Steps
To deploy Web Administration Tool, you must complete the installation of WebSphere® Application Server 9.0.5 (latest Fix Pack) on your computer. The Web Administration Tool provides a graphical user interface for configuring IBM® Security Directory Server.
Here is the procedure for installing WebSphere Application Server 9.0.5 (or later fix pack):
- Download necessary part for WebSphere Application Server 9.0.5.1 (Base) from Passport Advantage:
IBM WebSphere Application Server V9.0.5.1 Multiplatform Multilingual - Part Number: CC3NXML - File name: was.repo.90501.base.zip
- Download the following from Fix Central:
- IBM Installation Manager latest release from "Installation Manager and Packaging Utility download documents"
From "Download Tables" click "Download Document" for the latest release under "Installation Manager" column.
From the resulting page, scroll down to find the Fix Central links for different platforms.
For example, here are the files for Installation Manager 1.9.2.1 release:

- Create a new "Application Server" profile and deploy the IDSWebApp.war file
- Use deploy_IDSWebApp script or batch file provided by Directory Server V6.4.0.25 or later fix packs:
- Requires WebSphere Application Server and SDS V6.4 are installed on the same system.
- Also, the "Web Administration Tool" package/rpm/feature is already installed.
- Go into the <sds64_install_location>/idstools
Where <sds64_install_location> is as follows:
AIX: /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.4
Linux: /opt/ibm/ldap/V6.4
Windows default installation location: C:\Program Files\IBM\ldap\V6.4 - Run the deploy_IDSWebApp script or batch file:
AIX, Linux:
./deploy_IDSWebApp -p /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer
Windows:
.\deploy_IDSWebApp.bat -p "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer" - The deploy_IDSWebApp script or batch file, creates a profile named TDSWebAdminProfile and deploys IDSWebApp.war into the profile. The profile server is also started.
- Connect by using a web browser to URL such as: https://<hostname>:12101/IDSWebApp
- Manually create the "Application Server" profile and deploy the IDSWebApp.war file.
