Installing and Configuring the SharedTasks Portlet

To Install and Configure the SharedTasks Portlet

Before You Begin

Configure the back-end services as outlined in supplement Chapter 16, Configuring Back-end Services.

Steps

Create the portlet WAR file.

To create the WAR file:
1. Edit the tokens.properties file to specify customizable parameters for the portlet you are deploying.
  
  Shared Events defines the following tokens:
  
  SSOADAPTER_TEMPLATE_NAME
  
  Default value is CTY-SHARED-EVENTS.
  
  Specifies the name of SSO Adapter configuration template name. This template contains the required configuration information for the portlet functioning. This template is per-portlet application; that is, the name should be different for each deployed portlet instance.
  
  For example, HACKERS_COMMUNITY_EVENTS
  
  SSOADAPTER_TEMPLATE_DESC
  
  Default value is CTY-SHARED-EVENTS.
  
  Contains the description for SSO Adapter template. This needs to be the same as SSOADAPTER_TEMPLATE_NAME for the template to be editable from Access Manager console.
  
  For example, HACKERS_COMMUNITY_EVENTS.
  
  SSOADAPTER_ORGANIZATION_DN
  
  Specifies the distinguished node of organization under which the SSO Adapter template is loaded.
  
  For example, o=CommunitySample,dc=siroe,dc=example,dc=com.
  
  DA_SERVER_HOST
  
  Specifies the fully qualified name of the system where Delegated Administration server is running.
  
  For example, daserver.blue.planet.com.
  
  DA_SERVER_PORT
  
  Default value is 80.
  
  Specifies the port number of the Delegated Administration server.
  
  For example, 80.
  
  DA_DOMAIN_SEPARATOR
  
  Default value is @.
  
  Specifies the user ID and Domain Separater character.
  
  For example, @.
  
  DA_PROXY_ADMIN_USER_ID
  
  Specifies the admin user for Delegated Administration that can be used to perform proxy authentication of users.
  
  For example, admin.
  
  DA_PROXY_ADMIN_USER_PASSWORD
  
  Specifies the password for DA_ADMIN_USER_ID.
  
  For example, abc123.
  
  DA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN
  
  Specifies the DNS Domain Name of the organization where the CTY-PROXY-USER would be provisioned.
  
  For example, blue.planet.com.
  
  IS_HOSTED_DOMAIN_ENV
  
  Default value is false.
  
  Specifies whether the portlet should use a hosted domains environment.
  
  Note –
  If the Delegated Administration server and Calendar Server are configured to use hosted domains setup, the value needs to be set to true.
  
  For example, false
  
  CALENDAR_SERVER_HOST
  
  Specifies the fully qualified name of the system where Calendar Server is running.
  
  For example, calendar.blue.planet.com.
  
  CALENDAR_SERVER_PORT

  Specifies the port Number of Calendar Server.
  
  For example, 3080.
  
  CALENDAR_PROXY_ADMIN_UID
  
  Specifies the admin user for Calendar Server that can be used to perform proxy authentication of users.
  
  For example, calmaster.
  
  CALENDAR_PROXY_ADMIN_PASSWORD
  
  Specifies the password for CALENDAR_PROXY_ADMIN_UID.
  
  For example, calmaster.
  
  AUTO_DELETE_CTY_PROXY_USER_CAL
  
  Default value is false.
  
  Specifies whether the portlet should delete the CTY-PROXY-USER when a community is deleted. The CTY-PROXY-USER is the community proxy user, a user created by the Shared Tasks portlet
  
  For example, false.
  
  AM_ADMINISTRATOR_DN
  
  Specifies the distinguished name of the administrator for Access Manager software.
  
  For example, uid=amAdmin,ou=People,dc=blue,dc=planet,dc=com
  
  AM_ADMINISTRATOR_PASSWORD
  
  Specifies the password for AM_ADMINISTRATOR_DN.
  
  For example, abc123.
  
  AMADMIN_COMMAND
  
  Default value is /opt/SUNWam/bin/amadmin.
  
  Specifies the fully qualified path name to the amadmin CLI of Access Manager.
  
  For example, /opt/sun/am/bin/amadmin.
2. Run ant customize.
  
  After Portal Server software has been installed, the Shared Tasks application will be under the /opt/SUNWportal/portletapps/sharedtasks directory. If Portal Server has been configured, the shared tasks application will be in /var/opt/SUNWportal/portletapps/sharedtasks directory.

Load SSO Adapter Template.

Change directories to /var/opt/SUNWportal/portletapps/sharedtasks/build/conf directory and type ant -f config.xml to load the SSO Adapter configuration.

Deploy the Portlets.
1. Create a file containing the password of the amadmin user. For example, type, echo mypassword >/tmp/ampasswd.
2. Type /opt/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin deploy-portlet -u amadmin -f /tmp/ampassword -p myPortal -v -i myInstance -g FULL_PATH_TO_sharedevents.war_FILE --userinfofile FULL_PATH_TO_userInfoMapping.properties.
3. Restart the container.

Add the Display Profile data to the templates.

The Shared Tasks portlet must be added to the Community templates to show up in new communities (created after the application has been installed). The template files are located at /var/opt/SUNWportal/portals/myPortal/communitytemplates/ by default. Add the DP to the member.xml file in the template's directory.

For Shared Tasks, do the following:

Add your new channel to the available ones.

<Available>
....
<Reference value="%COMMUNITY_CONTAINER%/Sharedtasks"/>
</Available>

Add your new channel to the selected ones.

<Selected>
....
<Reference value="%COMMUNITY_CONTAINER%/Sharedtasks"/>
</Selected>

Add the channel definition.
