Kerberos

After the installation of the RPM packages the Fabasoft Folio Service user (fscsrv) is available. The ownership and permissions of the file /etc/fabasoft/krb5.keytab, that has been created during preparation of Linux (see document “Fabasoft on Red Hat Linux – Preparation Guide”), need to be adjusted. Therefore perform the following steps:

1. Set the ownership of the file /etc/fabasoft/krb5.keytab to fscsrv by executing the following command:
   # chown fscsrv:fsc /etc/fabasoft/krb5.keytab
2. Set the permission for the file /etc/fabasoft/krb5.keytab as only the user fscsrv can read and write it by executing the following command:
   # chmod 0600 /etc/fabasoft/krb5.keytab

The ownership and permissions for the file /etc/fabasoft/krb5.keytab have been changed.

Creation of Fabasoft Folio AT Services

To create a Fabasoft Folio AT Service, perform the following steps:

1. Logon as user fscsrv.
   # su – fscsrv
2. Create a Fabasoft Folio AT Service instance by executing the following command:
   > /opt/fabasoft/bin/fscatm –a –h <hostname> -princ <krbprincipal>
   <hostname> is the hostname of the Fabasoft Folio Backend Server running the primary Fabasoft Folio COO Service.
   <krbprincipal> defines the imported principal in the format <user>@<REALM>. The import is described in the document “Fabasoft on Red Hat Linux – Preparation Guide”.
   Note: <REALM> must be specified in capital letters.
   A default port of 18070 is assumed for the Fabasoft Folio Backend Service. To specify another port, use the –p option.
   Note: Non-kerberized installations additionally use the –k option but omit the –princ option. Run fscatm (without any options) to see an overview of all options available.
3. Start all Fabasoft Folio Service:
   > /opt/fabasoft/bin/fscmgmt start all

A Fabasoft Folio AT Service is available.
