Run the Configuration Wizard Using a GUI or Console Window

The Policy Server Configuration Wizard lets you configure the following:

• The OneView Monitor GUI
• The Policy Server User Interface
• The netegrity_docs virtual directory on a web server
• SNMP support
• A policy store

The wizards gives you the option of using either a GUI or a console window.

When configuring a policy store, the wizard can automatically configure Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition (formerly Sun ONE/iPlanet), ADAM, or AD LDS as a policy store. If another supported LDAP directory server or relational database is to function as the policy store, you configure the policy store manually.

Note: For more information about configuring other LDAP versions, see LDAP Directory Servers as a Policy Store or Key Store.

Note: The Policy Server Configuration Wizard requires 150 MB of free space in /tmp.

To run the configuration wizard

1. Close all programs.

   Be sure that you run the wizard as the UNIX user that has sufficient privileges to modify the web server configuration files. The wizard modifies these files to configure the Policy Server User Interface.

2. Start the Policy Server Configuration Wizard by running one of the following commands:

   (GUI Mode)

   sh ./nete-ps-config.bin
   

   (Console Mode)

   sh ./nete-ps-config.bin -i console
   

   Setup verifies the following prerequisites:

   • You are logged into an account with local administrator privileges.
   • You have the appropriate Policy Server environment variables set. The system has the required/recommended patches installed.

   If you get a "Required variables not found" error, run the following script using a ksh shell from the SiteMinder installation directory, and then rerun the wizard:

   . ./nete_ps_env.ksh
   

   Note: Be sure that there is a space between the two periods (. .) when running the script.

3. In the Choose Features section:
   • For the GUI mode, select which Policy Server features you want. The OneView Monitor GUI, Web Server(s), and Policy Store are selected by default.
   • For the console mode, enter the numbers (separated by commas) of the Policy Server features you want. The OneView Monitor GUI, Web Server(s), and Policy Store are selected by default. To select none of the features, enter a "," (comma).

   OneView Monitor GUI

   The install program configures the OneView Monitor GUI to work on the web server you specify later in this procedure.

   Note: To use the OneView Monitor, you require a supported Java SDK and ServletExec AS for UNIX/Sun Java System. For the required versions, search for the SiteMinder Platform Matrix for 6.0 on the Technical Support site.

   Web Server(s)

   The install program configures the Policy Server User Interface and, if specified, the OneView Monitor to work on this web server.

   SNMP

   The install program configures SNMP to work with the Policy Server.

   Note: The root user password and a native SunSolstice Master Agent are required to enable SNMP support.

   Policy Store

   The install program configures an LDAP directory server as a policy store.

4. (Optional) If you are configuring the OneView Monitor:
   1. Enter the ServletExec installation directory.

      Example: /usr/local/NewAtlanta/ServletExecAS

   2. Enter the port number for the ServletExec instance.
   3. (Optional) If you have multiple ServletExec instances, select the se–hostname–server to configure with the OneView Monitor GUI and press Enter.
5. Enter the path to the root folder of a supported web server.
6. Specify the web server you want to configure with the Policy Server.

   Note: Consider the following:

   • Be sure that the web server instance is stopped.
   • If you have multiple web servers, only select one. We recommend configuring one web server at a time. Use the Policy Server Configuration Wizard to configure additional web servers after installing the Policy Server. See Configure Additional Web Server Instances for the Policy Server for more information.
   • If you are installing the Policy Server before the documentation, you are prompted to run the Policy Server Configuration Wizard to create the netegrity_docs virtual directory on the web server. This virtual directory lets you view the documentation using the Policy Server User Interface.
7. (GUI mode only) For the first policy store prompt, select whether you want to configure a new policy store or update an existing one.
8. At the next policy store prompt, configure your policy store using either the GUI or console window.
