Stand-alone server topology
The stand-alone scenario is different from the single-server since the database server, LDAP server, and Web server software are installed on different physical servers than the WebSphere Portal. This configuration enables you to distribute the software in network and therefore distribute the processing load.
For a stand-alone configuration, you can use an existing, supported database in network and an existing, supported LDAP directory. You can configure IBM WebSphere Portal to authenticate with the LDAP server. The following illustration displays a common topology for a stand-alone server. The HTTP server, (also referred to as Web server) is installed on a server in a protected network. The LDAP server and database server are also installed on different servers. WebSphere Portal and WAS are installed on the same server.
