configuration principles

smart-bcs configuration concepts

Each sbcs component stores it's configuration in a separate directory below /etc/ecm4u/sbcs-*:

• All configurable parameters are read from a component yaml file (e.g. /etc/ecm4u/sbcs-faw/sbcs-faw.yml)
• To make configuration more flexible most parameters in the yaml files are set by variables which are defined in default properties: config.default
• Users should never change any value in the yaml or config.defaults file. Instead custom configuration should be defined in the component specific config property file which will not be overwritten by updates.

Although the config file already uses (sbcs component specific) variables it is a uncomfortable and error prone way to configure all the required properties for all the components. Instead it is the recommended way to configure all required properties in the sbcs-admin.properties file only and led the sbcs-admin script do all the work.

sbcs-admin

The sbcs-admin script reads and sets all parameters in /etc/ecm4u/sbcs-admin/sbcs-admin.properties

Please check and modify sbcs-admin.properties first to meet your environment. You should set at least all SBCS_LDAP_* parameters. There is no need to set the passwords since the scripts could regenerate and set all passwords with one simple command.

Once you're finished with your changes in the properties file you can apply theses changes to all sbcs components by running as user sbcs:

/usr/share/ecm4u/sbcs-admin/sbcsctl config apply

You can also regenerate all preset passwords by running:

/usr/share/ecm4u/sbcs-admin/sbcsctl config apply
