Configuring Connections to the Directory

To configure a connection between the Web application and the directory that contains the configuration for the enterprise service portal:

1. Access the temporary folder to which you copied the WAR file.

   cd tempWar

2. Extract the boot.props file from the WAR file.

   jar xvf <filename> WEB-INF/boot.props

   <filename>—Name of the WAR file; for example, entmgr.war

3. Edit the boot.props file with any text editor.

   See Initialization Properties for Enterprise Service Portals.

4. Replace the boot.props file in the WAR file.

   jar uvf <filename> WEB-INF/boot.props
