Sigul Bridge Setup
1) Create an NSS database on the bridge, to hold the certificate information *AS user sigul issue the following
- bridge_dir=/var/lib/sigul <-- This variable should be set to the location where sigul resides on the system - certutil -d $bridge_dir -N <-- This will generate a new NSS database for the bridge at the location of the bridge_dir variable
|Be sure to remember your NSS Password|
2) Now generate the CA (Certificate Authority) certificate, to be used accross all sigul components
- certutil -d $bridge_dir -S -n my-ca -s 'CN=My CA' -t CT,, -x -v 120 <-- Be sure to replace my-ca with whatever your desire your CA to be named, such as sigul-ca for example.
3) Create a certificate for the bridge
5) After editing the config and setting up the certs, it is time for a test drive issue the following * AS ROOT:
- sigul_bridge -v -v <-- This will start the bridge in DEBUG mode, and all information will be logged in /var/log/sigul_bridge
* Check the log file after starting sigul, if there are no errors you are good to go.
- Stop the sigul_bridge CRTL-C and start the service: service sigul_bridge start
