Deploy Administrative Console on IBM WebSphere

To deploy the CA Advanced Authentication on IBM WebSphere 7.0, 8.0 and 8.5, perform the following steps:

1. Change the working directory to:

   <install_location>/arcot/sbin
   

2. Type source arwfenv and press Enter to set the $ARCOT_HOME environment variable.
3. Restart the application server for the changes to take effect.
4. Navigate to the following location where the CA Advanced Authentication WAR file is located:

   <install_location>/arcot/java/webapps
   

5. Copy the arcotadmin.war file to a temporary directory. For example, opt/arcot_temp.
6. Extract the arcotadmin.war file contents.

   Of the JARs that are extracted to the /opt/arcot_temp/WEB_INF/lib directory, the following JARs are used to create the shared library in IBM WebSphere:

   • axiom-api-1.2.10.jar
   • axiom-impl-1.2.10.jar
   • axis2-java2wsdl-1.5.2.jar
   • backport-util-concurrent-3.1.jar
   • commons-httpclient-3.1.jar
   • commons-pool-1.5.5.jar
   • axiom-dom-1.2.10.jar
   • axis2-adb-1.5.2.jar
   • axis2-kernel-1.5.2.jar
   • commons-codec-1.3.jar
   • commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
   • log4j-1.2.16.jar
   • axis2-transport-http-1.5.2.jar
   • axis2-transport-local-1.5.2.jar
7. Log in to IBM WebSphere Administration Console.
8. Click Environment, and then click Shared Libraries.
   1. From the Scope drop-down, select a valid visibility scope. The scope must include the target server/node on which the application is deployed.
   2. Click New.
   3. Enter the Name, for example, ArcotAdminSharedLibrary.
   4. Specify the Classpath. Enter the path and file name for all the JAR files that are extracted in Step 3.

      For example, /opt/arcot_temp/WEB_INF/lib/axiom-api-1.2.10.jar

   5. Click Apply to save the changes.
9. Navigate to the following location where CA Advanced Authentication WAR file is located:

   <install_location>/arcot/java/webapps
   

10. Deploy arcotadmin.war in the application server.
11. Configure shared library, as follows:
    1. Click Applications, Application Types, WebSphere Enterprise Applications.
    2. Click arcotadmin_war.
    3. In the References section, click Shared library references.
