To Configure External SSL Device Accelerators

1. Follow the instructions in the user guide to install the hardware and software packages.

2. Install the required patches, if any.

3. Configure a gateway instance to use HTTP.

4. Enter the following values in the platform.conf file:

   gateway.enable.customurl=true

   gateway.enable.accelerator=true

   gateway.httpurl=https://external-device-URL:port-number

5. Gateway notification can be configured in two ways:

   • When the Access Manager can contact the gateway machine at port 880 (Session notifications are in HTTP), enter values in the platform.conf file.

     vi /etc/opt/SUNWportal/platform.conf.default

     gateway.protocol=http

     gateway.port=880

     • When the Access Manager can contact the external device/proxy at port 443 (Session notifications are be in HTTPS), enter values in the platform.conf file.

       vi /etc/opt/SUNWportal/platform.conf.default

       gateway.host=External Device/Proxy Host Name

       gateway.protocol=https

       gateway.port=443

6. Make sure that the SSL device/proxy is up and running and configured to tunnel the traffic to the gateway port.

7. From a terminal window, restart the gateway:

   ./psadmin start-sra-instance -u amadmin -f passwordfile -N profilename -t gateway
