Technical support for third party CORBA Java ORBs should be provided by their respective vendors. BEA Tuxedo does not provide any technical support or documentation for third party CORBA Java ORBs.
Building and Running the Security Sample Application
The Security sample application demonstrates using password authentication. For instructions for building and running the Security sample application, see the Guide to the CORBA University Sample Applications.
Building and Running the Secure Simpapp Sample Application
The Secure Simpapp sample application demonstrates using the SSL protocol and certificate authentication to protect communications between client applications and the BEA Tuxedo domain.
To build and run the Secure Simpapp sample application, complete the following steps:
- Copy the files for the Secure Simpapp sample application into a work directory.
- Change the protection attribute on the files for the Secure Simpapp sample application.
- Verify the environment variables.
- Execute the
runme
command.
Before you can use the Secure Simpapp sample application, obtain a certificate and private key (IIOPListener.pem
) for the IIOP Listener/Handler from the certificate authority in your enterprise and load the certificate in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)-enabled directory service. The runme
command prompts you for the pass phrase for the private key for the IIOP Listener/Handler.
Step 1: Copy the Files for the Secure Simpapp Sample Application into a Work Directory
You need to copy the files for the Secure Simpapp sample application into a work directory on your local machine.
The files for the Secure Simpapp sample application are located in the following directories:
Windows 2003
drive:\TUXdir
\samples\corba\simpappSSL
UNIX
/usr/local/TUXdir
/samples/corba/simpappSSL
You will use the files listed in Table 10-1 to build and run the Secure Simpapp sample application.

|
runme.ksh
|
The UNIX Korn shell script that builds and executes the Secure Simpapp sample application.
|
makefile.mk
|
The makefile for the Secure Simpapp sample application on the UNIX operating system. This file is used to manually build the Secure Simpapp sample application. Refer to the Readme.html file for information about manually building the Secure Simpapp sample application. The UNIX make command needs to be in the path of your machine.
|
makefiles.nt
|
The makefile for the Secure Simpapp sample application on the Windows 2003 operating system. This makefile can be used directly by the Visual C++ nmake command. This file is used to manually build the Secure Simpapp sample application. Refer to the Readme.html file for information about manually building the Secure Simpapp sample application. The Windows 2003 nmake command needs to be in the path of your machine.
|
Step 2: Change the Protection Attribute on the Files for the Secure Simpapp Sample Application
During the installation of the BEA Tuxedo software, the sample application files are marked read-only. Before you can edit or build the files in the Secure Simpapp sample application, you need to change the protection attribute of the files you copied into your work directory, as follows:
Windows 2003
prompt>attrib -r
drive:
\workdirectory
\*.*
UNIX
prompt>/bin/ksh
ksh prompt>chmod u+w /
workdirectory
/*.*
On the UNIX operating system platform, you also need to change the permission of runme.ksh
to give execute permission to the file, as follows:
ksh prompt>chmod +x runme.ksh
Step 3: Verify the Settings of the Environment Variables
Before building and running the Secure Simpapp sample application, you need to ensure that certain environment variables are set on your system. In most cases, these environment variables are set as part of the installation procedure. However, you need to check the environment variables to ensure they reflect correct information.
Table 10-2 lists the environment variables required to run the Secure Simpapp sample application.
Table 10-2 Required Environment Variables for the Secure Simpapp Sample Application
Environment Variable
|
Description
|
APPDIR
|
The directory path where you copied the sample application files. For example:
Windows 2003
APPDIR=c:\ work \simpappSSL
UNIX
APPDIR=/usr/ work /simpappSSL
|
TUXCONFIG
|
The directory path and name of the configuration file. For example:
Windows 2003
TUXCONFIG=c:\work\simpappSSL\tuxconfig
UNIX
TUXCONFIG=/usr/ work /simpappSSL/tuxconfig
|
TOBJADDR
|
The host name and port number of the IIOP Listener/Handler. The port number must be defined as a port for SSL communications. For example:
Windows 2003
TOBJADDR=trixie::1111
UNIX
TOBJADDR=trixie::1111
|
RESULTSDIR
|
A subdirectory of APPDIR where files that are created as a result of executing the runme command are stored. For example:
Windows 2003
RESULTSDIR=c:\workdirectory\
UNIX
RESULTSDIR=/usr/local/workdirectory/
|
To verify that the information for the environment variables defined during installation is correct, perform the following steps:
Windows 2003
- From the Start menu, select Settings.
- From the Settings menu, select the Control Panel.
The Control Panel appears.
The System Properties window appears.
- Click the Environment tab.
The Environment page appears.
- Check the settings of the environment variables.
UNIX
ksh prompt>printenv TUXDIR
To change the settings, perform the following steps:
Windows 2003
- On the Environment page in the System Properties window, click the environment variable you want to change or enter the name of the environment variable in the
Variable
field.
- Enter the correct information for the environment variable in the
Value
field.
- Click OK to save the changes.
UNIX
ksh prompt>export TUXDIR=
directorypath
Step 4: Execute the runme Command
The runme
command automates the following steps:
- Setting the system environment variables.
- Loading the
UBBCONFIG
file.
- Compiling the code for the client application.
- Compiling the code for the server application.
- Starting the server application using the
tmboot
command.
- Starting the client application.
- Stopping the server application using the
tmshutdown
command.
Note: You can also run the Secure Simpapp sample application manually. The steps for manually running the Secure Simpapp sample application are described in the Readme.html
file.
To build and run the Secure Simpapp sample application, enter the runme
command, as follows:
Windows 2003
prompt>cd
workdirectory
prompt>runme
UNIX
ksh prompt>cd
workdirectory
ksh prompt>./runme.ksh
