3.8 Install and Configure Java and hpssadm
3.8.1 Introduction
The hpssadm utility and the modifications to the SSM Data Server necessary to support hpssadm
require the installation and configuration of Java 1.3.0 and the Java Secure Sockets Extension. The
default prebuilt Data Server executable andshared library require Java.If the hpssadm utility is not
used, these can be replaced with the no-Java prebuilt versions of these files, which are also shipped
with HPSS. See Section 3.8.1.2: Using the No-Java Version of the Data Server on page 179 for more
information on how to use the no-Java version.
Section 3.8.1.1: Up and Running: Quick Configuration on page 175 provides a quick configuration
cookbook. If you use all the default values, you should be able to configure your system for the
Java SSM using only these instructions. For more detailed information on the configuration
procedure, see the remainder of Section 3.8.
3.8.1.1 Up and Running: Quick Configuration
This is a quick procedure for configuring Java and HPSS to support hpssadm, the Command Line
SSM. For more detailed information on the configuration procedure, see the remainder of Section
3.8.
These examples assume that SSMDS and hpssadm will be executed on different machines, referred
to here as the "SSMDS machine" and the "hpssadm machine". If SSMDS and hpssadm will be
executed on the same machine, perform each step on that machine except where otherwise noted.
These procedures should be executed as root. Some of them require the DCE cell_admin password.
These procedures assign the same password, referenced as <cacerts_password>, to the trusted
store file on all machines. They assign a unique password, referenced as <ds_keystore_password>,
to the SSMDS keystore file.
Whenever the keytool utility prompts for a password, remember thatit will echo the password you
type in plain text.
For AIX, the environment variable JAVA_HOME should be /usr/java130/jre. For Solaris, it should
be /usr/j2se/jre.
1. On the SSMDS and each hpssadm machine:
A. Install Java 1.3.0 and JSSE 1.0.2.
B. Reset password for the Certificate Trusted Store (cacerts file)
This password is delivered as "changeit". Verify that this is the password by using it to
access and read the trusted store, and then change the password to the desired value,
referenced here as <cacerts_password>:
i. Work in Java security directory:
% cd $JAVA_HOME/lib/security
