Metacat

Replication set up for tomcat4 standalone (java1.4)

1. Generate keys in java default key store - $jAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts:

   keytool -genkey -alias pinetomcat -keyalg RSA -validity 800 -keystore cacerts

   Note: when ask you name, you should put your host name, such as "pine.nceas.ucsb.edu"

2. Generate certificate:

   keytool -export -alias pinetomcat -file pinetomcatjava14.cert -keystore cacerts

3. Configure server.xml for tomcat 4.

   Removed the comment for port 8443. In factory element add an attribute:

   keystoreFile="/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/jre/lib/security/cacerts"

   In windows machine, it will look like keystoreFile="C:\usr\java\j2sdk1.4.1_01\jre\lib\security\cacerts"

4. Import other server's certificate to cacerts:

    keytool -import -alias fatalitomcatjava14 -file ~/keys/fatalitomcat/fatalitomcatjava14.cert -keystore cacerts

5. Restart tomcat

6. Set up xml_replication table in metacat

Replication set up for Apache2 (with Tomcat4):

1. Generate keys by openssl (In pine machine)

   openssl req -new -out REQ.pem -keyout server.key

   Note: the first quetion is asked to set your password.

2. Generate certificate:

   openssl req -x509 -days 800 -in REQ.pem -key server.key -out server.crt

3. Put server.key into $APACHE_HOME/conf/ssl.key and server.crt into APACHE_HOME/conf/ssl.crt

4. Import other server's certificate to java's cacerts:

   keytool -import -alias pinetomcat14 -file pinetomcatjava14.cert -keystore cacerts

5. Restart apache and tomcat

6. Set up xml_replication table in metacat
