Setting Up a Production System

Install Brand Mobiliser on an AIX, Linux, or Windows machine to run in a production system.

Some steps vary depending on enterprise IT policies and deployment landscape; use them as a starting point for consultation and discussion with your system architect.

  1. Installing Brand Mobiliser
    Install Brand Mobiliser on AIX, Linux, or Windows machines. After you install Brand Mobiliser, it is ready to run as a development system, using the embedded Apache Derby database.
  2. Hashing the Admin Password
    Run the password-hashing tool for the admin user password, and insert it into the database script that creates the admin user. The hashed password is stored in the database.
  3. Configuring New Database Installations
    Brand Mobiliser installs with an embedded Apache Derby database that you can use for development and testing. For production, use either an IBM DB2 or an Oracle database.
  4. Enabling Encryption
    After you enable encryption, you can encrypt any Brand Mobiliser property value. By default, encryption is disabled.
  5. Configuring Authentication
    By default, when you log in to the Brand Mobiliser Web UI, authentication is performed using the built-in database model (authentication.bean=AuthenticationManager). You can reconfigure authentication to use an LDAP system.
  6. Configuring the Event Scheduler JDBC Driver
    To manage events that trigger event applications, configure the JDBC database driver that the event scheduler uses. The event scheduler is based on the Quartz scheduler.
  7. Starting the Server
    Start the Brand Mobiliser server.
  8. Launching the Brand Mobiliser Web UI
    Use a Web browser to launch the Brand Mobiliser Web UI and log in to the server.
