Discontinue Use of Download Server

Due to the CA AppLogic end of life, CA Technologies will no longer support the download.3tera.com server. Please change your BFC settings to either use the local directory on the BFC or to a different download server.

Download from a Local Directory

You can disconnect from the download server by accessing BFC and updating the Administration settings on the Versions page. In the future as you receive or acquire hot fix files, you need to add them directly to the specific version directory in the local download directory.

Follow these steps:

1. In the BFC, select Administration, then select the Versions tab.
2. Verify the following:
   • AppLogic Versions Download Directory is set to a locally accessible directory that is readable by the bfcadmin.
   • The download directory contains each version that you will want in the future. If it doesn’t, have the BFC download them.
3. In the Download section, select the Manually radio button and click Save.

Download from a Different Server

Follow these steps:

1. In the BFC, select Administration, then select the Versions tab.
2. Verify the following:
   • AppLogic Versions Download Directory is set to a locally accessible directory that is readable by the bfcadmin.
   • The download directory contains each version that you will want in the future. If it doesn’t, have the BFC download them.
3. In the Download section, select the From Download Server radio button.
4. In the Download Server field, enter the IP address or resolvable name of the download server, then enter the BFC user name in the Download User field.
5. (Optional) To use a different key pair for SSH access to the download server, change the Download License File field.
6. Click Save.
7. To confirm that the BFC can connect, click Test.

Configuring your own Download Server:

If you are setting up your own download server, it must provide SSH access from your BFC to release directories visible in the home directory of the download user.

SSH access must allow the use of RSA key pairs. If you do not have your public download key to add to the authorized_keys file in ".ssh", you can recover it from the private download key CA AppLogic initially provided:

ssh-keygen -y -f PrivateDownloadKeyFile >PublicDownloadKeyFile

or generate a new key pair:

    ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -N '' -f BFCdownloadkey -C "BFCapplogicDownload"

Follow these steps:

1. Set the following in /etc/sshd_config:
   • RSAAuthentication yes
   • PubkeyAuthentication yes
   • AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys
2. The home directory for the download user must contain the following. The home directory is applogic, unless changed.
   • An .ssh directory with an authorized_keys file containing at least your download public key
   • A directory for each release. The directory must be named with the version number, such as 3.8.6 or 3.7.14.
3. Copy the content for the release directories from local download directory on your BFC to your new download server.
