Overview

The recommended method for configuring WebSphere Portal is to use the IBM Web Administration for iSeries tool, which includes a WebSphere Portal configuration wizard that automatically detects system information, suggests commonly used values, and presents information in step-by-step graphical format.

The portal configuration wizard helps you create a production-level portal environment by walking you through the following:

  1. HTTP server creation and configuration
  2. Creation of a new WAS instance
  3. Portal configuration (includes adding WebSphere Portal to the WAS instance)
  4. DB2 database configuration
  5. Portlet deployment
  6. LDAP
  7. Configuration of Lotus Collaborative Components

The wizard is designed to handle a range of common WebSphere Portal configurations, but not all possible configurations. However, you can always adjust the configuration after using IBM Web Administration for iSeries by manually running WebSphere Portal configuration tasks.

The wizard can be started by clicking Create a New WebSphere Portal from the main IBM Web Administration for iSeries page.
