Checking the Ports

Perform the following steps to verify whether the CA Strong Authentication Server is listening to different protocols on the default ports:

1. Navigate to the following location:

   <install_location>/arcot/logs
   

2. Open the arcotwebfortstartup.log file in any editor and search for the protocol names to verify whether they are listening on the correct port, as shown in the following snippet.

   PROTOCOLNAME : [Administration-WS]
   PORTNO : 9745
   PROTOCOLID : [Transaction-Native]
   PORTNO : 9742
   PROTOCOLID : [ServerManagement-WS]
   PORTNO : 9743
   PROTOCOLID : [Transaction-WS]
   PORTNO : 9744
   

Note: See appendix, "Default Port Numbers and URLs" for information about default ports and protocols.

Deploy User Data Service

CA Strong Authentication can access user data either from a relational database (RDBMS) or directly from an LDAP server:

You need the file arcotuds.war to deploy the User Data Service (UDS). This file is available at:

<install_location>/arcot/java/webapps/

Follow these steps:

1. Install arcotuds.war in the appropriate directory on the application server.

   Note: The deployment procedure depends on the application server that you are using. See your application server vendor documentation for detailed instructions.
   For example, in the case of Apache Tomcat, deploy the WAR file at <APP_SERVER_HOME>/webapps/.

2. (WebSphere Only) Configure to reload the UDS class when the application files are updated.
   1. Navigate to Applications, Application Types, WebSphere Enterprise Applications; and access the UDS settings page.
   2. Under Class loader order, select the Classes loaded with local class loader first (parent last) option.
   3. Under WAR class loader policy, select the Single class loader for application.
   4. Click Apply.
3. Restart the application server.
4. Perform the following steps to verify if UDS started correctly:
   1. Navigate to the following location:

      <install_location>/arcot/logs
      

   2. Open the arcotuds.log file in any editor and locate the following lines:

      User Data Service (Version: 2.0.3)  initialized successfully. 
      

      This line indicates that UDS was deployed successfully

Note: Check and resolve if there are any FATAL and ERROR messages, and review all the WARNING messages for unexpected conditions.
