In order for the tooling to access the development Linux
on Power system, a server side application must be installed.
Procedure
- Confirm that your system meets the software requirements
described in the section Software requirements.
- Confirm that your Linux user ID has root access.
- With the product image there is a AIX/Linux Server runtime
image. In that image, there is a directory called PowerLinuxServerRuntime.
Copy the files from the directory to the target Linux system.
- Install the files using a user ID that has root access
on the target Linux server using the "rpm" Linux utility commands.
For example: "rpm -ivh *.rpm".
- By default a daemon will start to run at port 8050. This
port is used by the tooling to communicate with the Linux system.
To configure a different port, you can edit the $port variable of
the /opt/IBM/RDAIXLinux/9.1/rse/daemon.pl script.
- To restart the daemon, an administrator will need to first
kill the daemon and then restart it via the "telinit q" command.
- To make the connection secure using SSL, the server needs
to be configured as follows:
- You need to use keytool (provided by the java SDK) to
generate a key pair (public and associated private key). The following
command can be used to do this, given an aliasname, keystorename and
a password: "keytool -genkey -alias <aliasname>
-validity 3650 -keystore <keystorename> -storepass <password>
-keypass <password>"
- After using keytool to generate a keystore, you need
to edit the ssl.properties file in the /opt/IBM/RDAIXLinux/9.1/rse
directory.
