CA Risk Authentication Windows Installation Guide › Deploy User Data Service

Deploy User Data Service

CA RiskMinder can access user data from a relational database (RDBMS) or directly from an LDAP server by using UDS, which is an abstraction layer that provides RiskMinder seamless access to the third-party data repositories deployed by your organization.

Follow these steps::

1. Deploy arcotuds.war on the application server. This file is available at:

   <install_location>\Arcot Systems\java\webapps\
   

   For example, in the case of Apache Tomcat, you must deploy the WAR file at <APP_SERVER_HOME>\webapps\.

   Note: The deployment procedure depends on the application server that you are using. See the application server vendor documentation for detailed instructions.

2. (For 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 screen.
   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 to save the changes.
3. Restart the application server.
4. Verify if UDS was deployed successfully:

   Note: The arcotuds.log file is used for logging UDS-related information.

   1. Navigate to the following location:

      <install_location>\Arcot Systems\logs\
      

   2. Open the arcotuds.log file in any editor and locate the following line:
      • User Data Service (Version: 2.0.3) initialized successfully.

      This line indicates that UDS was deployed successfully.

   3. Also ensure that the log files do not contain any FATAL and WARNING messages.
   4. Close the file.
