IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment

Configuration Steps for Your WebSphere Application Server

By default, SAS automatically configures your WebSphere Application Server. However, depending on your site, you might need to complete these additional steps.

Set File Security in UNIX Environments

The login.config file contains login module definitions for connecting to SAS Remote Services by using the SAS Metadata Server. Because this file contains connection information, you want to restrict access to this file. To restrict access to the owner of this file, type the following commands at the UNX prompt:
cd SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web
chmod go=Common/login.config

Enable WebSphere Admin Security

To use Web authentication, you must secure your WebSphere console (if you have not done so already). For more information, see Configuring IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0 for Web Authentication with SAS 9.3 Web Applications. This document is available from http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/v93/appservers/ConfiguringWAS7WebAuth.pdf.

Restore Customizations for Web Authentication

Here are the high-level steps that you must complete to restore any customizations for Web authentication.
  1. Modify the Logon Manager.
  2. Reinstall the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform applications EAR file.
  3. Copy SAS JAR files to the WebSphere installation.
  4. Set the CLASSPATH for the Remote Servers JVM.
  5. Restart Remote Services and the WebSphere Application Server.
  6. Log on to verify the Web authentication configuration.
For more information about each task, see the corresponding topics in Configuring IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0 for Web Authentication with SAS 9.3 Web Applications. This document is available from http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/v93/appservers/ConfiguringWAS7WebAuth.pdf.
