33. Using Cl@ve (I). First steps

0. Introduction

Any mention to "ximo", should be replaced by an existing user name

1. Install Apache Tomcat 8.5.xx

2. Download the course and demo zip file

3. Copy the Keystore and configuration

4. Copy required libraries to Tomcat form the kit folder

5.

1. Install Apache Tomcat 8.5.xx

1. Download Apache Tomcat 8.5.xx (for instance in the folder /home/ximo/MyPrograms)

2. Unzip it (for instance you get /home/ximo/MyPrograms/apache-tomcat-8.5.73 folder)

3. Open the file:

/home/ximo/MyPrograms/apache-tomcat-8.5.73/conf/tomcat-users.xml

And add the following line just before </tomcat-users>

<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="manager-gui"/>

4. Go to the folder 

/home/ximo/MyPrograms/apache-tomcat-8.5.73/bin 

and execute 

./startup.sh 

to test if tomcat runs, with chrome pointing to the url

http://localhost:8080

2. Download the course and demo zip file

Create a folder for storing the file to download

/home/ximo/CLAVE20

Download the "Technical Course for Cl@ve2.0" zip file and uncompress it 

Uncompres the file: 

/home/ximo/CLAVE20/Curso Tecnico Cl-ve 2/kit/Paquete de Integracion Java 8 2-0-2.zip

Uncompress the file:

/home/ximo/CLAVE20/Curso Tecnico Cl-ve 2/kit/Paquete de Integracion Java 8 2-0-2/Paquete_Integracion_Java_Clave_2_0.zip

3. Copy the Keystore and configuration

Create a folder

/home/ximo/CLAVE20_CONF/SP

Copy the files from the folder:

 /home/ximo/CLAVE20/Curso Tecnico Cl-ve 2/kit/Paquete de Integracion Java 8 2-0-2/Paquete_Integracion_Java_Clave_2_0.zip/Config

to 

/home/ximo/Clave20_CONF/SP

This folder contains important properties and configuration files. In addition it contains also a keystore with a certificate. Here is some interesting information about this folder:

The Keystore password is stored in the file "SignModule_SP.xml"

In my case, the password it is "local-demo".

You can inspect this keystore using the program "KeyStore Explorer"

4. Copy required libraries to Tomcat (from kit folder)

Copy all the files in the folder 

/home/ximo/CLAVE20/Curso Tecnico Cl-ve 2/kit/libs_apache_tomcat

to the Tomcat's folder

 /home/ximo/MyPrograms/apache-tomcat-8.5.73/lib

1. But change the name of the libraries and remove the "00_" prefix

2. Change the name of serializar.x.x.x.jar to serializer.jar 

5. Configure Environment Variables

An environment variable pointing to  the configuration folder

Go to the folder  

/etc/profile.d

and add a file (specific for storing environment variables)

new-ximo-env.sh

and type :

export CLAVE_SP2_CONFIG_REPOSITORY=/home/ximo/CLAVE20_CONF/SP/

in order to get this variable added to the environment, you should restart your computer

DONT FORGET TO ADD THE TRAILER "/" to the environment variable
