7. Activate the created repository server. Refer to 'Starting a Repository Server' in 'Operation and
Maintenance', for an explanation of repository server start.
8. Download the authentication infrastructure setup file necessary for setting up the authentication
server or repository server (update system).
Downloading the Authentication Infrastructure Setup File
Download the authentication infrastructure setup file from the Interstage Management Console of the
machine where the repository server (update system) was created.
On the Interstage Management Console, click [Single Sign-on] and then [Authentication infrastructure]
from the Security menu. Click the [Authentication infrastructure setup file] tab. Set the [Password], and
click [Download] to download the authentication infrastructure setup file to the machine on which the
Web browser is operating.
The authentication infrastructure setup file is important for security, and is encrypted using the password.
Protect the password from exposure to third parties. After the authentication server or repository server
(reference system) is set up, always delete the password.
Remarks
The repository server does not use the port number of the Web server (Interstage HTTP server). That is,
it does not use the [Port number] configured in the [Web Server Settings] tab (found by clicking on
[Services] and then [Web Server] on the System menu).
When only the Web server (Interstage HTTP server) is used from the repository server, the above port
number is not used. Setting the port number in the [Web Server Settings] tab to be the same as the port
number specified at repository server setup prevents an unnecessary port from opening.
Constructing an SSL Communication Environment for a
Repository Server (Update System)
For replication between SSO repositories, data must be transferred from the master SSO repository of
the repository server (update system) to the slave SSO repository of the repository server (reference
system). SSL communication is performed by the repository server (reference system).
To enable SSL communication for performing replication, the SSL communication environment must be
set up on the repository server (update system).
This setup is unnecessary when one repository server (reference system) is to be added to an already
set-up authentication infrastructure, and the SSL communication environment is already set up on the
active repository server.
The SSL communication environment is set up in the following steps:
