How to Register the Administrative UI
You are required to register the Administrative UI before it can be used to manage SOA Security Manager objects. Registering the Administrative UI creates a trusted connection between the Administrative UI and a Policy Server. Consider the following:
- (UNIX) You are required to start the application server manually and log in to the Administrative UI to complete the registration.
- (Windows) The SOA Security Manager Administrative UI login screen appears and the application server starts automatically after installing the Administrative UI to Windows. These actions let you register the Administrative UI immediately. If you did not register the Administrative UI immediately after installing it, complete the following process.
This process explains how to register an Administrative UI that you installed using the prerequisite installer. If you installed the Administrative UI to an existing application server environment, see the respective process in Installing the Administrative UI to an Existing Application Server.
To register the Administrative UI, complete the following procedures:
- If the environment meets both of the following criteria, create the FIPs environment variable:
- The Policy Server to which you are registering is operating in FIPs–only mode.
- The Administrative UI is not installed on the Policy Server host system.
- Start the application server.
- Register the Administrative UI.
