FileNet P8 Application Engine, Version 5.2 Application server:
WebSphere Application Server
Configuring Application Engine on WebSphere Application
Server
After you install the Application Engine server, you must
configure WebSphere® Application
Server to work
with Application Engine. You can
also configure changes for optional modes like SSO.
Remember: In farm and cluster
environments, configure Application Engine on WebSphere Application
Server on all nodes.
Editing web.xml for container-managed authentication
You can choose to use WebSphere Application
Server with
container-managed authentication. To enable this optional authentication
approach, edit the web.xml file on the WebSphere Application
Server.
Editing web.xml for SSO
You can use SSO with a proxy server in your Application Engine environment. To enable
this optional approach, edit the web.xml file
on the WebSphere Application
Server.
Configuring Lightweight Third Party Authentication (LTPA)
To set up LTPA security, configure settings to match on
both the Content Platform Engine application
server and the Application Engine application
server. If your Application Engine and Content Platform Engine are on the same WebSphere Application
Server, you are not required to
configure LTPA.
Configuring stand-alone Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
To enable LDAP communication between Application Engine and Content Engine, you must configure settings
on the WebSphere Application
Server. It is
recommended that the LDAP configuration settings match those set on
the application server where Content Engine is
installed.
Configuring Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for federated repositories
If you have a multiple domain environment, configure LDAP
settings for federated repositories on the WebSphere Application
Server to enable LDAP communication
between Application Engine and Content Engine. It is recommended that
the LDAP configuration settings match those set on the application
server where Content Engine is
installed.
