Performing First-Time Configuration of the OpenTofu Staging Server

This section shows you how to perform the first-time configuration of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne OpenTofu Staging Server that is deployed as an image into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Before you can use the OpenTofu staging server, you need to perform the first-time configuration to specify certain port and password values.

Prerequisite

You must have logged in to the staging server by following the steps described in the section "Logging in to the Linux Instance for the OpenTofu Staging Server" of this Learning Path.

Performing First-Time Configuration of the OpenTofu Staging Server

When you log in to the OpenTofu Staging Server instance for the first time, or at any time thereafter without previously entering all the values into the first-time configuration script, the system automatically invokes a mandatory first-time configuration script. You must enter and confirm password values as described in this procedure.

Note: If you only want to view contents on the OpenTofu Staging Server, there is no requirement to enter password information.
  1. You must manually launch the first-time configuration script using this command:

    sudo ./createStage.sh

  2. As the first-time configuration script of the OpenTofu staging server runs, the system displays the following prompt. At this prompt, you must set and confirm a password for the VNC server that this first-time configuration script installs and configures on the OpenTofu staging server.

    The password values you enter are masked. As with all password values, you should keep a record of the values that you enter because these values are encrypted and cannot subsequently be retrieved or decrypted.First-Time Configuration—Password for VNC Server

  3. Next the first-time configuration scripts prompts you to enter the password for the opc user. This password will be used by the system to authenticate the opc user that is created by the script.

After the script completes running, the system reboots the instance for the OpenTofu staging server and starts the Infrastructure Provisioning Console.

To access the console, you must log back in to the OpenTofu staging server using a VNC viewer as detailed in the next section: Accessing the OpenTofu Staging Server Through the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) Viewer.
