Configuring remote servers
Configure a remote WebSphere Portal server to test or debug
portals or portlets remotely.
About this task
The method to configure a remote Portal server is similar to configuring a local server. For more information, see Defining local servers for testing portals
Before you test or debug portals or portlets on a remote server, you must complete an additional configuration.
Procedure
To test or debug portlet project on the remote server:
On the Portal Administration page of the remote server,
create a user that will access portlets.
Note:
- Testing or debugging a project on a remote server automatically adds the required permissions for a portal user to create portal pages and register portlets on the portal page created.
- Multiple user can login to the portal of the remote server for testing, but only one user can do the debugging at a given time.
- The JVM which the remote server runs on does not support more than one debugging connection at a time.
- For testing, every user must use their own portal user ID. Otherwise, the portlet application that you are previewing may be accidentally uninstalled by someone whose portal user ID is the same as yours. Or, your preview page may be accidentally updated, if the label is also the same.
