        "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\bin\versionInfo.bat"
7. Create a new "Application Server" profile and deploy the IDSWebApp.war file
   1. Use deploy_IDSWebApp script or batch file provided by Directory Server V6.4.0.25 or later fix packs:
      • Requires WebSphere Application Server and SDS V6.4 are installed on the same system.
      • Also, the "Web Administration Tool" package/rpm/feature is already installed. 
      • Go into the <sds64_install_location>/idstools
        Where <sds64_install_location> is as follows:
        AIX: /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.4
        Linux: /opt/ibm/ldap/V6.4
        Windows default installation location: C:\Program Files\IBM\ldap\V6.4
      • Run the deploy_IDSWebApp script or batch file:
        AIX, Linux:
        ./deploy_IDSWebApp -p /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
        Windows:
        .\deploy_IDSWebApp.bat -p "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer"
      • The deploy_IDSWebApp script or batch file, creates a profile named TDSWebAdminProfile and deploys IDSWebApp.war into the profile. The profile server is also started.
      • Connect by using a web browser to URL such as: https://<hostname>:12101/IDSWebApp
   2. Manually create the "Application Server" profile and deploy the IDSWebApp.war file.
      • Create a profile:
        AIX and Linux:
        /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/manageprofiles.sh -create -profileName AppSrv01 -nodeName DefaultNode -hostName <hostname> -adminUserName wasadmin -adminPassword secret -cellName <hostname>Node01Cell -enableAdminSecurity true -serverName server1 -profilePath /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01 -templatePath /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profileTemplates/default -applyPerfTuningSetting standard -enableService false
        Windows:
        "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServe\bin\manageprofiles.bat" -create -profileName AppSrv01 -nodeName DefaultNode -hostName <hostname> -adminUserName wasadmin -adminPassword secret -cellName <hostname>Node01Cell -profilePath "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01" -templatePath "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profileTemplates\default"
      • Verify the ports from AboutThisProfile.txt from <profilePath>/logs/ folder and note down the important ports:
        Administrative console secure port: 9043
        HTTPS transport port: 9443
      • Start the profile
        AIX and Linux:
        cd /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/bin
        ./startServer.sh server1
        Windows:
        cd "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\bin"
        .\startServer.bat server1
      • Connect to the WebSphere Application Server Admin Console by using URL such as https://<hostname>:9043/ibm/console
      • On the left navigational pane, click Application > New Application.
      • In the New Application page, click New Enterprise Application.
      • In the Path to the new application page, select Remote file system, and enter the path of the IDSWebApp.war file in the Full path field. You can also click Browse to specify the path.
      • In the How do you want to install the application page, select the Fast Path option and click Next.
      • In the Select installation options page, the default options are selected.
      • Click Next.
      • In the Map modules to server page, you can map modules to the servers that are specified in the Clusters and servers field.
        • Select the check box for the required module, and click Apply.
        • After you complete the mapping, click Next.
      • In the Map virtual hosts for Web modules page, you can map the web application to the specific virtual servers.
        • If there are more virtual hosts, the server requires information about the WebSphere Application Server environment to select the right module. In this example, the default_host option is available for selection.
      • Click Next.
      • In the Map context roots for Web modules page, enter the context root as /IDSWebApp in the field.
      • A summary with your selection is shown.
      • Click Finish.
        It initiates the installation of your application. A summary of installation is shown.
      • To save the changes to the configuration, click Save.
      • On the left navigational pane, click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications.
      • In the Enterprise Applications page, select the check box next to IDSWebApp_war, and click Start to start Web Administration Tool.
      • To access Web Administration Tool, open a browser and enter the following address:
