Sun Java Enterprise System 2005Q4 Installation Guide for UNIX

Identity Management Example

In this example, identity management is implemented by installing Access Manager and Directory Server, with Directory Server on a remote host.

Requirements

Access Manager requires Directory Server, but not necessarily a local copy. Access Manager requires a web container, which in this example is Web Server. The remote Directory Server must be running before installing any other components.

    Directory Server and the Directory Preparation Tool are automatically selected.

  3. Deselect Directory Server and specify a remote copy when prompted.

  4. Resolving incompatibilities

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

  5. Selecting the Configure Now or Configure Later option

    1. For the Configure Now option, configuration pages are displayed for those components that allow installation-time configuration. Do not accept defaults for components that are remote; use the remote information.

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

  6. Running the installation
