Configuring a Portal Server and a Gateway on a Single Node

This section describes how to configure a Portal Server and a Gateway on a single node in the Configure Now and Configure Later modes.

Using the Configure Now mode, you can configure a Gateway while installing Portal Server, where the Gateway is configured with other components. You can also configure the Gateway using the Configure Later mode, where you need to manually configure Gateway using the psconfig command after installing Portal Server.

To Configure Portal Server on a Single Node using the Configure Now Mode

1. Select the Gateway option displayed with Sun Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access 7.1 when you install Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1.

2. Enter Directory Server, Access Manager, and web container information in the Java ES installer screens.

3. Start Directory Server and web container instance after a successful installation of Portal Server.

4. Start the gateway.

   PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin switch-sra-status -u admin-user-name -f password-file on

   PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin provision-sra -u admin-user-name -f password-file --gateway-profile gateway_profile --enable

   PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin start-sra-instance -u admin-user-name -f password-file -N default -t gateway

To Configure Portal Server on a Single Node using the Configure Later Mode

1. Select Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1, Directory Server, and web container in the Java ES installer.

2. Select the Gateway option displayed with Sun Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access 7.1.

3. Install the components using the Java ES installer in the Configure Later mode.

4. Ensure that Directory Server, web container instance, and web container administrator server are running.

5. Modify the example7.xml file.

   The example7.xml file is located in the PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/samples/psconfig directory.

6. Configure common agent container.

   PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psconfig --config example7.xml

7. Start the Gateway.

   PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin switch-sra-status -u admin-user-name -f password-file on

   PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin provision-sra -u admin-user-name -f password-file --gateway-profile gateway_profile --enable

   PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin start-sra-instance -u admin-user-name -f password-file -N default -t gateway
