Technical Note: Deploying Access Manager With Application Server 9.1

Installing Access Manager 7.1 Using the Java ES 5 Update 1 Installer

Installing Access Manager 7.1 server with the Java ES 5 Update 1 installer on Application Server 9.1 involves these general steps:

  1. Get the Java ES 5 Update 1 installer. The installer is available in a media kit containing CDs or a DVD, as web download, on a pre-installed system, or from a file server on your network.

  2. Determine the installation mode:

    • Graphical mode: An interactive wizard guides you through a series of choices on installation pages on a graphical workstation.

    • Text-based mode: An interactive command-line installer prompts you for responses in a terminal window.

    • Silent mode: The installer reads input from a state file, which is a text file containing name-value pairs of configuration information. You create a state file by running the installer with the -no and -saveState options. Then, you edit the state file for the specific host server where you plan to install the various Java ES components.

  3. Determine the installer configuration option you plan to use. You can use either of these options to install Access Manager 7.1 when you run the Java ES 5 Update 1 installer.

    • Configure Now: During installation, fully configure Access Manager 7.1 by either choosing configuration values or accepting the default values.

    • Configure Later: During installation, specify only minimal configuration values. Then, configure Access Manager 7.1 by running the amconfig script using configuration values in the amsamplesilent input file (or a copy of the file).

      On Windows systems, the corresponding files are amconfig.bat and AMConfigurator.properties. These files are installed in the javaes-install-dir\identity\setup directory, where javaes-install-dir is the Java ES 5 installation directory. The default value is C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5.

      Note: When you run the amconfig script or amconfig.bat to configure Access Manager 7.1 (either the full server or SDK), the Application Server 9.1 web container variables begin with AS81.

  4. Run the installer. For more information, including the detailed steps, see the following documents, depending on your platform:

  5. If you ran the installer with the Configure Later option, run the configuration script (amconfig or amconfig.bat) to configure Access manager 7.1.

    For more information about running these scripts, see Chapter 2, Running the Access Manager amconfig Script, in Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 Postinstallation Guide.
