Starting and Stopping Portal Server Secure Remote Access

The Secure Remote Access product component of Portal Server offers browser-based secure remote access to portal content and services from any remote device with a Java technology-enabled browser. The Gateway subcomponent presents the content securely from internal web servers and application servers through a single interface to a remote user. Portal Server Secure Remote Access depends on Portal Server and Access Manager or the Access Manager SDK.

After postinstallation configuration is complete, use the following instructions for starting and stopping the Gateway.

To Start Portal Server Secure Remote Access Gateway

1. After installing the Gateway subcomponent and creating the required profile, start the Gateway. For example:

   gateway-install-root/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin start-sra-instance --adminuser \ amadmin --passwordfile /tmp/password --name default --type gateway

   default is the default gateway profile created during installation. You can create your own profiles later, and restart the Gateway with the new profile.

2. Verify that the Gateway is running on the specified port:

   netstat -an | grep port-number

   The default Gateway port is 443.

To Stop Portal Server Secure Remote Access Gateway

1. Stop the Gateway. For example:

   gateway-install-root/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin stop-sra-instance --adminuser / amadmin --passwordfile /tmp/password --name default --type gateway

   This command stops all the Gateway instances that are running on that particular host.

2. Run the following command to check that the Gateway processes are no longer running:

   /usr/bin/ps -ef | grep entsys5i
