This SecureLink Software utilizes Java version 1.4.2. The AIX Operating System version must be AIX 5.1.0.75 or AIX 5.2.0.10 or higher for this software to operate.

The SecureLink Software Gatekeeper runs as a restricted user (non-root). We generally recommend adding a new user (rss) to the system, and installing our software in that user's home directory (~rss), although this is not required. Regardless of which user is used, this document will simply refer to "RSS User" as the chosen user, and to $HOME as that user's home directory.

As the RSS User, download the following files into $HOME:

http://securelink.eclipsys.com/aix/eclipsysclient.tar.gz
http://securelink.eclipsys.com/aix/eclipsysvnc.tar.gz
http://securelink.eclipsys.com/aix/eclipsysjava.tar.gz

Untar and Uncompress the files. The eclipsysclient file will create the subdirectory "slink/bin" off of $HOME, the eclipsysvnc file will create "slink/vnc", and the eclipsysjava file will create "slink/java".

cd $HOME
gunzip -c eclipsysclient.tar.gz | tar xvf -
gunzip -c eclipsysvnc.tar.gz | tar xvf -
gunzip -c eclipsysjava.tar.gz | tar xvf -

If the chosen RSS User is NOT "rss", then you must modify the $HOME/slink/slinksc startup script. Modify the following line:

RSSUSER=rss

and set the RSSUSER variable to the chosen user ID.

At this point, the SecureLink Gatekeeper Listener is ready to run. To start it up manually, execute the following command as the RSS User, or as the root user:

sh $HOME/slink/slinksc start

Diagnostic log output will be placed in $HOME/slink/bin/slstarter.log.

In order for the Gatekeeper Listener to be started automatically after a reboot, it must be installed as a Service. Execute the following commands as the root user (replace $HOME below with the full path):

mkitab "slinksc:23456789:once:$HOME/slink/slinksc start > /dev/console 2>&1"

By default, the Gatekeeper Listener listens on port 4680. Refer to Changing the Default Gatekeeper Port in the Gatekeeper manual to change this value. To activate a connection, just point a browser to http://hostname:4680, where hostname is the name of the system with the Gatekeeper installed.

At this point, the Software Gatekeeper installation is complete.

To shut down the Gatekeeper Listener, execute the following command as the RSS User, or as the root user:

sh $HOME/slink/slinksc stop
