Installing the SecretStore Service on Solaris, Linux, AIX, or HP-UX

To install SecretStore components on Solaris, Linux, AIX, or HP-UX systems, use the ss-install utility. This utility is located in the Setup directory under the Solaris, Linux, AIX, or HP-UX platform directories of the SecretStore product download.

  1. Go to the zipped tar package in SecretStore_*.tar.z. Unzip and untar this file to get the UNIX install directory structure on the target machine:

    1. Unzip the tar file: $ gunzip SecretStore_32.tar.z

    2. Untar the structure: $ tar -xvf SecretStore_32.tar

  2. Go to the platform/setup directory.

    The platform can be Solaris, Linux, AIX, or HP-UX.

  3. Log in as the root user on the host server where SecretStore must be installed.

  4. Run the ss-install script.

    When prompted, accept the license agreement.

    Select the components that you are prompted to install.

  5. Configure SecretStore for UNIX by continuing with Configuring SecretStore for Solaris, Linux, AIX, or HP-UX.


Configuring SecretStore for Solaris, Linux, AIX, or HP-UX

To configure SecretStore for Solaris, Linux, AIX, or HP-UX, use the ssscfg utility. At the command line, enter the following:

/usr/sbin/ssscfg [-h hostname[:port]] [-w password] [-a admin FDN] -c/d [-v] [-s schemafile]

For example, to configure SecretStore after installing on Linux, type

ssscfg -h 137.65.159.160 -a admin.digitalairlines -c

For example, to deconfigure SecretStore, type

ssscfg -h 137.65.159.160 -a admin.digitalairlines -d
Parameter Description

hostname/IP address

The hostname or IP address of the server on which Novell SecretStore server components must be configured.

port

(Optional) The NDS or eDirectory server port.

-w

The password that corresponds to admin FDN. If you enter the optional parameter at the command line, you won't be prompted for the password.

admin FDN

The fully distinguished name of the eDirectory administrator for the tree. Use the complete context (for example, admin.organizationalunit.organization).

-c

-d

The configure command.

The deconfigure command.

-v

Sets the verbose mode.

-s

Refers to the SecretStore schema file in eDirectory format (ssv3.sch). The schema file is installed as part of the SecretStore product installation.

Synchronizing Replicas

Because NDS or eDirectory replicas influence a SecretStore server's operations, make sure that the replicas are properly synchronized. For information on synchronizing replicas, see the NetWare 6.5 Network Time Management Synchronization Guide.
