IBM Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On, Version 8.2
Other installation and configuration tasks
Depending on the deployment, you might perform additional
installation and configuration tasks for IBM® Security
Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On.
Configuring the IMS Server to use directory servers
You can configure the IMS Server to
use either an LDAP server or multiple Active Directory servers. You
can configure directory servers either through the IMS Configuration Wizard or
the IMS Configuration Utility.
Backing up and restoring
You must back up your server configuration and database
before you begin a server upgrade. You can also back up your deployment
as a routine procedure in your disaster recovery plan.
Stopping and starting components
Start or stop the IBM Security
Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On server, WebSphere® Application Server,
cluster, or IBM HTTP Server
to complete installation, upgrade, or configuration tasks.
Deploying IMS Server on WebSphere Application Server manually
You can deploy IMS Server manually
if you did not deploy the IMS Server on WebSphere Application Server.
You can also do this task if the installer was not able to deploy
any one of the IMS Server EAR
files.
Installing the web server plug-in for WebSphere Application Server manually
Install the WebSphere plug-in
where the web server host exists. You must install the web server
plug-in for WebSphere Application
Server manually if you skipped the plug-in installation during the IBM HTTP Server installation. You
can skip the plug-in installation if the plug-in is already installed
with IBM HTTP Server.
Creating the database in SQL Server manually
When you create the IMS Server database
in Microsoft SQL Server
2005 and 2008 manually, you must specify the correct attributes for
the logon name, user and collation.
Ways of resolving hosts and IP addresses
You can use a hosts file or a domain name server to resolve
host names and IP addresses on a stand-alone or distributed deployment.
Adding the directory server SSL certificate to WebSphere Application Server
If the directory server connection is SSL enabled, you
must add the certificates from the directory server to WebSphere Application Server. Retrieving
the certificate ensures that you can establish a connection between
the directory server and WebSphere Application
Server. Ensure that the SSL connection is successful before you configure
the IMS Server for
directory servers.
