IPlanet Portal Server admin page problem

the orginal value of "Default Client Type" is "generic HTML" and after i hv updated it as "WML", I cant reach the admin page again.. can anyone show me how to change it back to its orginal value?

Hi there,
You could try exporting the current iwtClient configuration from the command line ie. : "/opt/SUNWips/bin/ipsadmin get component iwtClient > iwtClient.xml" once exported edit the file iwtClient.xml and look for : <iwt:Att name="iwtClient-clientTypes" ..
find the <Val></Val> tags and put the following line into it : "clientType=genericHTML|contentType=text/html|genericHTML=true|cookieSupport=true|fileIdentifier=html|filePath=html"
Save the file and import it again with "/opt/SUNWips/bin/ipsadmin change component iwtClient iwtClient.xml" note this command uses no director "< or >" . Restart the portal server and try it again.
Hope this helps
Regards

Portal Server Admin Console login problem....

When I installed Sun Java Studio Enterprise 7 (trial edition) I also installed the server package (The second zip file). During the install I was only prompted to enter ID and password my Application server. But I do not know or have an ID and password for the portal server. When I launch the Portal Server Admin Console which is really the Access Manager's Admin console, it prompts me to enter my ID and password. The ID and password I have setup for the Application server does not work. Now my problem is, I cannot access the portal server on my machine. Does any one know how I can find out what my ID and password is? or how I can access the portal server?

How do I restrict access by domain and the rest of the world to the documents in the public_html folder in iPlanet Portal Server?

Hello,
We have multiple domains configured in our iPlanet Portal Server 3 demo environment. In addition we are using the gateway.
In one of these domains the userTemplate.html file is tailored to display Macromedia Flash components at dynamic positions on the page. The logical home for these Flash components (since the portal software cannot find them if we simply store them in iwtDesktop) is somewhere below the /opt/SUNWips/public_html directory.
The problem is that once the file is stored here I can access it if I know the url (http://server:8080/file_path) without being authenticated in the domain.
The allow/deny url policy settings are specific to a domain and seem to have no affect on the rest of the world.
Any advice you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Joel,
If your intent is to block access to the doc root, you can probably use access control lists (acl) to prevent anyone from accessing the files stored under public_html. You can get more information about how to create ACLs from the following URL
http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/41/ag/esaccess.htm#1005439
You can even set up Basic Authentication for access to the direcory or ip based access or any which way you want. I've personally never blocked access to the doc root in portal, so I am not sure what the impact will be.
Hope this helps!

Does the iplanet Portal server support other existing standalone Webservers/application Servers the likes of weblogic, websphere etc?

If so, will the session management aspect be looked after by the iPlanet Portal server?

The new version of Portal (6.0 I believe) will run on weblogic or websphere as well as iAS.

POP3 support with iPlanet portal server

Greetings,
We are looking to use a web client (NetMail lite) or thin client (NetMail
lite applet) with iPlanet Portal Server 6.0 sp3 out-of-the-box that will
support POP3. It appears that NetMail lite used to support POP3, but it
appears to only support IMAP now? Is this true?
We are not using iPlanet Messenger Server, we are integrating with existing
POP3 servers. Has anyone found an iPlanet client for this or used a third
party tool for this?

NetGenesis and iPlanet portal server

Hi Group,
Has anyone used NetGenesis (I believe NetAnalysis is the actual name of the
product) to track web traffic data? Have you used it for an iPlanet portal
server web site? Can you track a portal site the same way as you would
track a regular website?
Thanks in advance.
CJ

I think the servlet container in Portal is meant to be "black boxed" - ie
you shouldn't use it to run anything except Portal.
So stick with your tomcat, and you can integrate it using the normal
Portal APIs and Provider API.

Does anyone integrate siteminder with iPlanet Portal Server

I am trying to integrate iPlanet and Siteminder using the secure access pack. Has anyone successfully integrated the two?

yes,
we did basic integration where the authentication will be done using siteminder. The trick is to protect the portal server web server and not the gateway. You also need to add a new authentication module for siteminder in the portal using ipsadmin. We are protecting the login html page only. We couldn't protect the desktop because it's built using servlets.

Portal server on internet problems

Hi,
Scenario:
EP6 portal server visible on internet
Backend server not visible on internet
Accessing the Portal from internet as ADMINISTRATOR allows me to do anything I want. That's ok. No problem with this.
Thing is, I have some BSP's iviews on portal that call bsp's on backend server.
I cannot execute those views accessing portal from internet, PAGE NOT FOUND errors shows up.
But, it works ok when using portal within the intranet.
Tha thing is, we are not allowed to publish backend on internet.
Backend is WAS6.4 with integrated ITS.
Any idea how to fix this?, the point is to be able to run bsp's portal iviews when accessing portal from internet. I read a lot about this, but seems that ITS server must be published on internet. Is it any other option?
Thank you in advance
Regards.

After a successful install the Directory, AM servers are down. You will have to start them after the install.
Stop start the process below in the order:
Stop/Start Directory Server instance:
Stop/Start Webcontainer instance running AM Server and Portal Server
Restart Cacao /opt/SUNWcacao/bin/cacaoadm restart
If the above does not fix it, take a look at the /var/opt/SUNWportal/portals/portal1/logs/<portal-instance>/*.logs

Has anyone every try using the iplanet portal server radius authentication module with cryptoCard?

We are using the easyRadius server from CryptoCARD. When we run the radius server in debug mode, it appears ips is sending multiple access-request message. Also, the server is coming back with a challenge which we are not expecting.

yes,
we did basic integration where the authentication will be done using siteminder. The trick is to protect the portal server web server and not the gateway. You also need to add a new authentication module for siteminder in the portal using ipsadmin. We are protecting the login html page only. We couldn't protect the desktop because it's built using servlets.

Cannot access web integration server admin page

Hi guys,
1)After Installing 9iAS and setting up all the configurations needed to run the sample test page .jsp file from the web integration server i get the following error....YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO VIEW THIS PAGE.
2)What value to set for HTTP & HTTPS proxy under the URL-http://host_name.domain:5555 ?
3)I tried to change the port number of the HTTP LISTENER from inside the http://host_name.domain:5555 pressed OK.Now how to find the port number of he web integration server(previously it was http://host_name.domain:5555 but now the port number is changed without which i cannot login to the admin page of that server.)
Gimme a solution to these probs
Thanx in advance,

I am trying to access our Production Enterprise Manager for the 10g AS.
When I try to access it I am getting an error:
An error has occurred!
IOException in sending Request :: Connection refused: connect
So from the command line I check:
emctl status iasconsole and it says that
EM Daemon is not running.
So then I type: emctl start iasconsole and it says:
An instance of Oracle 10g Application Server control is already running
Do you wish to shut down first?
If I say no, the startup is aborted. If I say yes then:
The OracleOracle10gASProdASControl service is not started?
What the heck does that mean? The status shows the Daemon is not started, but when I try to start it, it says it is already running? Can anyone help?
Thank you,
Jeff

Does iPlanet portal server provide multi language support?

HI There,
You should be able to set up multiple languages based on the user locale. You can have different templates for each locale within your custom template dir. By convention the following is the order when the portal server checks for templates:
1.<dir>_<locale> (the localized, cust. directory first)
2.<dir> (non-localized, cust. directory)
3.default_<locale> (localized default directory)
4.default (default directory)
Each locale can obviously support a different language.
Hope this helps

Iplanet portal server look and feel limitations

does anyone know what's portal server look and feel limitations? Eg : what components that cannot be changed? Thanks a lot.:)

Actually, you have an almost clean slate. You need to have some sort of header (though I suppose it could be 1 pixel high...), and by turning off the channel frames, you can eliminate the portal feel altogether. Take a look at www.tntvacations.com to see a portal server. The only way you can tell it is portal is through the URL... behind the scenes, it is set up with the thin-thick-thin channel layout, with 8 channel providers. The header and secondary menu components that are part of the customized desktop servlet.
