Installation Procedure

Note:

If any of the Restful Interfaces (RI), such as Directory and Presence Interface (DPI) is used together with ECF, the packages RI and ECF Web Server must be installed on the same server.

If communication between RI and ECF Web Server needs to be secured, you must make sure that the following conditions are fulfilled in both ECF Web Server and RI installation.:

  • Only TCP Port Number for HTTPS is defined during installation.

  • IP addresses of both ECF Web Server and RI virtual units are added as extensions to the certificate request.

  • Java trusts the certificate, or its issuer.

Restful Interface uses Tomcat, and installing the Restful Interface package installs this to the system. You need a certificate to make the connection secure.

  1. Create a certificate, see Creating Certificate for Restful Interfaces.

    As of version 1611, communication between RI and ECF Web Server can be secured as well. To do that, add the IP addresses of both ECF VU and RI VU to both ECF and RI certificate request extensions, and when you receive the certificate, enter it or the issuer to Java folder.

  2. Install the RI VU with IA, see Installing Restful Virtual Unit.

  3. If you have selected Java keystore during installation, you need one, see Generating Java Keystore
