Placement of Static Portal Content

Place your static portal content in the

web-container-install-root

/SUNWam/public_html

directory or in a subdirectory under the

web-container-install-root

/SUNWam/public_html

directory (the document root for the

web container). Do not place your content in the

web-container-install-root

/SUNWps/web-apps/https-

server

/portal/

directory, as this

is a private directory. Any content here is subject to deletion when the Portal Server
web application is redeployed during a patch or other update.

Integration Design

This section provides information on integration areas that you need to account for
in your low-level design.

Creating a Custom Access Manager Service

Service Management in Access Manager provides a mechanism for you to define,
integrate, and manage groups of attributes as an Access Manager service. Readying
a service for management involves:

1.

Creating an XML service file

2.

Configuring an LDIF file with any new object classes and importing both the
XML service file and the new LDIF schema into Directory Service

3.

Registering multiple services to organizations or sub-organizations using the
Access Manager administration console

4.

Managing and customizing the attributes (once registered) on a per
organization basis

See the Access Manager documentation for more information.
