Configuring a Java application into the secure domain

Java applications that use Verify Identity Access security must be configured into a Verify Identity Access secure domain.

Verify Identity Access provides a utility class called com.tivoli.pd.jcfg.SvrSslCfg that can be used to accomplish the necessary configuration and unconfiguration tasks.

This section describes configuration and unconfiguration tasks, and provides example command-line syntax for each task.

The examples in this chapter use the values shown in Table 1:

Table 1. Sample information used for SvrSslCfg examples
Information Value
Administrator user ID sec_master
Administrator password secpw
Policy server, TCP/IP communications port number, and rank (default port is 7135) ampolicy.myco.com:7135:1

This entry can also be used to specify a policy server proxy. The location, port, and rank of the policy server proxy must be specified. The default port for a proxy is 7138.

Authorization server, TCP/IP communications port number, and rank (default port is 7136) amazn.myco.com:7136:1
Host name of Java application system jsys.myco.com
TCP/IP port on which the application server listens for communications from the policy server 999
Application server password pw
Verify Identity Access application ID PDPermissionjapp

The application ID must be unique. Other instances of the application running on this or other systems must each be given a unique ID.

Configuration file

(Windows example)

c:\am\config_file.conf
Note: SvrSslCfg creates the configuration file when called with –action config. When SvrSslCfg is called with other options (for example, –action addsvr), the configuration file is expected to exist.
Keystore file

(Windows example)

c:\am\keystore_file.ks
Note: SvrSslCfg creates this keystore file when called with –action config. When SvrSslCfg is called with other options (for example, –action addsvr), the keystore file is expected to exist.

A detailed command reference for the –action config class can be found in com.tivoli.pd.jcfg.SvrSslCfg.
