Smkeydatabase Properties File

The smkeydatabase properties file, smkeydatabase.properties, supplies the XML Signing and Validation Service and smkeytool with essential configuration parameters required to access and manage the smkeydatabase.

If an smkeydatabase is created by the SOA Security Manager installation program as part of Policy Server installation, smkeydatabase.properties is configured automatically with all of the necessary information. If an smkeydatabase is not created by the installation, the file is created, but variable parameter values are not specified.

smkeydatabase.properties is located in the following files:

• policy_server_install_dir\Config\properties (Windows)
• policy_server_install_dir/Config/properties (UNIX)

Modify this file only to change the following options:

• NativeDBName--specifies name of the key database
• DBLocation--indicates the directory where the key database resides
• DBUpdateFrequencyMinutes--specifies the frequency at which the database is read from the file system.

The smkeydatabase.properties file contains the following settings:

• DBLocation
• NativeDBName
• XMLDocumentOpsImplementation
• AffiliateIXMLSignatureImplementation
• IXMLSignatureImplementation
• EncryptedPassword
• IXMLEncryptDecryptImplementation
• DBUpdateFrequencyMinutes

Descriptions of each setting follow.
