1. Create a WebLogic domain, seconddomain running on port 7002.

2. Create a managed server, 7022server, running on port 7022.

3. Go to the WebLogic_base/user_projects/domains/seconddomain directory and start the managed server.

   ./startWeblogic.sh

   ./startManagedWeblogic.sh 7022server

4. Copy the PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/template/Webcontainer.properties.BEAWL8 file to a PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/secondportal.properties file.

5. Edit the following properties in the secondportal.properties file.

   • Host=hostname.domain
