6.2 Configuring REST Service Using Apache Tomcat

The Oracle Trace File Analyzer installation includes a Web Application Resource (WAR) file to enable the REST service via Apache Tomcat.

To enable the REST service using Apache Tomcat:

Note:

User resource is available only when you enable the REST service by deploying the tfa.war file in the application server. User resource is not available if you enable the REST service by running the tfactl rest -start command.

1. Deploy the WAR file located at TFA_HOME/common/jlib/tfa.war to your Tomcat server.
2. Change the tfaadmin user password.

   curl -k --user tfaadmin:tfaadmin -X POST "https://host/tfa/tfactl/user/update" '{ "password" : "some_new_password" }'

3. Change the tfarest user password.

   curl -k --user tfarest:tfarest -X POST "https://host/tfa/tfactl/user/update" '{ "password" : "some_new_password" }'

4. Add the Tomcat user to the Oracle Trace File Analyzer access list.

   tfactl access add -user tomcat_user
