Proxy Information

The following table describes information that you must enter if you are installing the proxy subcomponents on a host on which there is an existing installation of Portal Server Secure Remote Access.

Table 1–51 Proxy Information for Portal Server Secure Remote Access Netlet Proxy


Label and State File Parameter	Description
Work with Portal Server on another host? `SRA_IS_CREATE_INSTANCE`	Select this option (or answer `y` in CLI mode) only if you are installing the Netlet and Rewriter proxies on this host and these proxies are interacting with a remote instance of Portal Server SRA. Deselect this option (or answer n in CLI mode) if the Netlet and Rewriter proxies are interacting with a local instance of Portal Server SRA. In a state file, the permitted values are `y` or `n`. The meanings of these values in a state file is as follows: `y` specifies that the proxies work with a local instance of Portal Server SRA `n` specifies that the proxies work with a remote instance of Portal Server SRA The remaining fields in this table apply only if you select this option to indicate that these proxies will work with a remote instance of Portal Server SRA.
Portal Server Protocol `SRA_SERVER_PROTOCOL`	Protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) that the gateway will use to communicate with Portal Server. In a state file, specify `https` or `http`. The default value is `https`.
Portal Server Host `SRA_SERVER_HOST`	Host name of the host on which you are installing Portal Server.
Portal Server Port `SRA_SERVER_PORT`	Port used to access Portal Server. The default value is `8080`.
Portal Server Deployment URI `SRA_SERVER_DEPLOY_URI`	Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that you use to deploy Portal Server. The value for the deployment URI must have a leading slash and must contain only one slash. The default value is `/portal`.
Organization DN `SRA_IS_ORG_DN`	The distinguished name (DN) of the root suffix for the domain in which Portal Server is being installed. The default value is `dc=com` . You must edit this default value.
Access Manager Service URI `SRA_IS_SERVICE_URI`	Uniform Resource Identifier used to invoke Access Manager services. The default value is `/amserver`.
Access Manager Password Encryption Key `SRA_IS_PASSWORD_KEY`	A string containing the encryption key generated during Access Manager installation. This string is used as the seed for password generation. Portal Server SRA must use the encryption key that Access Manager used at installation, so the installer automatically sets the default value to that key. In the interactive installer, do not edit the displayed default value. After installation of Access Manager, the encryption key is mapped to the Access Manager properties file, `AMConfig.properties`. Location is: Solaris OS: `/etc/opt/SUNWam/config` Linux: `/etc/opt/sun/identity/config` The property that contains this value is `am.encryption.pwd`.
