Configuring root of factories services

Before you set up root of factories services, the Secure Factory Service database must be up and running in the secure room and your HSMs must be set up.

To configure root of factories services:

1. Set the parameters in the service-deployment/rof/config.properties file:

   ############################################################
   # Root Of Factories Configuration
   ############################################################
   # HSM Server's addresses
   HSM_SERVER_1=
   HSM_SERVER_2=
   # Secure-Room home directory
   FACTORY_HOME_DIR=
   

   1. Set the HSM_SERVER_1 and HSM_SERVER_2 values to <new-hsm-hostname-1.domain.com> and <new-hsm-hostname-2.domain.com>.

      Development note: To use a software HSM for development purposes, leave the HSM_SERVER_1 and HSM_SERVER_2 lines blank in the service-deployment/rof/config.properties file and add a new line with HSM_TYPE=db.

   2. Set the FACTORY_HOME_DIR to the Secure Factory Service installation path.

      You can override the FACTORY_HOME_DIR value by setting an environment variable:

      export FACTORY_HOME_DIR=<Secure Factory Service installation path>
