Initial Setup to Start a Secure Data Grid

Procedure

  1. Set up PATH to point to TIBCO FTL and ActiveSpaces. 
    export TIBFTL_ROOT=/opt/tibco/ftl/<version>
export TIBDG_ROOT=/opt/tibco/as/<version>
export PATH=$TIBFTL_ROOT/bin:$TIBDG_ROOT/bin:$PATH
  2. On a computer with TIBCO FTL and ActiveSpaces, create the directories to hold the initial setup and configuration files. 
    >cd /home/youruser
>mkdir -p as
>cd as
>mkdir -p init
>cd init
>mkdir grid1
>cd grid1
>mkdir ftl_security
  3. Initialize the files for a secure ftlserver. 
    >cd ftl_security
>vi keystore_password.txt (enter a single line password and save file)
>tibftlserver --init-security file:/home/youruser/as/init/grid1/ftl_security/keystore_password.txt
Initializing TIBCO FTL server security.
Generating keystore 'ftl-tport.p12' and trust file 'ftl-trust.pem'.
  4. Create the TIBCO FTL server YAML configuration file. 
    cd..
vi ftl.yaml (paste the config below)
globals:
  core.servers:
    ftl1: host1:8085
    ftl2: host2:8185
    ftl3: host3:8285
  tls.secure: file:/home/youruser/as/ftlservers/keystore_password.txt
servers:
  ftl1:
  - realm:
      ftl: host1:8088
      data: /home/youruser/as/ftlservers/ftl1/realm_data
      logfile: /home/youruser/as/logs/ftlservers/ftl1-rs-log.txt
  ftl2:
  - realm:
      ftl: host2:8188
      data: /home/youruser/as/ftlservers/ftl2/realm_data
      logfile: /home/youruser/as/logs/ftlservers/ftl2-rs-log.txt
  ftl3:
  - realm:
      ftl: host3:8288
      data: /home/youruser/as/ftlservers/ftl3/realm_data
      logfile: /home/youruser/as/logs/ftlservers/ftl3-rs-log.txt
services:
  realm: {}
  5. Create the grid1.tibdg file. This configuration file is used to configure the data grid later after the TIBCO FTL server is running. 
    vi grid1.tibdg (paste the config below)
grid create copyset_size=2 encrypted_connections=all grid1
copyset create cs_01
copyset create cs_02
node create --copyset cs_01 --dir /home/youruser/as/grid1/cs_01.n_1_data cs_01.n_1
node create --copyset cs_01 --dir /home/youruser/as/grid1/cs_01.n_2_data cs_01.n_2
node create --copyset cs_02 --dir /home/youruser/as/grid1/cs_02.n_1_data cs_02.n_1
node create --copyset cs_02 --dir /home/youruser/as/grid1/cs_02.n_2_data cs_02.n_2
keeper create --dir /home/youruser/as/grid1/k_1_data k_1
keeper create --dir /home/youruser/as/grid1/k_2_data k_2
keeper create --dir /home/youruser/as/grid1/k_3_data k_3
proxy create proxy_client_listen_port=7771 p_01
proxy create proxy_client_listen_port=7772 p_02
proxy create proxy_client_listen_port=7773 p_03
proxy create proxy_client_listen_port=7774 p_04
table create t1 key long
