Requirements and Sequence Issues

If you are using Access Manager with Instant Messaging, you must also use Access Manager SDK. For the Instant Messaging Server Core subcomponent, Access Manager is required, but not necessarily a local copy (or you can use the files system for policy and storage). For the Instant Messaging Core subcomponent, the Access Manager SDK must be local to Instant Messaging. During installation of Access Manager SDK, you need to configure Access Manager SDK to communication to the remote Access Manager server. The Access Manager Resources subcomponent requires a web container, which must be local. If you use Access Manager, Directory Server is required, but not necessarily a local copy.

If you are deploying other product components with Instant Messaging, the other product components must be configured before configuring Instant Messaging.

To Develop a Sequence for Host A

The following high-level tasks are required:

1. Checking the installation sequence guidelines

   Check to see what guidelines apply to this example and make adjustments as needed.

2. Checking the installation prerequisites

   Check to see what tasks you might need to perform for this installation before starting.

3. Running the installer

4. At component selection, choosing the Access Manager and Directory Server

5. Resolving incompatibilities

   The installer verifies software on your host and provides guidance if incompatibilities are identified.

6. Verifying installation directories

7. Selecting the Configure Now or Configure Later type

   1. For the Configure Now type, configuration pages are displayed for Web Server.

      Gather your configuration information from the tables in Chapter 3, Configuration Information, in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Reference for UNIX.

   2. For the Configure Later type, configuration pages are not displayed.

8. Running the installation

9. Viewing the Installation Summary and Log

10. Completing post-install configuration

    • Access Manager Postinstallation Configuration

11. Starting the product components in this order:

    1. Starting and Stopping Directory Server

    2. Starting and Stopping Access Manager

To Develop a Sequence for Host B

The following high-level tasks are required:

1. Checking the installation sequence guidelines

   Check to see what guidelines apply to this example and make adjustments as needed.

2. Checking the installation prerequisites

   Check to see what tasks you might need to perform for this installation before starting.

3. Running the installer

4. At component selection, choosing the Instant Messaging Resources subcomponent and Web Server

5. Resolving incompatibilities

   The installer verifies software on your host and provides guidance if incompatibilities are identified.

6. Verifying installation directories

7. Selecting the Configure Now or Configure Later type

   Instant Messaging cannot be configured during installation.

   1. For the Configure Now type, configuration pages are displayed for Web Server.

      Gather your configuration information from the tables in Chapter 3, Configuration Information, in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Reference for UNIX.

   2. For the Configure Later type, configuration pages are not displayed.

8. Running the installation

9. Viewing the Installation Summary and Log

10. Completing post-install configuration

    • Web Server Postinstallation Configuration

    • Configuring Instant Messaging After a Configure Later Installation For the remote product components: During Instant Messaging configuration, specify the remote location (Host A) for Directory Server and Access Manager.

11. Starting the product components in this order:

    1. Starting and Stopping Web Server

    2. Starting and Stopping Instant Messaging Server and Multiplexor

To Develop a Sequence for Host C

The following high-level tasks are required:

1. Checking the installation sequence guidelines

   Check to see what guidelines apply to this example and make adjustments as needed.

2. Checking the installation prerequisites

   Check to see what tasks you might need to perform for this installation before starting.

3. Running the installer

4. At component selection, choosing Instant Messaging Core Server subcomponent and theAccess Manager SDK subcomponent

   Directory Server is automatically selected.

5. Deselecting Directory Server and specifying the remote copy when prompted

6. Resolving incompatibilities

   The installer verifies software on your host and provides guidance if incompatibilities are identified.

7. Verifying installation directories

8. Selecting the Configure Now or Configure Later type

   Instant Messaging cannot be configured during installation.

   1. For the Configure Now type, configuration pages are displayed for Web Server.

      Gather your configuration information for Access Manager SDK from the tables in Chapter 3, Configuration Information, in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Reference for UNIX.

   2. For the Configure Later type, configuration pages are not displayed.

9. Running the installation

10. Viewing the Installation Summary and Log

11. Completing post-install configuration

    • Access Manager Postinstallation Configuration

    • Configuring Instant Messaging After a Configure Later Installation For remote product components: During Instant Messaging configuration, specify the remote location (Host A) for Directory Server and Access Manager.

12. Starting the product components in this order:

    1. Starting and Stopping Access Manager

    2. Starting and Stopping Instant Messaging Server and Multiplexor
