7signal Sapphire Deployment Guide Release 3.0
One should not use localhost or 127.0.0.1 for the IP address as this information shall be used
by RMI server and it needs to know the external IP address of the host in numeric format in
order to serve the remotely connecting clients.
The script continues:
Encryption certificates from certificate package [Y/n]? <enter>
Step 4: Install certificate container and its password
The above mentioned package is not part of the standard delivery. The GUI certificate
container and related password are in separate delivery medium in where the folder naming
pinpoints the right location for this information. If the certificate and password are copied to
the target machine, it is better to remove them after install verification unless one trusts the
file system security enough.
The script continues:
Please enter location of archive file (<prefix>-7signal-all.tar.gz):
Found file /root/7signal_storet-7signal-all.tar.gz. Do wish to use it
[Y/n]? <enter>
This option reflects how the user interaction looks like when certificate package install is being
used. In case of non-package install the script asks for path to the certificate container and the
password.
The script continues:

Please enter location of Carat license file (directory in which
license.xml file resides): <path>
Step 5: The license file location
The license file is created for each customer individually. It is in the same delivery medium
with the certificate containers. The file is digitally signed and does not require as high security
as the certificates.
