Installing and Setting Up Security Server on Ubuntu OS

This article describes installation of security server on Ubuntu OS (supported versions).

Before installing a security server on Ubuntu, set up client workstation similarly to setting up BI 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 distribution file to the /opt/Foresight/fp9.2-biserver directory by executing the command 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. Copy the tnsnames.ora file to the directory /opt/Foresight/9.2/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 Apache.
