Task 8: Deploy and configure the web server

In this task, you will deploy and configure the web server for Service Manager Collaboration.

Apache

Task A: Deploy the Apache HTTP server

In this task, you will deploy and configure the Apache HTTP server for Service Manager Collaboration.

Note The deployment instructions in this document are for a sample OpenSSL Apache server. If you have profound web server knowledge, you can also customize your web server by following your own business rules.

Follow these steps:

  1. Download Apache with OpenSSL (for example, httpd-2.4.xx-x64.zip for Apache 2.4, or httpd-2.2.31-x64-r3.zip for Apache 2.2) from here.

    You can also download a pre-configured Apache 2.4 from Micro Focus Marketplace.

    Extract the zip file to C:\. This unzip process creates a new C:\Apache24 directory or a new C:\Apache22 directory.

  2. (For Apache 2.4) Navigate to the C:\Apache24\conf folder.

    (For Apache 2.2) Navigate to the C:\Apache22\conf folder.

  3. Make a copy of the httpd.conf file and save it as httpd_OOB.conf.

  4. Open the httpd.conf file with a text editor.

  5. Locate httpd-vhosts.conf, and then uncomment Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf.

  6. Save and close the httpd.conf file.

  7. (For Apache 2.4) Navigate to the C:\Apache24\conf\extra directory.

    (For Apache 2.2) Navigate to the C:\Apache22\conf\extra directory.

  8. Make a copy of the httpd-vhosts.conf file and save it as httpd-vhosts_OOB.conf.

  9. (For Apache 2.4) Navigate to the C:\Apache24\bin folder.

    (For Apache 2.2) Navigate to the C:\Apache22\bin folder.

  10. Double-click httpd.exe to start the Apache server.

    The httpd.exe window opens. Click the minimize button to minimize this window.

  11. In your web browser, type http://localhost and press Enter. The following page is displayed, indicating Apache has started successfully.

  12. Close the browser.

  13. Close the Apache httpd.exe window.

    Note The steps below will install Apache as a Windows service.

  14. (For Apache 2.4) Navigate to the C:\Apache24\bin folder. Open a DOS command prompt and change the directory to C:\Apache24\bin.

    cd C:\Apache24\bin

    (For Apache 2.2) Navigate to the C:\Apache22\bin folder. Open a DOS command prompt and change the directory to C:\Apache22\bin.

    cd C:\Apache22\bin

  15. Run the httpd –k install command to install the Windows service.

    For Apache 2.4:

    For Apache 2.2:

    Note If you see an error here, navigate to the logs directory and check the error.log file. Depending on the error, you may need to repeat the steps above. To verify whether the error still exists, type httpd –k start to start Apache from the command line.

  16. (For Apache 2.4) Go to Windows Services, and start the newly installed Apache2.4 service.

    (For Apache 2.2) Go to Windows Services, and start the newly installed Apache2.2 service.

Open Apache SSL connection

Follow these steps:

  1. (For Apache 2.4) Navigate to the C:\Apache24\conf\extra directory.

    (For Apache 2.2) Navigate to the C:\Apache22\conf\extra directory.

  2. Make a copy of the httpd-ahssl.conf file and save it as httpd-ahssl_OOB.conf.

  3. Open httpd-ahssl.conf with a text editor.

  4. Locate the SSL Protocols section.

  5. Change SSLProtocol all to SSLProtocol -all +TLSv1 +TLSv1.1 +TLSv1.2 so that only TLS v1.0, TLS v1.1, and TLSv1.2 are enabled on the Apache server.

    #   SSL Protocols:
#   List the protocols that the client is permitted to negotiate.
#   See the mod_ssl documentation for a complete list.
SSLProtocol all +TLSv1 +TLSv1.1 +TLSv1.2

    Tip For more information about Apache SSL configuration, click here.

  6. Save and close the httpd-ahssl.conf file.

  7. Restart Apache server.

  8. In your web browser, type https://localhost and press Enter. The following page is displayed, indicating SSL is enabled successfully.

    Note If the following screen is displayed, click I Understand the Risks and proceed.

Task B: Connect Apache to Tomcat

In this task, you will set up Apache to connect to Tomcat through the AJP port. Consequently, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is open by default. You can perform this step rather than enable full SSL on the Service Manager environment.

Follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 8.0_SMWeb\conf directory.

  2. Open the server.xml file with a text editor.

  3. Make sure that the AJP 1.3 Connector port is set to 8009.

    <!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" />

    Note If you need to change it to another port, make a note of that port number as you will need it later in this task.

  4. Save and close the server.xml file.

Steps for Apache 2.4

Note If you are using the pre-configured Apache downloaded from Micro Focus Marketplace, skip step 1 to 15 and start with step 16.

  1. Navigate to the C:\Apache24\conf directory.

  2. Open the httpd.conf file with a text editor.

    The next few steps describe how to uncomment a number of LoadModule codes in the httpd.conf file.

  15. Save and close the httpd.conf file.

  16. Navigate to the C:\Apache24\conf directory, and then create a new file called httpd-proxy_ajp_loadbalanced.conf.

    <Proxy balancer://smcluster>
BalancerMember ajp://localhost:8009 route=161652175430301
Require all granted
</Proxy>
<Location /webtier-9.60>
Options FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
ProxyPass balancer://smcluster/webtier-9.60 stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid nofailover=On
</Location>
<Location /chatui>
Options FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
ProxyPass balancer://smcluster/chatui stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid nofailover=On
</Location>

    Caution

    • You must paste ProxyPass balancer://smcluster/webtier-9.60 stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid nofailover=On in one line.

    • You must paste ProxyPass balancer://smcluster/chatui stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid nofailover=On in one line.

  17. The script in the previous step assumes that the web tier directory is webtier-9.60 and the chat UI directory is chatui(see the line below). If your web tier or chat UI uses another name, update the httpd-proxy_ajp_loadbalanced.conf file with the actual name of your web tier.

    <Location /webtier-9.60>
balancer://smcluster/webtier-9.60
<Location /chatui>
balancer://smcluster/chatui

  18. In step 3 in this task, you configured the AJP 1.3 Connector port in the server.xml file. If this port is 8009, continue with the next step; if the connector listens on another port, update the following line in the httpd-proxy_ajp_loadbalanced.conf file with that port number.

    If Apache is deployed on the same computer in the all-in-one example described in this document, use ajp://localhost:8009. Otherwise, you need to update this value to the correct IP of Tomcat.

    BalancerMember ajp://localhost:8009 route=161652175430301

  19. Access Apache’s link with Apache’s FQDN. In this all-in-one example, access https://training.sm-demo.com/webtier-9.60/index.do, and then log on to Service Manager as a system administrator. The system displays the administrator's To Do Queue.

    If you are directed to a Logout Successful page, there may be some issues with the LW-SSO setup. Check all your files from the previous tasks and then try again.

  20. Log out from Service Manager.

Steps for Apache 2.2

  1. Navigate to the C:\Apache22\conf directory.

  2. Open the httpd.conf file with a text editor.

ProxyPass balancer://smcluster/chatui stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid nofailover=On
</Location>

    Caution

    • You must paste ProxyPass balancer://smcluster/webtier-9.60 stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid nofailover=On in one line.

    • You must paste ProxyPass balancer://smcluster/chatui stickysession=JSESSIONID|jsessionid nofailover=On in one line.

  9. The script in the previous step assumes that the web tier directory is webtier-9.60 and the chat UI directory is chatui(see the line below). If your web tier or chat UI uses another name, update the httpd-proxy_ajp_loadbalanced.conf file with the actual name of your web tier.

    <Location /webtier-9.60>
balancer://smcluster/webtier-9.60
<Location /chatui>
balancer://smcluster/chatui

  10. In step 3 in this task, you configured the AJP 1.3 Connector port in the server.xml file. If this port is 8009, continue with the next step; if the connector listens on another port, update the following line in the httpd-proxy_ajp_loadbalanced.conf file with that port number.

    If Apache is deployed on the same computer in the all-in-one example described in this document, use ajp://localhost:8009. Otherwise, you need to update this value to the correct IP of Tomcat.

    BalancerMember ajp://localhost:8009 route=161652175430301

  11. Access Apache’s link with Apache’s FQDN. In this all-in-one example, access https://training.sm-demo.com/webtier-9.60/index.do, and then log on to Service Manager as a system administrator. The system displays the administrator's To Do Queue.

    If you are directed to a Logout Successful page, there may be some issues with the LW-SSO setup. Check all your files from the previous tasks and then try again.

    Note From now on, you must use HTTPS and the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in the web tier URL when logging on to the Service Manager web client.

  12. Log out from Service Manager.

Open SSL connection to Webtier

  1. Open the web.xml file with a text editor.

  2. Locate the secureLogin parameter and set it to true.

  3. Save and close the web.xml file.

  4. Go to Windows Services and restart the Service Manager 9.60 Server service.

  5. Access https://training.sm-demo.com/webtier-9.60/index.do, and then log on to Service Manager as a system administrator. The system displays the administrator's To Do Queue.

    If you are directed to a Logout Successful page, there may be some issues with the LW-SSO setup. Check all your files from the previous tasks and then try again.

    Note From now on, you must use HTTPS and the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in the web tier URL when logging on to the Service Manager web client.

  6. Log out from Service Manager.
