Creating Session Variables

The installation of the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 2005Q4 SP5 requires that you create passwords to use to install the Sun Java System Web Server and to access the Administration Server. The provisioning system stores secure data, such as passwords, as session variables. When you save a password as a session variable, the password is stored in a way that prevents other users from accessing the password information. However, the password information is available for use by the provisioning system when you are logged in to that session.

You must create a Common Server Settings password for the Sun Java Enterprise System installation program. Create a session variable called JES_ADMIN_PASSWORD. The Sun Java Enterprise System installation program uses the password to install the Sun Java System Web Server components. For more information about this password, see information about CMN_ADMIN_PASSWORD in Sun Java Enterprise System 2005Q4 Installation Guide for UNIX.

You must create a password that you want to use to access the Administration Server. Create a session variable called WEB_ADMIN_PASSWORD. The value that you give this session variable is the password that you want to use to access the Administration Server. When the provisioning system is installing the Administration Server, it sets the access password for the server to the value of this variable.

The passwords created with JES_ADMIN_PASSWORD and WEB_ADMIN_PASSWORD variables must be a minimum of eight characters.

How to Create Session Variables

Steps

1. From any page in the N1 Service Provisioning System, click Session Variables.

   The Session Variables link can be found in the top right corner of the page.

2. In the Session Variable column, in the blank field, type JES_ADMIN_PASSWORD.

3. In the Password column, click the checkbox.

4. In the Value column, in the blank field, type the password you want to use to install the Sun Java System Web Server components. The password must be a minimum of 8 characters.

5. Click the Create link.

6. In the N1 Grid SPS password field, type the password you use to access the N1 Service Provisioning System.

7. Click the Save button.

   The provisioning system creates the session variable and returns you to the session variable list.

8. In the Session Variable column, in the blank field, type WEB_ADMIN_PASSWORD.

9. In the Password column, click the checkbox.

10. In the blank field of the Value column, type the password you want to use to access the Administration Server. The password must be a minimum of eight characters.
