Configuring ps1 for SRA Operation

This task involves enabling the Portal Server instance for SRA operations.

It also involves setting up the optional Netlet Proxy and Rewriter Proxy instances, which enable you to make full use of the functionality of the Gateway service. These components were installed on the computers running Portal Server when you implemented the Portal service module (see To Install Portal Server on ps1). You now need only to create instances of these components and configure Portal Server to interoperate with them.

The task consists of the following procedures:

• Set Up a Netlet Proxy Instance on ps1

• Set Up a Rewriter Proxy Instance on ps1

• Configure Portal Server to Interoperate With the Netlet Proxy and Rewriter Proxy Instances on ps1

To Set Up a Netlet Proxy Instance on ps1

In this procedure you create and start a Netlet Proxy Instance on ps1.

1. Create a working copy of the Netlet Proxy configuration file.

   # cp /opt/SUNWportal/samples/psconfig/example11.xml /tmp/nlp-ps1.xml

2. Edit your working copy of the configuration file in a text editor.

   Locate the configuration parameters that are listed in the following table, and change their values to the values shown in the table.

   Parameter	Value
   @HOST.DOMAIN@	ps1.pstest.com
   @LBHOST.DOMAIN@	ps.pstest.com
   @PSHOST.DOMAIN@	pstest.com
   @PORT@	80
   @AMADMIN.PASSWORD@	access-manager-admin-password
   @AMLDAPUSER.PASSWORD@	access-manager-LDAP-password
   @DIRMGR.PASSWORD@	directory-manager-password
   @NETLET.PROXY.PORT@	10555
   @IPADDRESS@	10.0.2.3
   @SRA.LOGUSER.PASSWORD@	loguser-password
   Organization	your-organization
   Division	your-division
   StateProvince	your-state
   CountryCode	your-country
   CertificateDatabasePassword	cert-DB-password
   @SRA.CERTDB.PASSWORD@	cert-DB-password

3. Create a Netlet Proxy instance.

   # /opt/SUNWportal/bin/psconfig --config ./tmp/nlp-ps1.xml

4. Start the Netlet Proxy Instance.

   # /opt/SUNWpoartal/bin/psadmin start-sra-instance -u amadmin -N default -t nlproxy

   When prompted, type the access-manager-admin-password.

To Set Up a Rewriter Proxy Instance on ps1

1. Create a working copy of the Rewriter Proxy configuration file.

   # cp /opt/SUNWportal/samples/psconfig/example12.xml /tmp/rwp-ps1.xml

2. Edit your working copy of the configuration file in a text editor.

   Locate the configuration parameters that are listed in the following table, and change their values to the values shown in the table.

   Parameter	Value
   @HOST.DOMAIN@	ps1.pstest.com
   @LBHOST.DOMAIN@	ps.pstest.com
   @PSHOST.DOMAIN@	pstest.com
   @PORT@	80
   @AMADMIN.PASSWORD@	access-manager-admin-password
   @AMLDAPUSER.PASSWORD@	access-manager-LDAP-password
   @DIRMGR.PASSWORD@	directory-manager-password
   @REWRITER.PROXY.PORT@	10443
   @IPADDRESS@	10.0.2.3
   @SRA.LOGUSER.PASSWORD@	loguser-password
   Organization	your-organization
   Division	your-division
   StateProvince	your-state
   CountryCode	your-country
   @SRA.CERTDB.PASSWORD@	cert-DB-password

3. Create a Rewriter Proxy instance.

   # /opt/SUNWportal/bin/psconfig --config ./tmp/rwp-ps1.xml

4. Start the Rewriter Proxy instance.

   # /opt/SUNWpoartal/bin/psadmin start-sra-instance -u amadmin -N default -t rwproxy

   When prompted, type the access-manager-admin-password.

To Configure Gateway Instances to Interoperate With the Netlet Proxy and Rewriter Proxy Instances on ps1

This procedure changes the Gateway profile to use the Netlet and Rewriter proxies on ps1.

1. Start a browser.

2. Go to the following URL:

   http://ps.pstest.com/psconsole

   The Portal Server Console (psconsole) opens.

3. Log in to the Portal Server Console by typing the following values and click Log in.

   Input Field	Value
   User ID	amadmin
   Password	access-manager-admin-password

   The Portal Server Console opens.

4. Click the Secure Remote Access tab.

5. Modify the Gateway profile.

   In the Secure Remote Access tab, do the following:

   1. In the Profile section, click default.

   2. Click the Deployment tab.

   3. Locate the section for Rewriter Proxy and Netlet Proxy.

   4. Click the checkbox that enables Rewriter Proxy.

   5. Locate the Rewriter Proxy list.

   6. Add https://ps1.pstest.com:10443 to the list.

   7. Click the checkbox that enables Netlet Proxy.

   8. Locate the Netlet Proxy List.

   9. Add ps1.pstest.com:10555 to the list.

   10. Click Save.
