Hi Christian, All,

Thx for solution, my AS is working. I have tested it with the

PerfsonarUI and the xml respond is correct without errors ;).

Yeah! :-)

Now I'm trying to configure RRD MA. Christian you said that you have

some experience with RRD MA. Could you write some useful information

about this service?

I stacked again with the configuration.

I think its again the eXist configuration. So from the beginning of

configuration site:

In basic configuration I choose the YES for the register with an LS and ....

* eXist configuration:

#  Location of the eXist db     ----> I leave like it is

(xmldb:exist://localhost:8080/exist/xmlrpc)

#  eXist user and the password ----> like I specify in eXist configuration;

#  eXist admin's password  ----> my admin's password for eXist

#  eXist OLD admin's password ----> what does it mean? why should I

change the admin's password?

#  full path of the metadata configuration file -----> like it is

/opt/perfsonar/services/geant2-java-rrd-ma/WEB-INF/classes/perfsonar/conf/rrd-database_TEST.xm

* Administration Configuration

User and password like usual: perfsonaruser/perfsonarpass

* Authentication configuration

Shall I enable authentication ? If yes should I change something in

those two fields?

If you want to require authentication for those message types, the answer is yes. Basically, if you turn the authentication on, you mean: 'I don't want everybody can send all kind of messages to my RRD MA'.

By default there is :

#  URL address of the Authentication Service ----->

http://homer.rediris.es:8080/perfSONAR-AS/services/AuthService

Should I change it for my AS :

http://localhost:8080/geant2-java-es/services/AuthService

Yes, you should change it to http://localhost:8080/geant2-java-as/services/AuthService

#  Message types which should be authenticated ----> there already is

SetupDataRequest, MetadataKeyRequest.

I think you should leave that default value.

Regards 

Feel free to put any comments.

Thx

Regards,

Hi,

Now I'm configuring the AS basic configuration. Can somebody explain

me what some fields mean and what shall I put if I want to register to

LS.

So mandatory fields are:

LS Configuration:

LS URL  ----> http://localhost:8080/xml-ls/service/LookupService/

I think the right URL is http://localhost:8080/xml-ls/services/LookupService

Service Access Point ------> Should I put there :

http://localhost:8080/geant2-java-as/services/AuthService

Yep, it's right.

Administrator Configuration: like in the instruction.

Authentication Configuration:

There is TrustStore and Certificate Authority configuration. Should I

leave the patch like it is there?

How can I get the password to truststore file?

What about Component IDs in eduGAIN ?

You must leave the default values. You should change them if you aren't

going to use with the eduGAIN trust model.

Regards

Regards,

Maciej
