This chapter described how to run Oracle Secure File Transport (SFT) and the configuration options supported.
The following sections are provided:
To run SFT, enter the following command:
/opt/asrmanager/bin/sftransport start_listener
The following configuration topics are presented:
The HTTP Listener is a separate daemon process from the main transfer process that receives data. It can be setup and enabled during the SFT installation procedure. If the Listener is enabled, the Listener port can be verified or changed during the SFT installation.
You can send core files and other case-data files from Explorer to the SFT transfer directory using the HTTP Listener.
In the /etc/opt/SUNWexplo/default/explorer configuration file, set the EXP_TRANSPORT variable to http://server:port.
Run Explorer with the -p command line option.
Configure then run Explorer with the -T http://server:port command line option.
You can also use the explorer -g option to specify the SFT transport server and port. The example below shows a sample output of this option.
Example: Using the 'explorer -g' Option
Automatic Submission At the completion of Explorer, all output may be sent to Oracle or alternate destinations. Target: https://supportfiles.sun.com/curl Send explorer output via HTTPS when -P is specified (y/n)? Choose 'n' to specify an alternate target, such as your Secure File Transport (SFT) listener []: n When -P is specified, would you like Explorer output to be sent to an alternate target destination, such as your Secure File Transport (SFT) listener (y/n)? If yes, then enter the http[s]://server:port Otherwise, enter only a single '-' for your reply. HTTPS destination or a '-' [http://mysftransportlistener:88]:
The HTTPS Listener provides the same basic functionality as the HTTP listener, with added SSL encryption.
In the /etc/opt/SUNWexplo/default/explorer configuration file, set the EXP_TRANSPORT variable to http://server:port.
Run Explorer with the -p command line option.
Configure then run Explorer with the -T http://server:port command line option.
Generate the SSL certificate for the SFT host by following the SSL Certificate directions located at:
http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/configuring-ssl.html
Modify the /var/opt/asrmanager/sftransport/config/listener.xml configuration file to enable SSL as follows:
The listener.xml file has a section for SslSocketConnector that is commented out by default; un-comment this section and add the appropriate port and key/password configuration.
Ensure no conflict with port 443, the default port on the SFT host. If port 443 is already being used then change the Listener port to another acceptable value.
Comment out the jetty.nio.SelectChannelConnector <Item> element, so that jetty.security.SslSocketConnector is the only active connector. For more information, see the Jetty documentation.
The following sections describe command line options for modifying the SFT configuration and for managing the HTTP Listener:
Table 2-1 describes the command line options you can use to change the SFT configuration (/opt/asrmanager/bin/sftransport):
