Server

The server hosts the SDC software. Admin Consoles access the server installation either locally or remotely from various platforms to configure deployed packages.

Current Installation

There is only one installation of the server as indicated in the table below.

Host	Port	Installation Path
habilis	xxxxx	/opt/sdc/Server

There is an additional path, /opt/sdc/Data Files, that stores SDC system information. Under normal circumstances, this directory should not be touched.

Installation Steps

This section covers the installation for a Linux machine.

1. Download the most recent version of Secure Delivery Center.
2. Launch the installer:
   • Use chmod to make the file executable.
   • Use sudo to run the file.
3. An interactive installer should appear. The directions are easy to follow, but please consider the following:
   • Install in a reasonable location, e.g., /opt/sdc/Server
   • Install the database next to the server, e.g., /opt/sdc/Data Files
4. You will need to open a port. This will vary depending on the operating system, but you can see if a port is open by using the command nmap -sS -pPORT localhost
   • The port can be configured in installation_path/server/configuration/config.ini

Admin Console

The Admin Console is used to configure Eclipse IDEs deployed for use by the development team(s). It allows you to do things like bundle frequently used plugins--Subversive SVN connectors, m2e, Eclipse Color Theme, etc.--, configure workspace preferences, or a project set connected to an SVN repository. The Admin Console can be installed anywhere and does not have to be on the server's machine.

Installation Steps

To install a local copy of the Admin Console, you will need to download a copy from the SDC Delivery Portal. See the following steps for more details. You will need to provide your administrator credentials.

1. Open a browser and navigate to
   • http://host_fqdn:port/ and then clicking on Administration in the top right, OR
   • http://host_fqdn:port/admin/.
2. Under Admin Downloads, select the appropriate package for your operating system.
3. Once downloaded, run the installer and follow the directions.
   • Note: The installer does not need to be run with administrative privileges.
