Linux or AIX: Installing the portal server
Complete the procedures in this section to install and configure the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and portal client on a Linux or AIX computer.
Important: Run these installation and configuration procedures as either the root user or as the DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows administrator. If you are configuring the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server using the DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows administrator ID, then:
- The configuration ID must be the same as the ID used to install the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
- The configuration ID must be the same as the ID specified during the configuration dialog for the DB2 Admin ID.
- The configuration ID must have the proper DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows authority/rights to attach to the DB2 Instance Name specified during the configuration dialog.
- The ID specified during the configuration dialog for the DB2 User ID must be an already existing ID. You may not allow the configuration dialog to attempt to create the user. For the GUI dialog, ensure that the check box for Create the user is cleared. For the CLI dialog, ensure that the response for Create New User is NO. After you have installed and configured the portal server, you can use a different user to run the portal server, as long as that user has access to the binaries used by the portal server.
Security policies for newly created users usually auto-expire the password after the first use and require the user to set a new password as part of the initial logon process. Until this is done, the installer always fails because the user password is expired and must be reset. Before running the installer, the user must invoke a process like ssh or telnet to log onto the target user ID and set the password appropriately.
