If IBM® Content
Navigator and Content Engine are not deployed to the
same cell in WebSphere® Application
Server,
you must set up Lightweight Third Party Authentication (LTPA) security
between the applications in WebSphere Application
Server.
Before you begin
This task assumes that you have configured LTPA on the
Content Engine server and generated an
LTPA key from the
Content Engine server.
About this task
Restriction: You do not need to complete this
task if:
- You are not going to connect to IBM FileNet® Content Manager repositories
- You are deploying IBM Content
Navigator and Content Engine to the same WebSphere Application
Server cell
The LTPA key settings for the
Content Engine application must match
the settings for
IBM Content
Navigator.
Before you can configure and deploy
IBM Content
Navigator, you must:
- Configure LTPA on the Content Engine application
server, if it is not already configured
- Generate the LTPA key on the Content Engine application
server, if it is not already generated
- Export the LTPA key from the Content Engine server
- Copy the LTPA key file to the IBM Content
Navigator server
The IBM Content
Navigator Configuration
and Deployment Tool uses the LTPA key file to configure LTPA for the IBM Content
Navigator application.
Procedure
To export and copy the Content Engine LTPA key:
- On the Content Engine server,
log in to the WebSphere Application
Server administrative
console.
- Click .
- From the right pane, select LTPA.
- In the Cross-cell single sign-on field,
type the LTPA password.
- In the Key File Name field, enter
the fully qualified path of the directory where you want to export
the key file to. For example, enter /opt/LTPA/ltpa_key_name or C:\LTPA\ltpa_key_name
- Click Export keys. Verify that a
message like the following message is displayed:
The keys were successfully exported to the file ltpa_key_name
- Click OK and save your changes to the master configuration.
- Copy the key file from the Content Engine server location that you
specified to a directory on the IBM Content
Navigator server. For example,
copy the /opt/LTPA/ltpa_key_name key file.
