To Create a New Portal on WebLogic 8.1 Service Pack 5 in the Configure Now Mode

Before You Begin

Ensure the following:

• Portal Server, Access Manager, and Common Agent Container are up and running on the first node. Execute the following command on Node 1: PortalServer-base/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin list-portals -u user-name -f admin-password

1. Install WebLogic 8.1 Service Pack 5 and create a managed server in a domain.

2. Start the administrator server and managed server.

3. Run the installer and select Access Manager SDK and install in the Configure Later mode.

4. Edit the values in the amsamplesilent file.

   For Solaris, the amsamplesilent file is present in the /AccessManager_base/SUNWam/bin directory. For Linux, it is in the /AccessManager_base/sun/identity directory.

5. Change the following values in the amsamplesilent file.

   • DEPLOY_LEVEL=4

   • SERVER_NAME=AccessManager host name without FQDN

   • SERVER_HOST=$SERVER_NAME.domain-name

   • SERVER_PORT=AccessManager Server Port

   • ADMIN_PORT=Admin port for the web container on which Access Manager resides

   • NEW_GROUP=other

     This value is root for the Solaris 10 release and Linux, and other for the Solaris 9 release.

   • PAM_SERVICE_NAME=other

   • WEB_CONTAINER=WL8

   • BASEDIR=Directory where Access Manager SDK is installed.

     For example, /AccessManager_base/SUNWam

   • CONSOLE_HOST=FQDN of host where Portal needs to be installed

   • CONSOLE_PORT=Port where second Portal needs to be installed, which is the port of the managed server

   • CONSOLE_PROTOCOL=$SERVER_PROTOCOL

   • AM_REALM=disabled

   • WL8_HOME=/usr/local/bea

   • WL8_PROJECT_DIR=user_projects

   • WL8_DOMAIN=mydomain

   • WL8_CONFIG_LOCATION=$WL8_HOME/$WL8_PROJECT_DIR/domains

   • WL8_SERVER= myserver

     Name of the managed server on which second Portal needs to be installed.

   • WL8_INSTANCE=$WL8_HOME/weblogic81

   • WL8_PROTOCOL=$SERVER_PROTOCOL

   • WL8_HOST=FQDN of the node on which second Portal needs to be installed

   • WL8_PORT=Port where the second Portal needs to be installed, which is the port of the managed server

   • WL8_SSLPORT=Weblogic ADMIN_PORT

   • WL8_ADMIN=weblogic

   • WL8_PASSWORD=weblogic admin password

6. Run the following command:

   AccessManager_base/SUNWam/bin/amconfig -s AccessManager_base/SUNWam/bin/amsamplesilent

   For Linux, the amsamplesilent utility is available in the /AccessManager_base/sun/identity directory.

7. Run the installer again and install portal in the Configure Now mode.

8. Change the name of the portal.

   For example, if the first portal is portal1, change name of the second portal to portal2.
