MobileFirst Server live update service configuration details
The live update service is packaged as a WAR application for us to deploy to the application server. We need to make some specific configurations for this application.
Before proceeding, review Manual installation on Apache Tomcat for the configuration details that are common to all services.
The live update service WAR file is in mfp_install_dir/MobileFirstServer/mfp-live-update.war.
The context root of the live update service must define in this way: /<adminContextRoot>config. For example, if the context root of the administration service is /mfpadmin, then the context root of the live update service must be /mfpadminconfig.
Data source
The JNDI name of the data source for the live update service must be defined as jdbc/ConfigDS. Declare it as a resource in the <Context> element.
Security roles
The security role available for the live update service application is configadmin.
At least one user must be mapped to this role. The user and its password must be provided to the following JNDI properties of the administration service:
- mfp.config.service.user
- mfp.config.service.password
