Create a deployment manager
When you set up a cluster, we must create a deployment manager profile. Use the Configuration Wizard to set up the profile.
Configuration Wizard
The Create a Deployment Manager is a sub step in the Set Up a Cluster configuration.
Create a deployment manager
We can create the new deployment manager profile on the same server as portal or on a remote server.
If the deployment manager is on a different server than the portal, the create deployment manager profile process has one manual step. Based on the information that you provide in the wizard, the wizard creates custom instructions for the manual step.
Each potential step in the configuration is included.

What to do next
If we changed the context root during the installation or configuration of HCL WebSphere Portal, then complete the following steps:
- Log on to the Deployment Manager WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console.
- Go to Security > Global security > Trust association > Interceptors > com.ibm.portal.auth.tai.HTTPBasicAuthTAI.
- Edit the urlBlackList and urlWhitelist parameters with the new context path; for example:
- urlBlacklist: /wpsmodified/myportal*
- urlWhiteList: /wpsmodified/mycontenthandler*
- Click Apply, and save all changes.
- Log out of the Deployment Manager WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console.
Next, use the Create a Cluster option to create a static or dynamic cluster.
