Deployment on WebSphere AS v8.5.5

This procedure describes how to deploy LN UI on IBM WebSphere AS v8.5.5.

Before you begin the deployment of LN UI, consult the IBM WebSphere AS v8.5.5 documentation and ensure that these prerequisites are met:

  • An HTTP Server must be up and running, for example IBM HTTP Server or IIS.
  • IBM WebSphere AS v8.5.5 must be up and running.
  • The HTTP Server must be able to connect to the IBM WebSphere installation (plug-in setup).

You can use the following procedure to perform these actions:

  • Deploy LN UI for the first time (first installation).
  • Deploy a new LN UI version in an existing environment (LN UI upgrade).

When completing a first installation, proceed with the tasks starting at the Creating an environment for LN connection (Single Sign On) chapter.

To ensure that the Java Heap size for the used application server is large enough:

  1. Start the IBM WebSphere Administrative Console.
  2. Select Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > <your server> > Server Infrastructure > Java and Process Management > Process definition.
  3. On the Process definition Configuration page, under Additional Properties, click Java Virtual Machine.
  4. On the Java Virtual Machine Configuration tab, ensure that the values in the Initial Heap size and Maximum Heap size fields are at least 1024.
    If you changed the values, complete the following steps.
  5. At the bottom of the page, click Apply and OK.
  6. On the next page, click Save directly to the master configuration.
  7. Restart the WebSphere server.
    Note: WebSphere does not always provide feedback when it is processing changes. Wait until the restart is finished.
