Installing and Setting Up Security Server on RHEL OS

This article describes installation of security server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS 6 (hereafter, RHEL).

Before installing a security server set up the server, at which security server will be installed, similarly to the setup of BI server.

To install a security server, execute the following operations:

1. Copy a *_security.tar.gz archive with Foresight Analytics Platform security server files to the home directory.

2. Unpack the archive to the /opt/Foresight/fp9.2-biserver directory by executing the following commands in the terminal:

sudo mkdir /opt/Foresight

sudo mkdir /opt/Foresight/fp9.2-biserver

cd /opt/Foresight/fp9.2-biserver

sudo tar xvfz ~/<archive name of Foresight Analytics Platform>_security.tar.gz

3. Install additional packages for the security server of Foresight Analytics Platform by executing the following commands in the terminal:

sudo yum install mesa-libGL

sudo yum install mesa-libGLU

sudo yum install libgomp

sudo yum install libpng

sudo yum install libjpeg

4. Copy the tnsnames.ora file to the directory /opt/Foresight/fp9.2-biserver/bin/ and create a link to it in the home directory by executing the following commands in the terminal:

sudo cp ~/tnsnames.ora /opt/Foresight/fp9.2-biserver/bin/

rm ~/tnsnames.ora

sudo ln -s /opt/Foresight/fp9.2-biserver/bin/tnsnames.ora ~/tnsnames.ora

NOTE. This step is relevant is setup is executed for Oracle DBMS. Other DBMS are set up similarly to standard BI server setup.

After installing and setting up security server, set up httpd services.
