2.2.1. Service Manager Installation Common Parameters

All installations of the Service Manager install the Tomcat and MySQL applications using the same basic set of parameters. The defaults provided by the installation process are designed to be unique so that they do not interfere with existing installations of either product. However, you should check these parameters before installation to ensure that you do not experience any problems.

The common parameters are divided into those applying to the Tomcat server, and the MySQL server (Repository Configuration):

  • Tomcat Server Options

    • Tomcat Server port — the default port that the Tomcat server will use when listening for connections. If you change this option, then the port that you need to use when connecting to the Service Manager must be modified accordingly. The default value is 18080.

      Note

      If you are not currently running a web server on port 80 you may find it more convenient to use the well known port rather than 18080. Since port 80 is the default for a web server, you can then open the dashboard without specifying a port.

    • Tomcat Shutdown port —the port used by the management scripts that is used to shut the Tomcat server down when you need to stop the Service Manager. The default value is 18005.

    • Tomcat SSL Port — the standard port used to connect to the Service Manager when you want to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypted communication. The default value is 18443.

  • Repository Configuration (MySQL Server)

    • Repository Username — the user name created and used to store information within the MySQL server to hold the information used by the Service Manager. In normal use, you should not need to use or modify this information, but it may be required if you have a support issue. The default value is service_manager.

    • Repository User password — the password to be used for the Repository Username. This should be set to a secure password so that the repository data is secure.

The information that you configure during installation will always be recorded within the configuration_report.txt file within the installation directory for the Service Manager.

Caution

Because the information stored within the configuration_report.txt file is in plain text, the Repository user name and password information are also exposed within this file. Make sure that the installation directory and file are secure that they can only be accessed by those users who would need to use the information.
