3.8 Install and Conﬁgure Java and hpssadm

Thehpssadm utility and the modiﬁcations to the SSM Data Server necessary to support hpssadm

require the installation and conﬁguration of Java 1.3.0 and the Java Secure Sockets Extension. The

defaultprebuilt Data Server executable and shared library require Java. If the hpssadm utility is not

used,these can be replaced with the no-Java prebuilt versions of these ﬁles, which are also shipped

with HPSS. See Section 3.8.1.2:Using the No-Java Version of the Data Server on page 179 for more

information on how to use the no-Java version.

Section 3.8.1.1:Up and Running: Quick Conﬁguration on page 175 provides a quick conﬁguration

cookbook. If you use all the default values, you should be able to conﬁgure your system for the

Java SSM using only these instructions. For more detailed information on the conﬁguration

procedure, see the remainder of Section 3.8.

Thisis a quick procedure for conﬁguring Java and HPSS to support hpssadm, the Command Line

SSM. For more detailed information on the conﬁguration procedure, see the remainder of Section

3.8.

Theseexamples assume that SSMDS and hpssadm will be executed on different machines, referred

to here as the "SSMDS machine" and the "hpssadm machine". If SSMDS andhpssadm will be

executed on the same machine, perform each step on that machine except where otherwise noted.

Theseprocedures should be executed as root. Some of them require the DCE cell_admin password.

These procedures assign the same password, referenced as<cacerts_password>, to the trusted

storeﬁle on all machines. They assign a unique password, referenced as <ds_keystore_password>,

to the SSMDS keystore ﬁle.

Wheneverthe keytool utility prompts for a password, remember that it will echo the password you

type in plain text.

ForAIX, the environment variable JAVA_HOMEshould be /usr/java130/jre. For Solaris, it should

be/usr/j2se/jre.

1. On the SSMDS and eachhpssadm machine:

A. Install Java 1.3.0 and JSSE 1.0.2.

B. Reset password for the Certiﬁcate Trusted Store (cacerts ﬁle)

Thispassword is delivered as "changeit". Verifythat this is the password by using it to

access and read the trusted store, and then change the password to the desired value,

referenced here as<cacerts_password>:

i. Work in Java security directory:

% cd $JAVA_HOME/lib/security
