Create an Internal Database

In a clustered configuration, you create an internal database on only Gateway 1. This database is replicated automatically to Gateway 2. The Gateway 1 database is the primary, while the Gateway 2 database is used for failover.

Follow these steps:

1. On Gateway 1, enter the following commands:

   /opt/SecureSpan/Gateway/runtime/bin/setup.sh --jdk /opt/SecureSpan/JDK
   

2. Select 2 Configure the Layer 7 Gateway.
3. Press Enter to accept the default Java VM Path.
4. Press Enter to accept the Java VM Memory Allocation [512].
5. Set the following configuration values:
   • Database Connection: Yes
     • Database Host: enter "localhost" or the Gateway hostname

       For example, enter L7host.forewardinc.com.

     • Database Port: 3306
     • Database Name: ssg
     • Database Username: any username
     • Database Password: any password

     Note: If you modify the database username and password, record these values for later use.

   • Administrative DB User: root
   • Administrative DB Password: 7layer

     Important! Do not modify the default administrative database user and password values. They reference existing default values.

   • Configure Failover Connection: No
   • SSM Username: admin
   • SSM Password: your password
   • Administrative HTTPS Listener?: No
