Chapter 2. Setting up a Content Manager OnDemand instance 21
Setting up Secure Sockets Layer
Setting up Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is optional. If you decide to use SSL, complete the 
following steps:
1. Create the key database and store it in the config subdirectory of the Content Manager 
OnDemand server installation directory:
/opt/IBM/ondemand/V9.5/config 
To create the key database, run a command that is similar to the following command:
gsk8capicmd_64 -keydb -create -db "ondemand.kdb" -pw "myKeyDBpasswd" -stash 
-populate
2. Create a digital certificate.
3. Configure the Content Manager OnDemand for AIX server. Add the following lines to the 
ARS.INI file:
SSL_PORT=port_number
SSL_KEYRING_FILE=/opt/IBM/ondemand/V9.5/config/ondemand.kdb
SSL_KEYRING_STASH=/opt/IBM/ondemand/V9.5/config/ondemand.sth
SSL_KEYRING_LABEL=IBM Content Manager OnDemand
SSL_CLNT_USE_SSL=0
4. Restart the Content Manager OnDemand server.
Storing user IDs and passwords in a stash file
Y ou can store user IDs and passwords in stash files (encrypted files). By storing passwords in 
a stash file, you can improve security because you do not need to specify the password on 
the command line, where the password might be visible to others.
To store the user IDs and passwords in a stash file, complete the following steps:
1. Create a stash file by running the arsstash command. The command prompts you for the 
password. For a description of the syntax of the arsstash command and an example of 
the command, see “Syntax of the ARSSTASH command” in the IBM Content Manager 
OnDemand for Multiplatforms - Installation and Configuration Guide, SC18-9232.
2. Save the stash file in a directory with limited access to that file. Y ou can set this access by 
using file permissions.
When you configure the Content Manager OnDemand instance, you modify the ARS.INI file to 
include the SRVR_OD_STASH parameter and specify the directory that you specified in step 2:
SRVR_OD_STASH=/opt/IBM/ondemand/V9.5/config/ars.stash
Installing and configuring Tivoli Storage Manager
Before you begin, familiarize yourself with configuring and managing server storage, as 
described in theTivoli Storage Manager for AIX Administrator’s Guide, GC32-0768. In 
addition, the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX Administrator’s Reference, SC32-0123, 
provides information about all of the commands that are used in this section. This book is  
your primary reference when you work with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager. If you encounter 
problems while you configure Tivoli Storage Manager or if the examples in this section do not 
provide the information that you need to define your server storage devices, policies, and 
operations, see these Tivoli Storage Manager publications.
