Create a Directory Structure with Ownerships on the Remote Storage Server

The following procedure assumes the remote storage server is not a CA Enterprise Log Manager server and that you need to create new users, a group, and a directory structure that mirrors that of a CA Enterprise Log Manager server. You must perform this procedure before you send the key from the reporting server, since you use the caelmadmin account you create to communicate with the reporting server.

To create a file structure and set file ownerships on the remote storage server

1. Log into the remote storage server, RSS, through ssh as root.
2. Create a new user called caelmadmin.
3. Create a group called caelmservice and then create a new user called caelmservice.
4. Create the directory to use as the Remote Location, where the default is /opt/CA/LogManager.

   Note: To use a different directory, be sure to specify that directory when you configure Remote Location for Auto Archive.

5. Change the home directory for caelmservice to /opt/CA/LogManager or the planned Remote Location directory. The following example assumes the default directory:

   usermod -d /opt/CA/LogManager caelmservice
   

6. Set the file permissions for caelmservice. The following example assumes the default Remote Location directory:

   chown -R caelmservice:caelmservice /opt/CA/LogManager
   

7. Change directories to /opt/CA/LogManager or the Remote Location alternative.
8. Create the .ssh folder.
9. Change the ownership of the .ssh folder to the caelmservice user and group:

   chown caelmservice:caelmservice .ssh
   

10. Log off of the remote storage server.
