open source and Data Management packs side by side

Team,
We already hosted a portal based on open source views and repository around in eadashboard.xyz.com
for the purchased Data Management pack, can this be hosted in the same url but it refers to a different tomcat web folder? (different web application)
both need to use the same authentication mechanism (LDAP realm)
any pointers will be helpful
thanks
Rajaraman

Hi Rajaraman,
The Data Management pack views are designed to extend an existing Viewer application rather than function as a standalone application. Maybe if you could describe your motivation/requirements in a bit more detail, we could advise on the best approach but let me give you a few things to get started.
If you're applying security to Tomcat then you can do this for all webapps so they share the same authentication mechanism. There's nothing Essential specific here. Just take a look at the Tomcat documentation on configuring this.
With regards to the URLs, in your webapps folder, you could have two applications
- essential_viewer
essential_data_mgmt
You could then set your DNS settings to have
eadashboard.xyz.com point to
essential_viewer and have
datadashboard.xyz.com point to
essential_data_mgmt
Alternatively, you could setup a simple Nginx proxy server on the same machine to route the traffic and have that route
eadashboard.xyz.com/ea/ to
essential_viewer and
eadashboard.xyz.com/data/ to
essential_data_mgmt
When you Publish from Protege, you would need to make sure you published to each application in order to ensure they both had the latest data set or you could publish different data sets to each application if that's your motivation.
Let me know if you need any further information
