Connect to WebSphere Application Server

Table 1. Parameters required by the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool when you connect to your IBM WebSphere Application Server environment
Parameter	Description	Value
Application server version	The version of IBM WebSphere Application Server that you are deploying to.
Installation directory	The fully qualified path of the IBM WebSphere Application Server AppServer directory. On AIX®, the default installation directory is /usr/WebSphere/AppServer. On Linux, the default installation directory is /opt/WebSphere/AppServer. On Linux for System z®, the default installation directory is /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer. On Windows, the default installation directory is C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer.
Profile	The absolute path of an existing IBM WebSphere Application Server profile. This profile enables the configuration and deployment tool to use the application server client to connect to the instance of the web application server where you plan to deploy IBM Content Navigator. The default profile is AppSrv01. On AIX, the default directory is /usr/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01. On Linux, the default directory is /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01. On Linux for System z, the default directory is /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppSrv01. On Windows, the default directory is C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01.
Administrator user name	Important: IBM WebSphere Application Server administrative security must be enabled. The user name of an IBM WebSphere Application Server administrator.
Administrator password	The password for the specified administrator user name.
SOAP connector port	The SOAP connector port number of the web application server. For a stand-alone application server, the default value is 8880. For a managed server or cluster, the default value on the deployment manager is 8879.
Host name	The machine name or the IP address of the server where IBM WebSphere Application Server is installed. The server can be local or remote. For a managed server or cluster, use the host name of the deployment manager server.
Cell	The cell where you want to deploy IBM Content Navigator. You must specify an existing cell.
Deployment session timeout	The amount of time, in seconds, that the transaction with the web application server runs before the transaction times out. The default is 180 seconds. If you have a system that has minimal resources, you might want to increase the session timeout.
Use SSL certificates for the server communication	If SSL security for Configuring Common Secure Interoperability Version 2 (CSIV2) is configured on the web application server, you can enable SSL security for the IBM Content Navigator web application. Important: If you have SSL security for CSIV2 configured and you do not configure IBM Content Navigator for SSL, SSL security is disabled on the web application server. This means that server-to-server communications between the IBM Content Navigator web application and Content Engine or the IBM Content Manager resource manager are not secured. Specify whether this option applies to your environment.
