This section describes how to download and configure a Sun ONE proxy server to run with Enterprise Portal. The steps are the same for both Solaris and Windows platforms, except where otherwise noted.
Installing and configuring a Sun ONE proxy server
To install the trial version of the Sun ONE version 3.6 proxy server:
Using a Web browser, access the Sun Download Center.
In the Download Center’s search list box, select Web, Portal & Directory Servers.
Scroll to the Web Servers section, and select Sun ONE Web Proxy Server 3.6.
Click Download, then follow the instructions to download and install the proxy server.
In the proxy server installation directory, start the admin server by running start-admin. The name of the process is “ns-admin.”
Open a Web browser, and connect to the Netscape Server Administration console using the host and port number that you specified when you installed the proxy server:
http://host:port/admin-serv/bin/index
Select Create New iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6. In the iPlanet Web Proxy Server Installation window, accept the default values, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click OK.
The
value in the Server Port field must match the value of the proxy.port property
in global.properties.xml, whose location depends
on your application server:
EAServer – JAGUAR/Repository/WebApplications/onepage/config.
WebLogic – BEA_ROOT/onepage/config.
For more information, see the Enterprise Portal Developer’s Guide.
Select Configure More About Your New Server.
In the Server Preferences window, click Server On.
Click Save and Apply.
In the upper-right corner, click Admin to return to the Administration console. Click Users and Groups.
In the Users and Groups window, enter the values below, then click Create User.
First Name – the user’s first name.
Last Name – the user’s last name.
Full Name – the user’s full name.
User ID – this must match the value of proxy.user in global.properties.xml, and the value of Proxy User Name that you configure both on the Proxy tab in Portal Interface, and in the Change Proxy Configuration dialog box in Portal Studio.
Password – this must match the value of proxy.password in global.properties.xml, and the value of Proxy Password that you configure both on the Proxy tab in Portal Interface, and in the Change Proxy Configuration dialog box in Portal Studio.
Password – the same password.
E-mail Address – the user’s e-mail address.
Repeat this step for each user that you want to create.
In the upper-right corner, click Server Administration to return to the Server Administration console.
Select the name of the server, then in the Server Preferences window, click Restrict Access.
In the Restrict Access window:
Select “http://*” from the Editing drop-down list.
If access control is off, select Turn On Access Control.
Configure read access types (get, head, post, index, connect).
Select Deny, and click Edit Permissions.
In the Allow Access to a Resource window, scroll to the bottom of the window, and select Basic User Name and Password as the authentication method.
The user you just created should be in the list of users who are allowed access.
Click Done.
Configure write access types (put, delete, move, mkdir, rmdir).
Select Deny, and click Edit Permissions.
In the Allow Access to a Resource window, scroll to the bottom of the window, and select Basic User Name and Password as the authentication method.
The user you just created should be in the list of users who are allowed access.
Click Done.
Click OK.
Click Save and Apply.
