This document describes how to install the RSE server option of IBM® Rational® Developer for zEnterprise™ on AIX® or Linux on IBM Power Systems™.
From here on, the following names are used in this manual:
For earlier releases, including Developer for zEnterprise, Developer for System z, WebSphere® Developer for zSeries®, and IBM WebSphere Enterprise Developer, use the installation information found in the documentation included in those releases.
This document is intended for system programmers installing and configuring Developer for zEnterprise on AIX or Linux on IBM Power Systems.
This document lists in detail the different steps needed to install the RSE server component of Developer for zEnterprise. To use this document, you need to be familiar with AIX or Linux on IBM Power Systems.
The Remote System Explorer communications server (RSE server) is installed on a remote AIX, Intel Linux, or Linux on System z system, or on AIX or Linux running on IBM Power Systems.
The RSE server allows a workstation running Developer for zEnterprise to perform the following types of tasks on the connected remote host system:
This document describes how to install, use, and uninstall the RSE server on AIX or Linux running on IBM Power Systems.
The products listed in this section are all available at the time of publication for this manual. See the IBM Software Lifecycle Web site (http://www.ibm.com/software/support/lifecycle/) to see whether a selected IBM product is still available at the time that you want to use the related Developer for zEnterprise function.
The most current listing of prerequisites and corequisites is available in the Developer for System z Prerequisites Guide (SC23-7659).

The supported functions of the RSE server on AIX or Linux on Power Systems are the following:
This topic describes how to install the RSE server on AIX or Linux for IBM Power Systems.
On AIX, install the RSE server from the RSE server filesets stored in the product image.
The filesets are located in the disk1/AIXServerRuntime directory. Install with the AIX command installp. For example:
installp -agXd ./ all
On Linux, install the RSE server from the RSE server RPM packages stored in the product image.
The RPM packages are located in the disk1/PowerLinuxServerRuntime directory. Install with the Linux utility rpm. For example:
rpm -ivh *.rpmrpm -ivh *.rpm --nodepsTo allow other users to log in to the system, the system administrator must grant read and execute permissions on the directory where the RSE server is installed and on all the files and subdirectories within that directory.
To grant permissions to the owning user (root) and to all users in the root group, enter the following command at the command line:
chmod -R ug+xr rse_directorywhere rse_directory is the path of the directory where the RSE server is installed. The default path is /opt/IBM/RDPower/8.5.
To grant permissions to every user on the system, enter the following command at the command line:
chmod -R ugo+xr rse_directorywhere rse_directory is the path of the directory where the RSE server is installed. The default path is /opt/IBM/RDPower/8.5.
In both AIX and Linux on Power Systems, the RSE server daemon is started automatically when the system is started. The default port is 8050.
To configure the RSE server to use a different port:
You can configure the RSE server to use SSL authentication to provide secure connections between the server and its clients. To configure the RSE server to use SSL authentication follow these steps:
Use the keytool program provided with the Java SDK to generate a key pair (public key and associated private key). For example:
keytool -genkey -alias alias_name -validity 3650 -keystore keystore_name
-storepass keystore_password -keypass key_passwordwhere:
In the RSE server install directory, update the ssl.properties file:
daemon_keystore_file=jks_file
daemon_keystore_password=jks_password enable_ssl=true
disable_server_ssl=false
The following example shows what the command line interface looks like when the RSE server with SSL is started successfully. The first line is the command to start the server and the subsequent lines are output from that command:
# perl ./daemon.pl 4080
SSL Settings
[daemon keystore: /opt/IBM/RDz85SSL/rdzrse.jks]
[daemon keystore pw: MyKeystorePassword]
[server keystore: /opt/IBM/RDz85SSL/rdzrse.jks]
[server keystore pw: MyKeystorePassword]
Daemon running on: RDzServer.rtp.raleigh.ibm.com, port: 4080
If you want to concurrently run both secure sessions and nonsecure sessions, you must install a second instance of the RSE server and configure the ssl.properties file in the new installation directory. You cannot use a single instance of the server to run both secure sessions and nonsecure sessions concurrently.
For example, suppose that you have installed the RSE server in the default directory and you have configured it to run nonsecure sessions using the default port . Follow these steps:
daemon_keystore_file=jks_file
daemon_keystore_password=jks_password
enable_ssl=true
disable_server_ssl=false© Copyright IBM Corporation 2000, 2012.
