In the case of a re-setup, the existing server.xml is overwritten with the default values. Therefore, back up the information in server.xml beforehand and update it manually after setting up WebAdmin.
No action is required because the certificate is not overwritten during re-setup.

Follow the procedure below to set up WebAdmin.

1. Change to the superuser

   Acquire superuser privileges on the system.

   Example

   $ su -
   Password:******

2. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable

   Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the installation destination of Open JRE 8.

   Example

   # export JAVA_HOME="OpenJRE8InstallDir"

3. Run Setup

   Run the WebAdminSetup command.

   Example

   If WebAdmin is installed in /opt/fsepv<x>webadmin:

   # cd /opt/fsepv<x>webadmin/sbin
   # ./WebAdminSetup

4. Specifying Setup Items

   Specify the following:

   Refer to the "/etc/services" file and only change to a different port number if there is overlap with a port number from another service.

   Make a note of the port number for the Web server, because it will be required for starting the WebAdmin window.

   Item
   HTTPS usage Do you want to use HTTPS (secure communication)? [y,n,q] (default: n)
   Web server port number Enter port number of Web Server (default: 27515):
   (Can be set only when HTTPS is used.) HTTPS Client Authentication usage Do you want to use HTTPS Client Authentication? [y,n,q] (default: n)
   WebAdmin internal port number Enter Internal port number for WebAdmin (default: 27516):
   WebAdmin automatic start Start WebAdmin automatically when system starting? [y,n] (default: y)

HTTPS usage

Specify whether to use HTTPS, for secure communication with the WebAdmin (and to be used internally by the WebAdmin).

To facilitate HTTPS deployment, WebAdmin automatically creates a self-signed server certificate. This certificate should only be used for testing purposes, such as connection verification, and should be replaced with an appropriate CA-signed certificate in production.

Refer to "B.1.2 Certificate Settings For Secure Connection Support" for detail certificate settings.

Point

If you continue to use the self-signed server certificate that WebAdmin created, your browser displays a warning screen when you access the WebAdmin page because you can access WebAdmin but the certificate is not signed by a known and trusted CA.

Web server port number

Specify a numeric value from 1024 to 32767 for the port number to be used for communication between the Web browser and the Web server.

The Web server port number will be registered as a port number with the following service name in the "/etc/services" file.

fsep_170_WA_64_WebAdmin_Port1

HTTPS Client Authentication usage

Specify whether to use HTTPS Client Authentication, to ensure that only authenticated clients can use the WebAdmin.

To facilitate the deployment of HTTPS client authentication, WebAdmin automatically creates two self-signed client certificates.

One is for browser-to-server authentication. and one for server-to-server authentication.

Server to server authentication is required because WebAdmins can have multiple server configurations and communicate between them. Refer to "Appendix I Determining the Preferred WebAdmin Configuration".

These certificate should only be used for testing purposes, such as connection verification, and should be replaced with an appropriate CA-signed certificate in production.

Refer to "B.1.2 Certificate Settings For Secure Connection Support" for detail certificate settings.

Point

If client authentication is selected, client certificate for browser must be registered in user’s browser before accessing to WebAdmin. Otherwise, WebAdmin will not be accessible.

WebAdmin internal port number

Specify a numeric value from 1024 to 32767 for the port number to be used for communication between the Web server and the WebAdmin runtime environment.

The WebAdmin internal port number will be registered as a port number with the following service name in the /etc/services file.

fsep_170_WA_64_WebAdmin_Port2

WebAdmin automatic start

Select whether or not to start WebAdmin when the machine is started.
