Moab Access Portal

1.1 Installation Prerequisites

Before a successful installation, the Moab Access Portal® requires:
  • A Java 1.4 compatiable JVM (Java Virtual Machine) installed and properly configured. You can check the version of your JVM by running "java --version" at a command line.

    (Popular and freely available JVMs include Sun's JDK/SDK, IBM's JDK, and Blackdown's JDK.)
  • A working JSP/servlet container that is compatible with at least the Servlet 2.2 and JSP 1.1 specifications and uses a Java 1.4 compliant SDK.

  • NOTE: Recommended containers include Tomcat, Jetty, WebSphere 5.1, BEA WebLogic, etc. Most of these containers can be integrated or run parallel with existing web server software (such as Apache).
  • A running version of the Moab Workload Manager® (4.2.0 or higher) running on the cluster head node(s).

  • That Workload Manager's configuration allow all non-privileged users to have ADMIN4 access rights. To do this place ADMIN4 ALL in the moab.cfg file and restart Workload Manager.

  • That the cluster head node must have SSH properly installed and configured along with users setup to use Workload Manager (the users

  • must have a correct environment and permissions to ensure they can access and execute all the Workload Manager client commands: showq, mjobctl, mrsvctl, etc.).
  • That modern browers (cookie support, stylesheets, and JavaScript) be used by end-users that wish to access the portal.
