Configure Sample Application to Communicate with CA Risk Authentication Server

The CA Risk Authentication.risk-evaluation.properties file provides the parameters for the Java SDK and Sample Application to read CA Risk Authentication Server information. Therefore, after deploying Sample Application, you must now configure it to communicate with CA Risk Authentication Server. This file is only available after you deploy the CA Risk Authentication Sample Application WAR file, CA Risk Authentication-8.0-sample-application.war.

Follow these steps::

1. Navigate to the CA Risk Authentication.risk-evaluation.properties file on your application server.

   In Apache Tomcat, this file is available at following location:

   <App_Home\CA Risk Authentication-8.0-sample-application>\WEB-INF\classes\properties\
   
   

   <App_Home\CA Risk Authentication-8.0-sample-application\>

   Indicates the directory path where you deployed the CA Risk Authentication application WAR files.

2. Open the riskfort.risk-evaluation.properties file in an editor window and set the value for the following parameters:
   • HOST.1
   • PORT.1

   A default value is specified for the remaining parameters in the file. You can change these values, if necessary.

3. (Optional) Perform this step only if you configured SSL-based communication in Configuring SSL.

   Set the following parameters:

   • TRANSPORT_TYPE=SSL (By default, this parameter is set to TCP.)
   • CA_CERT_FILE=<absolute_path_of_Root_Certificate_in_PEM_FORMAT>

     For example, specify one of the following values:

     • CA_CERT_FILE=<install_location>/certs/<ca_cert>.pem
     • CA_CERT_FILE=<install_location>\\certs\\<ca_cert>.pem

   Important! In the absolute path that you specify, verify that you use \\ or / instead of \. This is because the change may not work if you use the conventional \ that is used in Microsoft Windows for specifying paths.

4. Save the changes and close the file.
5. To ensure that these changes are reflected, restart the application server.
