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. In practice, this configuration is not recommended as a Gateway is designed to work in a DMZ, which mandates that the Portal Server and Gateway are deployed on separate nodes.

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 and Gateway on a Single Node using the Configure Now Mode

1. Ensure that Directory Server and web container are running.

2. Select the Gateway and the PortalServer options, which are displayed in the Portal Server 7.2 GUI installer when you install Portal Server 7.2.

3. Enter Directory Server, Access Manager, and web container information in the specific installer screens.

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 -p portal-id --enable

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

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

1. Install Access Manager and Directory Server using the Java ES 5 Update1 installer on top of the Application Server 9.1.

2. Select the Gateway and PortalServer options, which are displayed in the Portal Server 7.2 GUI installer when you install Portal Server 7.2.

3. Install the selected components using the Portal Server 7.2 GUI installer in the Configure Later mode.

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

5. Modify the example17.xml file.

   The example17.xml file is located in the PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/samples/psconfig directory.

   You can use this sample to configure all the components in Portal Server such as Search Server, Portal Server, SRA Core, Gateway, Netlet Proxy, Rewriter Proxy on Application Server 9.1.

6. Configure Portal Server using the psconfig command.

   PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/psconfig --config example17.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 -p portal-id --enable

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