Install Smartcrypt on RHEL from Start to Finish - not connected to a domain

  1. Obtain the installer from PKWARE and install

    CODE
    sudo rpm -i Smartcrypt_CLI-15.20.0014-x86_64.rpm	
  2. Switch to the user's home directory and create a folder called .PKWARE and change to that directory

    CODE
    mkdir .PKWARE
    cd .PKWARE/
  3. Using  your favorite editor, create a file called settings.json, then enter your CMD's URL

    CODE
    nano settings.json
    CODE
    {
    "CMDS":"https://mh-tde-smds.mh.int/MDS"
    }
    
    

    Ensure you have https and note that the installation directory is case sensitive. MDS is not the same as mds.

  4. Configure the agent to use a user account

    CODE
     /usr/pkware/pkzip/bin/pkagent --config --email foo@bar.int --iwa foobar
  5. Import Trusted Root certificate

    CODE
    Copy the certificate to /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors and run "update-ca-trust"

    Self signed certs are not supported.  You must use a root cert or set "DisableSSLVerify":true in the settings.json file

  6.  Test the configuration by listing the Smartkeys for the account being used

    CODE
    [mike_he@dayts-centos1-64 .PKWARE]$ pkzipc -listsm
