IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3

Starting the TEPS/e administration console

Use the TEPS/e administration console to configure an LDAP server with a type of Other, to configure SSL between the portal server and other applications such as the LDAP server, and to verify your LDAP configuration.

Before you begin

The TEPS/e administration console is disabled by default for security reasons and to save system resources. The Tivoli® Enterprise Portal Server must be running before you enable the console.

About this task

Take these steps to enable and then start the TEPS/e administration console:

Procedure

  1. Enable the TEPS/e administration console:
    • Windows In the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services window, highlight Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and select Advanced → TEPS/e Administration → Enable TEPS/e Administration.
    • LinuxOperating systems such as UNIX From the command line, change to the scripts directory (Intel Linux: ITM_dir/li6263/iw/scripts; zLinux:ITM_dir/ls3266/iw/scripts; AIX®:ITM_dir/aix533/iw/scripts) and enter the following command, where true starts the console and false stops the console:
      ./enableISCLite.sh {true/false}
    The TEPS/e administration console is now enabled for logon and will remain enabled until the portal server is stopped.
  2. If this is the first time you are enabling the console, you must set the administration password:
    • Windows In theManage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services window, highlight Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and select Advanced → TEPS/e Administration → TEPS/e Administration Password.
    • LinuxOperating systems such as UNIX From the scripts directory, enter the following command, where <username> is wasadmin, and <password> is the new password:
      updateTEPSEPass.sh <username> <password>
      Subsequently, entering a TEPS/e administration password resets the password.
  3. Enter the following URL in your Internet Explorer or Firefox browser: http://localhost:15205/ibm/console or https://localhost:15206/ibm/console
  4. Log on to the console using wasadmin for the user ID and the password you entered as the TEPS/e administration password.

Results

The Integrated Solutions Console (TEPS/e administration console) window is opened. Even after you log out of the administration console, it remains enabled until the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server is stopped. You must manually restart the TEPS/e administration console through the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services after each portal server restart.

What to do next

You can now configure an external LDAP server connection, SSL, or verify the configuration.

If the TEPS/e administration console is running when the portal server is recycled, you must log out and enable the console again to resynchronize with the portal server.
