Properties file for AIX

Store your API key and client authentication password in a properties file. The SMCTL client will pull your API key and client certificate password from the properties file, if it is stored as .signingmanager/ssm-config.properties on your home directory.

Create properties file

To create the properties file:

  1. Open an integrated development environment (IDE) or plain text editor.

  2. Copy and paste the following:

    SM_API_KEY=<API key>
    SM_CLIENT_CERT_PASSWORD=<Client certificate password>
  3. Provide your API key and client authentication password.

  4. Name the file: ssm-config.properties.

  5. Save the file in the following location: <Home Dir>/.signingmanager/ssm-config.properties.

Anmerkung

Once your API key and client authentication certificate password is securely stored in the properties file, use the following command to set the host and client authentication certificate in SMCTL:

export SM_HOST=<host URL>
export SM_CLIENT_CERT_FILE=<P12 client authentication certificate file path>

Proxy configuration

Configure the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable if the client tool need to communicate through a proxy.

Anonymous proxy

Use this command if your proxy does not require authentication:

export HTTPS_PROXY=https://<proxy_host>:<proxy_port>

Authenticated proxy

Use this command if your proxy requires authentication:

export HTTPS_PROXY=https://user:password@<proxy_host>:<proxy_port>
