This demo focuses on the ease of provisioning new tenant banks in a sample
banking application through the use of Apache ANT scripts and a few portlets for the
administrator roles. A new WebSphere®Application Server Community Edition virtual
host and security realm are provisioned through ANT scripts invoked from a new
service provider administrator portlet. A new openLDAP user database is created and
new LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) files imported through another ANT script. The portal for the new tenant bank is customized through a tenant administrator portlet by modifying style sheets, providing tenant specific images and uploading and deploying these to the running application. Custom fields are added to other portlets which use XML columns defined in DB2® Express-C V9 through simple configuration steps in a tenant administrator portlet.
