Requirements and Where to Find More Information
Deploying Access Manager 7.1 With Application Server 9.1Deploy Access Manager 7.1 server using either of these methods, depending on your site requirements:
Use the following table to determine the method you should use.
Installing Access Manager 7.1 Using the Java ES 5 Update 1 InstallerInstalling Access Manager 7.1 server with the Java ES 5 Update 1 installer on Application Server 9.1 involves these general steps:
Deploying an Access Manager 7.1 WAR File With Application Server 9.1Deploying an Access Manager 7.1 WAR file on Application Server 9.1 involves these steps: Downloading the Access Manager 7.1 WAR FileThe Access Manager 7.1 WAR file (amserver.war) is available as part of the Access Manager 7.1 ZIP file under Identity Management > Access Manager on the following web site: http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp The ZIP file name is AccessManager7_1release.zip, where release specifies the Access Manager release. For example, AccessManager7_1RTM.zip is the initial release of Access Manager 7.1. The following table describes the files in the Access Manager 7.1 ZIP file. The directory where you unzip the file is represented by zip_root.

# LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1 |
Launch the Configurator by specifying the following URL in your browser:
protocol://host.domain:port/amserver
For example:
http://amhost1.example.com:8080/amserver
Note: If the Access Manager 7.1 instance is already configured successfully, you will be directed to the Access Manager Console login page.
Enter the following values for the Access Manager Settings (or accept the default values).
The Server Settings are independent of the datastore that you select (File System or Directory Server) to store the Access Manager configuration data.
|
Server Settings |
|
|
Server URL |
Host server where you plan to deploy Access Manager. Can be one of the following:
Default: Host where you are deploying Access Manager. |
|
Cookie Domain |
Name of the trusted DNS domain that Access Manager returns to a browser when it grants a SSO token to a user. Specify a value only if the FQDN is used as the Server URL. For example, if the FQDN for Server URL is http://amhost1.example.com, the default value is .example.com. If you selected only the host name or localhost for the Server URL, Cookie Domain is set to blank, and any value you enter is ignored. |
|
Administrator |
|
|
Name |
amAdmin (read-only) |
|
Password |
Access Manager administrator (amAdmin) password. Enter and then retype to confirm the password. The password must be at least 8 characters long. |
|
General Settings |
|
|
Configuration Directory |
Base directory where the Access Manager configuration data is stored. The base directory applies to either File System or Directory Server, which you select under Configuration Store Settings. For example: /am_configuration_data Access Manager creates the following files and directories under the Configuration Directory:
deploy-uri is the Access Manager server deployment URI. The default is /amserver. The Access Manager 7.1 instance determines the location of the Configuration Directory using a Bootstrap File. |
|
Platform Locale |
Default language subtype for Access Manager. Default: en_US (US English) |
|
Encryption Key |
Random number that is used to encrypt passwords. Either accept the default encryption key value or specify a new value. The encryption key should be at least 12 characters long. Access Manager SDK: Use the same password encryption key value for the AM_ENC_PWD variable when you run the amconfig script to configure the Access Manager SDK. Multiple server deployment: If you are using the same WAR file to deploy multiple Access Manager instances in a multiple server deployment, you must use the same password encryption key value for each instance. |
Select either of the following options to store the Access Manager configuration data:
|
Configuration Store Settings |
|
|
File System |
Access Manager stores the service configuration data in directories under the ConfigurationDirectory/amserver/sms directory. For example: /am_configuration_data/amserver/sms Default is File System. Note: If you use an Access Manager server deployment URI other than amserver, that value is used instead of amserver for the directory name. |
|
Directory Server |
Access Manager stores the service configuration data in Sun Java System Directory Server. Directory Server must be installed and running before you deploy the Access Manager 7.1 WAR file. Note: All administrator users are created under the idRepo directory, even if you select Directory Server to store the service configuration data. |
If you selected Directory Server in the previous step, provide values for the following settings:
|
Server Settings |
|
|
Name |
Fully qualified host name of Directory Server. For example: ds.example.com |
|
Port |
Port at which Directory Server is running. Default: 389 |
|
Suffix to store configuration data |
Initial or root suffix in the directory where Access Manager configuration data will be stored. This value must exist in the Directory Server you are using. For example: dc=ds,dc=example,dc=com |
|
Directory Server Administrator |
|
|
Directory Administrator DN |
Distinguished Name (DN) of the Directory Server Administrator. Default: cn=Directory Manager |
|
Password |
Directory Server administrator password. Enter and then retype to confirm the password. The password must be at least eight characters long. |
|
Load User Management Schema |
Load Access Manager SDK Schema If checked, the Configurator loads the Access Manager SDK schema object classes and attributes from sunone_schema2.ldif, ds_remote_schema.ldif, plugin.ldif, index.ldif and install.ldif into Directory Server. Otherwise, the Configurator loads only the Access Manager service management services (SMS) object classes and attributes from the am_sm_ds_schema.ldif file into Directory Server. |
Click Configure.
(To reset all values, click Reset.)
The Configurator configures Access Manager 7.1 and then displays the configuration status:
Succeeded: The Configurator displays a link to redirect you to the Access Manager Console login page. Login as amAdmin and the password you specified during the configuration.
Failed: The Configurator displays an error message that describes the failure. If a configuration error occurred (such as an invalid password or host name), Access Manager returns to the Configurator page. Correct the error and continue. For some errors, the message will point to the Access Manager log files to help you to determine the error.
Depending on when a failure occurs, the debug logs might not be created in their default locations. In this situation, check the logs for the following directory under the Access Manager web container:
@BASE_DIR@@SERVER_URI@/@DEBUG_SUBDIR@
If configuration was successful, you cannot reconfigure Access Manager using the Configurator. If you subsequently invoke the Configurator, Access Manager displays either the login page or the Console. If you are already logged in and have a valid session, you are redirected to the console. If you do not have a valid session, Access Manager displays the login page.
The bootstrap file is an ASCII text file containing a single entry that specifies the location of the configuration directory for the specific Access Manager 7.1 instance. Each configured Access Manager 7.1 instance on a host server has a unique bootstrap file. When you run the Configurator, a bootstrap file is created with the following name for the specific Access Manager 7.1 instance:
user-home-directory/AccessManager/AMConfig_deployed-instance-server-path_deploy-uri
Where:
user-home-directory is the home directory of the user who deployed the Access Manager instance from the WAR file.
deployed-instance-server-path is the path of the deployed Access Manager instance.
deploy-uri is the Access Manager server deployment URI.
Each time the Access Manager web container is restarted, the Access Manager instance accesses the single WAR bootstrap file to determine the location of its configuration data. If the single WAR bootstrap file is deleted, Access Manager displays the Configurator page instead of the login page, which allows you to reconfigure the Access Manager instance. The value in the bootstrap file is determined from the value you enter in the Configurator Configuration Directory field.
If the Java Security Manager is enabled, add the following Access Manager 7.1 permissions to the Application Server 9.1 server.policy file:
// Additions for Access Manager
grant codeBase "file:\${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/applications/j2ee-modules/amserver/-" {

If you deploy Access Manager 7.1 using a name other than amserver, change that name in the grant statement.
The Sun Java System Access Manager SDK implements APIs that allow an application such as Sun Java System Portal Server to manage users and related information in the user branch of the identity repository. Deploying the Access Manager 7.1 SDK requires these steps:
Install the Access Manager 7.1 SDK by running the Java ES 5 Update 1 installer with the Configure Later option.
Verify that Application Server 9.1 is installed and running on the server.
Verify that the full Access Manager 7.1 server is running and accessible, either on a remote server or on another instance on the same server where you plan to install the Access Manager SDK.
On the server where you plan to install the Access Manager SDK, log in as or become superuser (root).
Start the Java ES 5 Update 1 installer and accept the Software License Agreement.
On the Choose Software Components page, under Access Manager 7.1, select only the Access Manager SDK. For example:

On the Specify Installation Directories page, accept either the Access Manager default installation directory (/opt) or specify a different directory, if you prefer. For example:

The installer then displays the Verify System Requirements page. For example:

The installer checks the system resources based on the components you have selected and the installation directories you provided:
If the installer displays System Ready for Installation, click Next and continue with the next step.
If the installer displays System Not Ready for Installation, click View Report for information about the problems that the installer found. If your system does not meet the minimum system requirements, in most cases, the installer cannot continue. For example, the system might be missing one or more required patches, which you must install before continuing with the installation.
On the Choose a Configuration Type page, specify Configure Later. For example:

On the Ready to Install page, click Install to finish the installation.
The installer writes installation summary and log files in the following directory, depending on your platform:
Solaris systems: /var/sadm/install/logs
Linux and HP-UX systems: /var/opt/sun/install/logs
Windows systems: temp-directory\SunJavaES.log
where temp-directory is the user-defined temporary directory for the system.
For more information about these log files, see:
Because you specified the Configure Later option when you ran the Java ES 5 Update 1 installer, you must now configure the Access Manager 7.1 SDK by editing variables in the amsamplesilent file (or a copy of the file) and then running the amconfig script.
On Windows systems, the corresponding files are amconfig.bat and AMConfigurator.properties. These files are installed in the javaes-install-dir\identity\setup directory, where javaes-install-dir is the Java ES 5 installation directory. The default value is C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5.
On the server where you installed the Access Manager 7.1 SDK, change to the /bin directory, depending on your platform:
Solaris systems: /opt/SUNWam/bin
Linux and HP-UX systems: /opt/sun/identity/bin
Windows systems: javaes-install-dir\identity\setup
Where javaes-install-dir is the Java ES 5 installation directory. The default value is C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5.
Make a copy of the amsamplesilent file. The following examples use the amsdk_configure file.
In the amsdk_configure file, set the following Access Manager configuration variables.
If a variable is commented out, also remove the comment character (#) when you set the value.
