Deploying a new Security Manager

Before you can use the new Security Manager, you must deploy it to Studio.

The your-security-manager-name directory you created contains an ant build file.

For Tomcat, the ant deploy task places a .jar file containing your Security Manager into the portal/tomcat-<version>/lib/ext directory.

For WebLogic, you must add it to the deployed .ear file, so that it will be deployed automatically the next time you deploy the file, for example when installing a production instance after you have completed testing on a development instance.

To deploy a custom Security Manager in WebLogic:

  1. Run the ant build script for the custom security manager project to generate a JAR archive named <your-security-manager-name>-mdexsecuritymanager.jar, located in your security manager project directory.
  2. Add the .jar file to the APP-INF/lib directory within the WebLogic .ear file.
