Install IDOL Site Admin

Use the following procedure to install IDOL Site Admin.

To install IDOL Site Admin

  1. Download the IDOL Site Admin web application archive file.
  2. Move the .war file to your Tomcat webapps directory, then start Tomcat to deploy the file.
  3. Open your Web browser and go to http://ServerName:Port/siteadmin, where ServerName is the host name or IP address of the IDOL Site Admin host, and Port is the number of the port that Tomcat 7 is configured to listen on for HTTP requests. By default, the port number is 8080.

    A logon screen opens.

  4. Go to the IDOL Site Admin home directory as specified in the hp.idolsiteadmin.home Java system property, and open the IDOL Site Admin configuration file (config.json) in a text editor. See IDOL Site Admin Home Directory and Configure Tomcat for more information.
  5. Use the default user name and password in the login section of the configuration file to log on to the Web page that you opened in Step 4. For example:

    "login": {
        "defaultLogin": {
          "username": "the_username_you_want",
          "password": "the_password_to_enter"
        }
      } 

    Note: IDOL Site Admin prepopulates the login page with the default user name when you log on for the first time.

    The Settings screen opens.

  6. On the Settings screen, enter the connection details for the external requirements that are listed in Prerequisites. Click Test Connection for each section to check that IDOL Site Admin can connect to each server.

    Note: You can choose to connect to your Community component using http or https. If you choose https, you must configure Community to use SSL.

  7. After IDOL Site Admin connects to the Community component, you can no longer use the default administrator user name. You must click Users in the Settings menu to go to the User Management page and create user details in the Community component. See User Roles for more information.

    Note: If you do not take this step you must manually create users in the IDOL Community 10.9 back end. Refer to the IDOL Server Administration Guide for more information.

  8. Click Save Changes.
  9. Restart your Tomcat server (see Start and Stop IDOL Site Admin for more information).
  10. In your Web browser, go to http://ServerName:Port/siteadmin and log on with the user details that you created in Step 6.

    IDOL Site Admin is now installed and ready.

    Note: When you load IDOL Site Admin, your Web browser runs a series of test HTTP requests, and displays details of any errors to assist in fixing the issues.
