When you install Portal Server using the installer, Access Manager SDK is also installed on the node where you install Portal Server. In a distributed installation scenario, you need to install Directory Server, Access Manager, and a web container on one or more other nodes. You can install Portal Server in the Configure Now mode or in the Configure Later mode.
This chapter explains the following tasks:
To Install Access Manager and Portal Server on Different Nodes in the Configure Now Mode
