Installing and Configuring LiveCycle Security Products for JBoss

 Configuring LiveCycle Policy Server run-time properties     27

➤

1. In a web browser, navigate to http://hostname:port/edc/Main.do and log in as the Super Administrator.

Where port is the port number that the application server uses (the default value is 8080), and 
hostname is the name of the computer that hosts the application server.

2. Complete the tasks in the table below. For detailed information on completing each task, see 

LiveCycle Policy Server Help.

Change the default administrator 
account password 

Use the Administration configuration page in the web application to 
change the default administrator login password. 

Configure client and server 
configuration settings

Set up client and server configuration properties, including a base 
LiveCycle Policy Server URL and anonymous user access properties.

Configure default settings for 
offline document security

Set the offline leasing period and specify a key rollover schedule.

Configure authentication 
providers

Create a domain for your directory servers to set up user 
authentication.

For JBoss deployments, the JAAS application name must be the 
name of the application policy you defined in the login-config.xml 
file. The directory properties you specify must match those in the 
login-config.xml file. (See 

.)

To add Kerberos authentication, you must have Microsoft Active 
Directory 2000 or 2003 controlling a domain where both the end 
user and the end user’s computer are in the domain. (See 

.)

Synchronize directories

Perform a directory synchronization to pull user accounts from the 
directory servers to the LiveCycle Policy Server database for 
authentication purposes.

Configure external user 
registration

Enable external user registration. This includes external user 
registration email, outgoing (SMTP) server information, users and 
groups to include or exclude, and external user access properties.

Add administration accounts

(Optional) Add more administration accounts for additional users 
who will be administering LiveCycle Policy Server on a continuing 
basis. 

Back up the 
LiveCycle Policy Server 
configuration 

(Optional) Export the LiveCycle Policy Server configuration settings 
to a file to back up your configuration. If required, you can import the 
settings back into LiveCycle Policy Server to restore the 
configuration.
