Configuring Sample Portals

After installing Portal Server 7.2, you need to manually configure sample portals. By default, sample portals such as Enterprise, Sandbox, and Welcome are not installed with the Portal Server 7.2 GUI installer. You can install these default sample portals to access Portal Server 7.2. The easiest way to install samples it to use psconfig. If you use psconfig to install samples, set the Samples parameter in the configuration XML file to true. For information on configuring sample portals, refer the Configuring a Sample Portal section.

To install default sample portals, do the following:

To Configure Sample Portals

1. Copy the /PortalServer-base/SUNWportal/samples/portals/shared/input.properties.template file to the /var/opt/SUNWportal/tmp/input.properties file.

   In the Linux platform, copy to the /var/opt/sun/portal/tmp/input.properties file.

   ---

   Note –

   You can copy the input.properties file to any directory. However, the input.properties and the password.properties files must exist in the same directory.

   ---

2. Edit the input.properties file that you created in the /var/opt/SUNWportal/tmp directory with the following values that begin and end with “%”.

   • ps.config.location=%PS_CONFIG_LOCATION%

   • ps.portal.id=%PORTAL_ID%

   • ps.access.url=%PORTAL_ACCESS_URL%

   • ps.webapp.uri=%PORTAL_WEBAPP_URI%

   • search.access.url=%SEARCH_ACCESS_URL%

   • search.id=%SEARCH_ID%

   • am.admin.dn=%AM_ADMIN_DN%

   • default.org.dn=%DEFAULT_ORG_DN%

   • portlet.dn=%PORTLET_DN%

   • ps.profiler.email=%PROFILER_EMAIL%

   • ps.profiler.smtp.host=%PROFILER_SMTP_HOST%

3. Copy the /PortalServer-base/SUNWportal/samples/portals/shared/password.properties.template file to the /var/opt/SUNWportal/tmp/password.properties file.

   In the Linux platform copy the file to the /var/opt/sun/portal/tmp/password.properties directory.

4. Edit the /var/opt/SUNWportal/tmp/password.properties file and replace the following values that begin and end with “%” with proper passwords.

   • amadminPassword=%AMADMIN_PASSWORD%

   • amldapuserPassword=%AMLDAPUSER_PASSWORD%

   • userManagementPassword=%USER_MANAGEMENT_PASSWORD%

5. Run the following command to deploy the Enterprise, Sandbox, and Welcome sample portals.

   /usr/sfw/bin/ant -buildfile /PortalServer-base/SUNWportal/samples/portals/build.xml -Dconfig.location /var/opt/SUNWportal/tmp/ -logfile /var/opt/SUNWportal/tmp/log-file.txt
