Install the Secure Event Connector on your CDO Connector Virtual Machine

Before you begin

This is the third of three steps you need to complete in order install and configure your Secure Event Connector (SEC). If you have not already, complete these two task before continuing with this procedure:

Procedure

Step 1

Log in to CDO.

Step 2

From the CDO menu, choose Tools & Services > Secure Connectors.

Step 3

Select the CDO Connector that you installed using the procedure in the prerequisites above. In the Secure Connectors table, it will be called a Secure Event Connector.

Step 4

Click Deploy an On-Premises Secure Event Connector in the Actions pane on the right.

Step 5

In step 2 of the wizard, click the link to Copy SEC Bootstrap Data.

Step 6

Connect to the Secure Connector using SSH and log in as the cdo user.

Step 7

Once logged in, switch to the sdc user. When prompted for a password, enter the password for the "cdo" user. Here is an example of those commands: 

[cdo@sdc-vm ~]$ sudo su sdc
[sudo] password for cdo: <type password for cdo user>
[sdc@sdc-vm ~]$

Step 8

At the prompt, run the sec.sh setup script:

[sdc@sdc-vm ~]$ /usr/local/cdo/toolkit/sec.sh setup

Step 9

At the end of the prompt, paste the bootstrap data you copied in step 4 and press Enter.

Please copy the bootstrap data from Setup Secure Event Connector page of CDO:

After the SEC is onboarded, the sec.sh runs a script to check on the health of the SEC. If all the health checks are "green," the health check sends a sample event to the Event Log. The sample event shows up in the Event Log as a policy named "sec-health-check."

If you receive a message that the registration failed or that the SEC onboarding failed, go to Troubleshooting Secure Event Connector Onboarding Failures.

If you receive the success message, click Done in the Deploy an ON-Premise Secure Event Connector dialog box.You have finished installing an SEC on a your VM image.

Step 10

Continue to "What to do next."
