Hi,
Does anyone know how to configure SSL for Open Portal for authentication
without
the need to have two instances of Portal server?
Is there a better way to configure SSL for Open Portal Authentication only
without
configure all the portal site with SSL?
Thanks for any help.

To configure SSL in Open Portal manually, follow the steps below...
1) Get a certificate from the cerficate authorities and install in the iPlanet Web server
(You can get the information installing certificate in the Server Component from
portal server installation guide.)
2) Start the Portal Server using
# /opt/SUNWips/bin/ipsserver start.
3) Goto: Server Management > Manage Server Profile > Platform Server List and
change the protocol for URL from http to https. Select Submit and continue to update the profile.
4)GoTo: Server Management > Manage Naming Profile and
Change the protocol from http to https in the "Profile URL", "Logging URL" and submit .
5) Go to /etc/opt/SUNWips directory and edit the following.
ips.server.protocol=https
ips.naming.url=https
ips.notification.url=https
6) Go To :/opt/netscape/server4/https-siroe/config/magnus.conf
and enable security option to " on" .
Stop and Re-start the Portal Server.
Thanks,
