Manually Deploying Image Service Files for a Non-Windows Portal

If you are installing on a non-Windows portal, follow the directions below to manually deploy the Image Service files.

  1. Navigate to the images directory on the computer on which you installed Oracle WebCenter Content Service for Windows Files. The default installation location is: C:\bea\alui\ptntcws\10.3.0\images
  2. Move the imageserver50.tgz file to the location where the Image Service is installed.
  3. Decompress the .tgz file.
  4. Navigate to the directory where the Image Service is installed and confirm that there is a Webservices folder underneath.
  5. Untar the .tar file into the directory where the Image Service is installed. This step puts files into the <ImageService>/Webservices/file folder.

Setting Up Security Rights

Each content source you set up needs to impersonate an NT domain user to access your file system. You might want to create an NT user specifically for use with each content source you intend to create and then make sure that those users have write access to the directory where Oracle WebCenter Content Service for Windows Files is installed. Use the following steps if you need to add a user.

  1. From the Start menu, select Settings | Control Panel | Administrative Tools.
  2. Double-click Local Security Policy.
  3. Expand the Local Policies folder.
  4. Click the User Rights Assignment folder.
  5. Double-click Log on as Service.
  6. In the Local Security Policy Setting dialog box, click Add.
  7. In the Select Users or Groups dialog box, select the user and click Add.
  8. Click OK, and then OK again.
  9. Double-click Log on as Batch Job and repeat steps 6-8.
  10. Reboot your computer after the user rights are added.

Verifying the Security Library

To verify that Oracle WebCenter Interaction security library is encrypting and decrypting passwords properly:

  1. Go to the directory on the computer on which you installed Oracle WebCenter Content Service for Windows Files. The default installation location is: C:\bea\alui\ptntcws\10.3.0.
  2. Navigate to the bin\native directory, relative to the folder designated in the previous step.
  3. Double-click the ptcryptotest.exe file. This file contains a test application used to test Oracle WebCenter Interaction encryption and decryption.
  4. A console opens and prints the progress of encrypting and decrypting a password. If the test has finished successfully, the console displays Success! and asks the user to press ENTER to finish. Verify that Success! is displayed on the console, then press ENTER to close the test application.
