Planning
a
server
instance
configuration
To
configure
a
WebSEAL
instance,
you
must
decide
how
to
deploy
the
server
for
your
environment,
and
you
must
collect
some
information
about
the
Tivoli
Access
Manager
deployment.
Unless
stated
otherwise,
each
of
the
following
settings
is
required.
v
Administrative
user
ID
and
password
This
is
the
Tivoli
Access
Manager
administrative
user.
By
default,
this
is
the
sec_master
user.
You
must
have
administrative
user
permissions
to
configure
a
WebSEAL
server
instance
v
Host
name
The
name
by
which
the
system
is
known
on
the
network.
Typically
this
is
expressed
as
a
fully
qualified
domain
name.
During
interactive
installations,
you
can
alternatively
provide
just
the
system
name.
Fully
qualified
domain
name:
diamond.subnet2.ibm.com
System
name:
diamond
v
Instance
name
A
unique
name
that
identifies
the
WebSEAL
server.
Multiple
WebSEAL
servers
can
be
installed
on
one
computer
system.
Each
must
have
a
unique
name.
Names
can
consist
of
alphanumeric
characters
([A-Z][a-z][0–9])
plus
the
following
characters:
underscore
(
_
),
hyphen
(
-
),
and
period
(
.
).
No
other
characters
are
valid.
Names
must
not
exceed
20
characters
in
length.
Example
names:
web1,
web2,
web_3,
web-4,
web.5
The
initial
WebSEAL
server,
which
is
configured
during
installation
and
configuration
of
WebSEAL,
is
assigned
by
default
an
instance
name
of
default.
However,
this
name
could
have
been
modified
by
the
administrator
during
initial
installation
and
configuration.
The
choice
of
instance
name
will
be
viewable
after
configuration.
For
example,
the
file
name
for
the
configuration
file
for
the
WebSEAL
server
instance
is
created
as
follows:
webseald-instance_name.conf
