Delegated Administrator comprises the following components:
Delegated Administrator Utility (client)—the command-line interface invoked with commadmin.
Required. You must configure the utility on all machines on which you install Delegated Administrator.
Delegated Administrator Server—the Delegated Administrator server components needed to run the Delegated Administrator utility and console.
Required. You must configure the Delegated Administrator server on at least one machine.
Delegated Administrator Console—the Delegated Administrator graphical user interface (GUI).
Optional. If you want to use only the Delegated Administrator utility, you do not have to configure the console.
In addition, the Delegated Administrator server and console must be deployed to a Web container. You can configure the Delegated Administrator console and server on
Sun Java System Web Server 6.x
Sun Java System Web Server 7.x
Sun Java System Application Server 7.x
Sun Java System Application Server 8.x
Follow these guidelines:
The Delegated Administrator server must be deployed to the Web container used by Access Manager.
You can deploy the Delegated Administrator console and server on two different Web containers, on two different instances of the Web container, or on the same Web container.
Before configuring Delegated Administrator, you should gather configuration information.
