server or IBM WebSphere Application Server.	Web Container Deployment information Gateway information Access Manager information	Multiple Session Installation with Sun Java System Web Server or IBM WebSphere Application Server
Portal Server Is already installed and using Application Server.	Web Container Deployment information Access Manager information Gateway information Sun Java System Application Server information	Multiple Session Installation with Sun Java System Application Server or BEA WebLogic
Portal Server Is already installed and using BEA WebLogic.	Web Container Deployment information Gateway information Access Manager information BEA WebLogic information	Multiple Session Installation with Sun Java System Application Server or BEA WebLogic

Single-Session Installation

When you install Portal Server Secure Remote Access Core and Portal Server in a single session, you provide information about Portal Server Secure Remote Access Gateway. The installer obtains other Portal Server Secure Remote Access configuration information from the Portal Server configuration.

This section describes the gateway information that the installer needs when you are installing Portal Server Secure Remote Access Core.

Table 1–38 Portal Server Secure Remote Access Gateway Information


Label and State File Parameter	Description
Gateway Protocol `SRA_GATEWAY_PROTOCOL`	Protocol that the gateway uses to communicate with Portal Server. A secure port uses the HTTPS protocol. A non-secure port uses HTTP. In a state file, specify `https` for a secure port or `http` for a non-secure port. The default value is `https`.
Portal Server Domain `SRA_SERVER_DOMAIN`	Domain name of the Portal Server. For example, if the fully qualified domain name is `siroe.subdomain1.example.com` , enter `subdomain1.example.com`.
Gateway Domain `SRA_GATEWAY_DOMAIN`	Domain name for the gateway component. For example, if the fully qualified domain name of the Portal Server host is `siroe.subdomain1.example.com`, enter `subdomain1.example.com` .
Gateway Port `SRA_GATEWAY_PORT`	Port on which the gateway host listens. The default value is `443`.
Gateway Profile Name `SRA_GATEWAY_PROFILE`	Profile that contains gateway configuration information, such as listener port, SSL options, and proxy options. The default value is `default`.
Log User Password `SRA_LOG_USER_PASSWORD`	Password that allows administrators with non-root access to access gateway log files.

Multiple Session Installation with Sun Java System Web Server or IBM WebSphere Application Server

This section lists the information you must provide when you install Portal Server Secure Remote Access on a host where the following is true:

Portal Server is already installed
Portal Server is deployed into a Sun Java System Web Server or IBM WebSphere Application Server web container

In this scenario, you must provide the following types of information:

Web Container Deployment information
Gateway information
Access Manager information

The following table lists the information that you specify about the web container.

Table 1–39 Web Container Deployment Information for Portal Server Secure Remote Access Core


Label and State File Parameter	Description
Deployment URI `SRA_DEPLOY_URI`	Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that you use to deploy Portal Server. The value for the deployment URI must have a leading slash and must contain only one slash. The default value is `/portal`.

The following table lists the information that you specify about Access Manager.

Table 1–40 Access Manager Information for Portal Server Secure Remote Access Core


Label and State File Parameter	Description
Directory Manager DN `USER_DIR_ADM_USER`	DN of the user who has unrestricted access to Directory Server. The default value is `cn=Directory Manager`. In a state file, this parameter has no default value, and needs a value only if `USE_EXISTING_USER_DIR` is set to `1`.
Directory Manager Password `USER_DIR_ADM_PASSWD`	Password for the directory manager. In a state file, this parameter has no default value, and needs a value only if `USE_EXISTING_USER_DIR` is set to `1`.

Multiple Session Installation with Sun Java System Application Server or BEA WebLogic

This section lists the information you must provide when you install Portal Server Secure Remote Access on a host where the following is true:

Portal Server is already installed
Portal Server is deployed into a Sun Java System Application Server web container or a BEA WebLogic web container

In this scenario, you must provide the following types of information:
Web Container Deployment information
Access Manager information
Sun Java System Application Server Information or BEA WebLogic Information

The following table lists the information that you specify about the web container.

Table 1–41 Web Container Deployment Information for Portal Server Secure Remote Access Core


Label and State File Parameter	Description
Deployment URI `SRA_DEPLOY_URI`	Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that you use to deploy Portal Server. The value for the deployment URI must have a leading slash and must contain only one slash. The default value is `/portal`.

The following table lists the information that you specify about Access Manager.

Table 1–42 Access Manager Information for Portal Server Secure Remote Access Core


Label and State File Parameter	Description
Directory Manager DN `USER_DIR_ADM_USER`	DN of the user who has unrestricted access to Directory Server. The default value is `cn=Directory Manager`. In a state file, this parameter has no default value, and needs a value only if `USE_EXISTING_USER_DIR` is set to `1`.
Directory Manager Password `USER_DIR_ADM_PASSWD`	Password for the directory manager. In a state file, this parameter has no default value, and needs a value only if `USE_EXISTING_USER_DIR` is set to `1`.
