Complete the procedures in this section to install and
configure the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server
and portal client on
a Linux or AIX® computer.
Important: Run these installation and configuration procedures
as either the root user or as the
DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows administrator.
If you are configuring the
Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server
using the
DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows administrator
ID, then:
- The configuration ID must be the same as the ID used to install
the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
- The configuration ID must be the same as the ID specified during
the configuration dialog for the DB2® Admin
ID.
- The configuration ID must have the proper DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows authority/rights
to attach to the DB2 Instance
Name specified during the configuration dialog.
- The ID specified during the configuration dialog for the DB2 User ID must be an already existing
ID. You may not allow the configuration dialog to attempt to create
the user. For the GUI dialog, ensure that the check box for Create
the user is cleared. For the CLI dialog, ensure that the response
for Create New User is NO. After you have installed and configured
the portal server,
you can use a different user to run the portal server,
as long as that user has access to the binaries used by the portal server.
Note: Security
policies for newly created users usually auto-expire the password
after the first use and require the user to set a new password as
part of the initial logon process. Until this is done, the installer
always fails because the user password is expired and must be reset.
Before running the installer, the user must invoke a process like
ssh or telnet to log onto the target user ID and set the password
appropriately.
