Configuring the authentication broker on node sys5
To configure the authentication broker on node sys5
- Extract the embedded authentication files and copy them to temporary directory:
# mkdir -p /var/VRTSvcs/vcsauth/bkup
# cd /tmp; gunzip -c /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/VxAT.tar.gz | tar xvf -
- Edit the setup file manually:
# cat /etc/vx/.uuids/clusuuid 2>&1
The output is a string denoting the UUID. This UUID (without { and }) is used as the ClusterName for the setup file.
{UUID}
# cat /tmp/eat_setup 2>&1
The file content must resemble the following example:
AcceptorMode=IP_ONLY
BrokerExeName=vcsauthserver
ClusterName=UUID
DataDir=/var/VRTSvcs/vcsauth/data/VCSAUTHSERVER
DestDir=/opt/VRTSvcs/bin/vcsauth/vcsauthserver
FipsMode=0
IPPort=14149
RootBrokerName=vcsroot_uuid
SetToRBPlusABorNot=0
SetupPDRs=1
SourceDir=/tmp/VxAT/version
- Set up the embedded authentication file:
# cd /tmp/VxAT/version/bin/edition_number; \ ./broker_setup.sh/tmp/eat_setup
# /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/vcsauth/vcsauthserver/bin/vssregctl -s -f /var/VRTSvcs/vcsauth/data/VCSAUTHSERVER/root/.VRTSat/profile \ /VRTSatlocal.conf -b 'Security\Authentication \ \Authentication Broker' -k UpdatedDebugLogFileName \ -v /var/VRTSvcs/log/vcsauthserver.log -t string
- Copy the broker credentials from one node in the cluster to sys5 by copying the entire
bkup
directory.The
bkup
directory content resembles the following example:# cd /var/VRTSvcs/vcsauth/bkup/
# ls
CMDSERVER HAD VCS_SERVICES WAC
- Import the VCS_SERVICES domain.
# /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/vcsauth/vcsauthserver/bin/atutil import -z \ /var/VRTSvcs/vcsauth/data/VCSAUTHSERVER -f /var/VRTSvcs/vcsauth/bkup \ /VCS_SERVICES -p password
- Import the credentials for HAD, CMDSERVER, and WAC.
# /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/vcsauth/vcsauthserver/bin/atutil import -z \ /var/VRTSvcs/vcsauth/data/VCS_SERVICES -f /var/VRTSvcs/vcsauth/bkup \ /HAD -p password
- Start the vcsauthserver process on sys5.
# /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/vcsauth/vcsauthserver/bin/vcsauthserver.sh
- Perform the following tasks:
# mkdir /var/VRTSvcs/vcsauth/data/CLIENT
# mkdir /var/VRTSvcs/vcsauth/data/TRUST
# export EAT_DATA_DIR='/var/VRTSvcs/vcsauth/data/TRUST'
# /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/vcsauth/vcsauthserver/bin/vssat setuptrust -b \ localhost:14149 -s high
- Create the
/etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/.secure
file:# touch /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/.secure
