Introduction

This documentation describes the processes for configuring and deploying the SignatureOne Profile Server to run on a Sun^® Java^® web application server (WebSphere^® & JBoss^®) and enterprise database server (Microsoft^® SQL Server 2000/2005 and Oracle^® 10g).

System Requirements

Application Server

• IBM^® WebSphere^® version 6.1 (www-306.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/was/)
• JBoss v4.2.2 (http://labs.jboss.com/jbossas/downloads)

Minimum System Requirements

For JBoss:

• JDK^® 1.4 or higher
• 512 MB RAM
• 100 MB hard disk space
• 400 MHz CPU

For WebSphere:

• Intel^® Pentium^® processor at 500 MHz or faster
• Intel^® EM64T or AMD Opteron™
• Minimum 512 MB physical memory; 1GB recommended

Database

• Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with SP4 and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC^® SP3 (www.microsoft.com)
• Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Driver (www.microsoft.com)
• Oracle 10g Database and Oracle JDBC Driver (www.oracle.com)

Web Browser

• Microsoft^® IE 6.0 or above

Optional

• LDAP Server v3.0

Redundancy

To ensure client access to the Profile Server, a second instance of the server is recommended. Replication of the data should be managed by the database's software. The Sign-it client software has a System Preference to setup a Primary and Secondary Server to support a redundant server. The Primary and Secondary Server settings should point to two Profile Servers that have replicated data. Setting up the Sign-it client to two Profile Servers that contain different databases is not supported.

Installation

Installing SignatureOne Profile Server

• Download and install Sun’s Java 2 SDK version J2SE^® 1.4.2_08 or later.
• Make sure the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set and points to where the J2SE SDK is installed.
• Install Microsoft SQL Server 2000/2005 database or Oracle 10g database.
• Extract and copy the  folder to the root (i.e. C:\).
  NOTE: Has to be on the same drive as your application server.
• From here on, we will refer to the directory C:\signatureone_30 as the [signatureone root] directory.

Configuring the Profile Server Properties

Extract the signatureone_30 folder to the root (i.e. C:\), navigate to the [signatureone root]/config directory and open the signatureone.properties file. Check for the following properties settings:

com.cic.signatureone.appPath=file:c:/signatureone_30/xsl/language/
com.cic.signatureone.logPath=file:c:/signatureone_30/log/
com.cic.signatureone.defaultLanguage=English

If the signatureone_30 folder is not at the root, change the properties settings in the “[signatureone root]\Config\ signatureone.properties” file to match the new location.

• IBM WebSphere
• JBoss

Getting Started

The following steps will guide you through setting up a new company, adding new group and company administrator.

1. Open the SignatureOne webpage located at http://[servername]/SignatureOne, where [servername] is the name of your server.
2. Enter Default System Administrator user ID and password to logon (ID = administrator, Password = changeme, note that the password is case-sensitive). Please create a new sysadmin account or change the password as soon as possible.

7. Click on “Return” button to go back to the user home page.
8. Click on “Search” link on the left navigation menu.
9. Select “All” in the Items to display radio button in the Search Criteria sub-menu and click on “Search” button on the bottom to display Company just created.
