nts-fuseds is a Framework to host and manage various NTS (UK
Services) applications. Tested on Linux (i386) and Microsoft Windows
platforms.

Requirements

• Java (JDK) >= 1.6
  

  
  

• Apache Tomcat 6.x

  
  

• Latest Novell International
  Cryptographic Infrastructure (NICI)
  

  
  

• On the clients, the latest version of Adobe Flash Player
  >=10.0.0

  
  

Getting Started

• Install NICI on the server

  
  

• Ensure that the JAVA_HOME environment is set to the installed
  >=1.6 JDK

  
  

• When the requirements have been met, deploy nts-fuseds.war as
  per the tomcat guidelines.
  

  
  

• Stop the Tomcat server and make the following changes:

  
  
  
  

  • Move <tomcat-install>/webapps/nts-fuseds/lib/nts →
    <tomcat-install>/lib/nts

    
    

  • Add <tomcat-install>/lib/nts to the path.
    

    
    

  • Move <tomcat-install>/lib/nts/jclient.jar →
    <tomcat-install>/lib/

    
    
    
    

    • On Windows, edit the <tomcat-install>/bin/startup.bat
      and add a line similar to “set
      path=%PATH%;C:\Data\Dev\Apache\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\lib\nts\windows”
      near the top of the file (without quotes and changing the path to
      meet your setup)

      
      

    • On Linux, edit the <tomcat-install>/bin/startup.sh
      file and add a line similar to export
      LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/apache/lib/nts

      
      
    
    

  • change the memory parameters in bin/catalina.sh(bat) to
    suite your environment (JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms256m
    -Xmx512m")

    
    

  • Add a user & role to the conf/tomcat-users.xml. Should
    look something similar to

    
    
  
  

<?xml
version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<tomcat-users>

<role
rolename="manager"/>

<user
username="tomcat" password="secret"
roles="manager"/>

</tomcat-users>

• Modify webapps/nts-fuseds/WEB-INF/web.xml and ensure that
  match the user/password you added above and the server address/port
  you will have tomcat listening on

  
  
  
  

  • tomcat-manager-user

    
    

  • tomcat-manager-password

    
    

  • tomcat-server

    
    
  
  

After
the modifications, restart Tomcat and pay attention the the tomcat
log to ensure that it starts normally. In a browser go to http://your
server:port/nts-fuseds
