Sun Java System Portal Server Secure Remote Access 7.1 Administration Guide

Creating Multiple Instances of a Gateway

To create multiple instances of a gateway, see Chapter 6, Installing and Configuring a Gateway With Portal Server, in Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1 Configuration Guide

Creating Multi-homed Gateway Instances

If you are creating multi-homed gateway instances, that is multiple gateways on one Portal Server, you must modify the platform.conf file as follows:

gatewaybindipaddress = 0.0.0.0

Creating Gateway Instances Using the Same LDAP

If you are creating multiple gateway instances that use the same LDAP, after creating the first Gateway on all subsequent Gateways:

In /etc/opt/SUNWam/config/, modify the following areas in AMConfig-instance-name.properties to be consistent with the first installed instance of the Gateway:

ProcedureTo Create Gateway Instances Using the Same LDAP

  1. Replace the key that is used to encrypt and decrypt passwords with the same string used for the first Gateway.

    am.encryption.pwd= string_key_specified_in gateway-install

  2. Replace the key that is the shared secret for application authentication module:

    com.iplanet.am.service.secret= string_key_specified_in gateway-install

  3. In /etc/opt/SUNWam/config/ums modify the following areas in serverconfig.xml to be consistent with the first installed instance of Portal Server:

    <DirDN> cn=puser,ou=DSAME Users,dc=sun,dc=net</DirDN>

    <DirPassword>string_key_specified_in gateway-install</DirPassword>

    <DirDN>cn=dsameuser,ou=DSAME Users,dc=sun,dc=net</DirDN>

    <DirPassword>string_key_specified_in gateway-install </DirPassword>

  4. Restart Access Manager services.
