step by step to Integrate https with ibm connections

1)  Verify where kdb and sth files are stored :

Was console: security -> SSL certificate and key management -> Key stores and certificates -> CMSKeyStore (verify path)

2) Open plugin xml and verify where store sth and kdb files  then copy from websphere path (1) .

Server Types-> Web servers > webserver1 > Plug-in properties -> Plug-in key store directory and file name
If not present:

-) Configure Ihs using ibm docs then open  Was console: servertypes / webServers / webservername -> plugin options-> copy kdb to plugin folder
-) Set default cert in kdb using ikeyman

3) Configure virtual host to use ssl :


LoadModule ibm_ssl_module modules/mod_ibm_ssl.so

<IfModule mod_ibm_ssl.c>
Listen 0.0.0.0:443

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName www.mydomain.com
SSLEnable
</VirtualHost>

</IfModule>

SSLDisable
Keyfile "<path used in plugin>\plugin-key.kdb"
SSLStashFile "<path used in plugin>\plugin-key.sth"


LoadModule was_ap22_module /opt/ibm/Plugins/bin/64bits/mod_was_ap22_http.so
WebSpherePluginConfig /opt/ibm/Plugins/config/webserver1/Plugin-cfg.xml

Generate version.txt in a maven project

If you need to generate a txt with project version / timestamp in project’s root you can use an ant build like this.


<plugins>

...


<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
  	<version>1.8</version>
	<executions>
  	<execution>
	<phase>prepare-package</phase>
	<configuration>
	   <tasks>
	     <tstamp>
		<format property="now" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss" locale="it" />
		  </tstamp>
		    <echo file="<path>/version.txt" append="false">
			Project Version : ${project.version} ${line.separator}Build @ ${now}
		    </echo>
            </tasks>
         </configuration>
	    <goals>
		<goal>run</goal>
	    </goals>
	</execution>
	</executions>
</plugin>

Start H2 Db as daemon

Here my script to start H2 db as daemon under linux Os.
Please note param “-baseDir $HOME” this means that default storage path is the home of the user that start db,
change variable with absolute path to prevent new Db creation with wrong users.

 
#!/bin/sh

cd `dirname ${0}`/..

case $1 in
  help)
    java -cp <h2Path>/h2-*.jar org.h2.tools.Server -?

    java -cp <h2Path>/h2-*.jar org.h2.tools.Server -tcp -web -baseDir $HOME &
  ;;

  stop)

Add more Swap on linux Vm

How to add more swap on a linux Vm.
It can be used on a physical machine too but remember that swap is store on a file and not in a dedicate partition.

#########################sWap File
#Create Local Folder
mkdir -p /usr/local/swap/

#Create a 2Gb Local File to store swap
dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/local/swap/swapfile1 bs=1024 count=2097152 #2gb 4194304
mkswap /usr/local/swap/swapfile1

#set Grant On File
cd /usr/local/swap/
chown root:root swapfile1
chmod 0600 swapfile1

#Enable Swap
swapon swapfile1

Add this line in /ect/fstab to load swap on system startup:


/usr/local/swap/swapfile1 swap swap defaults 0 0
