Cepter comes is provided pre-configured in the default installation with the developer portal - no additional installation is needed.

Installation

The developer portal is located in the standard Ceptor (portalprotect) home directory under the folder pp/ ppserver/developerportal. This folder contains everything needed (except for the pp/lib folder) to run the web application.

The web application is part of the standard distribution.

Starting

...

Developer Portal

The developer portal is started using a Ceptor launcher. In the default installation it comes with its own launcher file pp/config/ppceptor_launch_developerportal.xml which can either be used to start up the developer portal by it self on its own server or the launch configuration can be copied into the pp/in config/ppceptor_launch.xml and it can be started  can be used so the developer portal starts with the rest of Ceptor.

The standard launcher that comes with the Ceptor distribution is as such:

Code Block

                    />
            </service>
        </classloader>
	</jvm>
</portalprotectlauncher>

...

As written above it can be merged with other launchers or started as stand alonestandalone. This is up to the individual environment setup and deployment.

Note

The default ceptor_launch.xml launcher configuration file starts the API Developer Portal on the context path /apideveloperportal - this matches the default Ceptor Gateway configuration, which forwards all calls to /apideveloperportal to the API Developer Portal server running on port 4843.


Configuration

The developer portal requires only a few lines of configuration in the portalprotectceptor-configuration.xml in order to start up. The standard distribution comes pre-configured and can be changes as needed. Details for all configuration can be found in the configuration reference.

...

Other than that - the developer portal is a stand alone standalone application that can run directly as is or be installed behind a gateway for example. If the Gateway logs the user in - the frontpage front page of the developer portal will not be shown, as the gateway will handle login and deliver an authenticated session to the developer portal. 

Elasticsearch configuration for the developer portal will allow the developer portal to show API Usage information from elastic search for individual API Partner applications. The default installation has this configuration enabled.
