(If applicable) Editing the portal server environment file

Communication between a hub monitoring server and the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server is encrypted. On the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, the Global Security Toolkit (GSKit) is used for encryption and decryption. On z/OS, GSKit is known as the Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility (ICSF). Because both components must use the same schema, if the hub system does not use ICSF, the portal server must be configured to use a less secure schema, EGG1.

About this task

You configure the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server to use the EGG1 scheme by editing the environment file (kfwenv).

Procedure

  1. On the Windows® or Linux® system where you have installed the portal server, launch the Manage Tivoli® Monitoring Services application.
  2. In the application window, right-click Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, and select Advanced> Edit ENV File.

    The environment file kfwenv is opened in a text editor.

  3. Add the following line to the end of the file, and then save the file and close the editor.
    USE_EGG1_FLAG=1
    (or USE_EGG1_FLAG=Y)
  4. Restart the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
