FileNet P8 Application Engine, Version 5.0.+       Application server:  WebLogic Application Server     

Enabling communication between Content Engine and Application Engine (WebLogic Server)

To enable communication between Application Engine and Content Engine, you must configure settings on the WebLogic Server.

To configure Application Engine:

  1. (If you selected Container-Managed Authentication during the installation) Enable trust between WebLogic domains for the Content Engine domain and the Application Engine domain.

    Do the following on both the Content Engine application server and the Application Engine application server.

    1. In the WebLogic Administration Console, in the security settings, enter a password for the domain. You must enter the same password for both the Content Engine domain and Application Engine domain.
    2. Save your changes.
    3. Restart the server if needed.
    4. Repeat this procedure in each domain for which you want to enable trust.
  2. (If you selected Container-Managed Authentication during the installation) Configure LDAP settings on Application Engine to exactly match the Content Engine settings.
    1. See your Content Engine installation worksheet items and the Administration Console settings for Compatibility Security > Realms for Authentication Provider, users, and groups on Content Engine.
      Configure the LDAP provider to exactly match the settings from the Content Engine server:
      • Group Base DN
      • User Name Attribute
      • Port
      • User Base DN
      • Principal
      • Credential
      • Confirm Credential
      • Host
      • User From Name Filter
      • Group From Name Filter
    2. Restart WebLogic.
  3. Set permissions for the user running the application server.

    If the user that will be running the application server is different from the user that installed Application Engine, you must give the user read/write permissions on the folder where you installed Application Engine (AE_install_path).
