3.5.4 Configuring 8.5x Content Provider Password

To configure the authentication password in the PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.5x content provider database:

Note:

Complete the following steps for each PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.5x content provider database for which you want to use PeopleSoft Single Sign-On with the PeopleSoft Portal Solutions database.

  1. From your browser, sign on to your PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.5x content provider database.

  2. Select PeopleTools, Portal, Portal Node Definitions.

    The Node Definitions Search page appears.

  3. Click Search.

  4. Select the PeopleSoft Portal Solutions database default local node.

    If you renamed the PeopleSoft Portal Solutions database default local node, use the new node name. This new node name is likely to be the same as your PeopleSoft Portal Solutions database name.

  5. On the Node Definition tab, select Password in the Authentication Option field.

  6. Enter <Node Password> in the Password field.

    Use the same password that you created in the step “Configuring the Password in the PeopleSoft Portal Solutions Database.” On your keyboard, press the Tab key.

  7. Enter <Node Password> in the Confirm Password field.

  8. Select the Portal tab.

    Ensure that the Tools Release and Application Release fields are the same as your Portal database for the Portal Local Node. You can verify this information by accessing the Portal Node Integration Broker Portal Tab.

  9. Enter both the content URI text and portal URI text values that correspond to the PeopleSoft Portal Solutions database web server.

    • The content URI uses the .../psc/... format.

      For example, Content URI Text = http://<someserver>/psc/<site name>/

    • The portal URI uses the .../psp/... format.

      For example, Portal URI Text = http://<someserver>/psp/<site name>/

    Replace the <someserver> value with the hostname of your PeopleSoft Portal Solutions database web server. Include the port number and network domain name as necessary.

    Replace the <site name> value with the directory in which you installed the PeopleSoft web server files for your PeopleSoft Portal Solutions database. Do not forget to use the trailing forward slash "/" character.

  10. Click Save.

  11. Restart the content provider database web server.
