The Sun Java System Portal Server installer performs several tasks involving the communication channels. General communication channel configuration tasks are also handled by the installer. More detailed configuration is then required by administrators and end users depending up the needs of the site and of the individuals.
The Sun Java System Portal Server Installer:
Installs the following packages, SUNWpsso, SUNWpsap, SUNWpsmp , SUNWpscp, and SUNWiimps which are deployed to the default Sun Java System Portal Server instance. Therefore, the installer does not install the communication channels on all of the Sun Java System Portal Server instances. For information on multi-server deployments, see Multiple Instance Deployments.
Creates the channels, Address Book, Calendar, Instant Messaging, and Mail. The installer places channels for Sun Java System servers into the My Front Page Tab panel container for the sample organization. Therefore, the communication channels are installed only when the sample portal is installed. Microsoft Exchange Server and IBM Lotus Notes server are not automatically placed in a container. An administrator would need to add these channels to a container, if desired.
The default configurations for the Calendar and Mail channels work after only basic configuration by end users; therefore, they do not require further configuration by administrators. The Address Book and Instant Messaging channels require further configuration by both administrators and end users.
Creates and configures the single sign-on (SSO) Adapter service which enables single sign-on with the Sun Java System Calendar Server and Sun Java System Messaging Server.
If your Sun Java System Portal Server deployment involves multiple instances, you must manually deploy the communication channels to each additional instance of Sun Java System Portal Server and restart each instance. To deploy, type:
portal-server-base/SUNWportal/bin/deploy redeploy --instance instance-name --deploy_admin_password deploy-admin-password
where:
instance-name is the name for that particular non-default instance
deploy-admin-password is the administrator password for the web container. The web container administrator password is required only when the web container is Sun Java System Application Server or BEA WebLogic Server. If you include the password when using Sun Java System Web Server or IBM WebSphere Application Server, the password is ignored.
Multiple Instance Deployments lists the commands for manually deploying communication channels to two non-default Sun Java System Portal Server instances and for restarting those instances, where myinstance1 and myinstance2 are non-default Sun Java System Portal Server instance names and Admin is the web container's administrator password.
