Placement of Static Portal Content

directory or in a subdirectory under the

/SUNWam/public_html
directory (the document root for the
web container). Do not place your content in the
web-container-install-root
/SUNWps/web-apps/https-
server

directory, as this
is a private directory. Any content here is subject to deletion when the Portal Server
web application is redeployed during a patch or other update.

a service for management involves:
1.

2.
Configuring an LDIF file with any new object classes and importing both the
XML service file and the new LDIF schema into Directory Service
3.
Registering multiple services to organizations or sub-organizations using the
Access Manager administration console

Managing and customizing the attributes (once registered) on a per
organization basis
See the Access Manager documentation for more information.
