Sun Java System Delegated Administrator 6.4 Administration Guide

ProcedureSummary of Configuration Choices

  1. Starting the Configuration

    Enter the information requested in these panels to begin the configuration.

  2. Configuring the Delegated Administrator Utility

    These panels follow directly after the Select Components to Configure panel. They ask for information used to configure the Delegated Administrator utility.

    • The standard approach is to configure the Delegated Administrator utility with the other two components, the server and console, on the same machine.

      You must configure the Delegated Administrator utility on all machines on which you install a Delegated Administrator server.

    • You can also configure the Delegated Administrator utility and console on a separate machine. On the machine on which you configure the utility and console, you would select only those components on the Select Components to Configure panel.

      In this case, you must run the configuration program again on the machine where you configure the server.

  3. Configuring the Delegated Administrator Console

    These panels follow the panels that configure the utility.

    You can choose whether or not to configure the Delegated Administrator console.

    • If you configure the Delegated Administrator console and server on the same machine, you would select both the console and the server in Select Components to Configure panel.

    • You also can configure the Delegated Administrator console and server on different machines.

      On the machine on which you configure the console, you would select only the console on the Select Components to Configure panel. The utility is selected by default; be sure it remains selected.

      In this case, you must run the configuration program again on the machine on which you configure the server.

      If you configure the console and server on different machines, the utility is configured on both machines.

    The configuration program displays different panels depending on which Web container you select for the console. You can deploy to one of the following Web containers:

    • 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

    If you are configuring the Delegated Administrator server and console on one machine, you will go through these instructions twice (once for the server, once for the console).

  4. Configuring the Delegated Administrator Server

    These panels follow the panels that configure the console.

    You can choose whether or not to configure the Delegated Administrator server on a given machine.

    If you do not choose to configure the server on a given machine, the configuration program warns you that you must configure it on another machine. The server component is required for running the utility and console.

    All other considerations for deploying the server are the same as those for the console, as (described in Configuring the Delegated Administrator Console.


    Note –

    The Delegated Administrator server uses the same Web container as Access Manager. The configuration program asks for Web container information after it asks for the Access Manager base directory.
