Brutus + Lorica, best configuration options

Hi Luis,

Post by Luis Correia
can you write up a very simple HOWTO for configuring the very minimum
configuration options for both the client and server?

Yes.

The client lorica configuration should be:

/etc/lorica.conf
----------------
Internal_Address localhost:4080
External_Address localhost:4082/random_alias
Generic_Evaluator yes
Collocate_IFR yes
ORB_Option -ORBSvcConf /etc/lorica_codeset.conf

/etc/lorica_codeset.conf
------------------------
static Resource_Factory "-ORBNativeCharCodeset 0x05010001 -
ORBNativeWCharCodeset 0x00010109"

e-b may then connect to port 4082 on the server side. The server
brutus and lorica configuration should be just as the are delivered by
the Windows installer, except for the lorica,conf "External_Address"
option which must be for the correct host IP.

This is with or without Lorica, althoughI got the impression that now
Lorica _is_ mandatory.

On the server yes, on the client it is very encouraged.

Best,
jules

Generic_Evaluator yes

So, no changes whatsoever in what is provided by the default config?

In e-b configuration we just put the brutus server IP and port 4082?

Ok, now, by reading the README file I no longer see the need to change
permissions for the user under which brutus-server runs.
Is this the new default or all previous configs need to be done?

Particularly, the registry permissions, the user for the brutus and
lorica services and the permissions for the mpp filesystem.

Could not construct the store - CORBA exception caught

any hint is appreciated,
Luis Correia

Please post the previous client log messages too. They should tell us
why the store construction failed.

Correct.

Yes.

The old way with the server (versions 0.x and 1.x) was that it needed
a special user to run the service and manual adjustment of directory
permissions. The 2.x or later Brutus Server is in reality a totally
different product. Just try to compare the 2.x code with the old code
and you'll see. So the need to use a special domain user isn't any more.

You don't need a special user or manual adjustment of directory
permissions at all. All directories, including the mmp directory, is
created by Brutus Server with the needed permissions already in place.
Brutus Server 2.x is very much an install-and-forget product, except
for that little detail of the External_Address option in "lorica.conf".
