Configuring Sample Application for Communication with RiskFort Server

The riskfort.risk-evaluation.properties file provides the parameters for the Java SDK and Sample Application to read RiskMinder Server information. Therefore, after deploying Sample Application, you must now configure it to communicate with RiskMinder Server. This file is only available after you deploy the RiskFort Sample Application WAR file, riskfort-3.1-sample-application.war.

To configure the riskfort.risk-evaluation.properties file:

1. Navigate to the riskfort.risk-evaluation.properties file on your application server.

   In Apache Tomcat, this file is available at:

   <App_Home\riskfort-3.1-sample-application>\WEB-INF\classes\properties\
   

   Here, <App_Home\riskfort-3.1-sample-application\> represents the directory path where RiskMinder application WAR files are deployed.

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. See "riskfort.risk-evaluation.properties" for more information about configuration parameters.

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, you can 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, ensure 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.
