JP1 Version 12 JP1/Navigation Platform Setup and Operations Guide


4.9 Procedure for implementing user authentication after setting up Navigation Platform

This section describes the procedure for changing a Navigation Platform environment that was set up without configuring user authentication to an environment that uses user authentication.

  1. Stop the system if it is running.

    For details about how to stop the system, see 5.1 Starting and stopping the system.

  2. Use the npdatabackup command (back up environment) to back up the data from the Operational Contents and setting files.

    For details about how to perform backups, see 5.2.1 Backup frequency and the data to be backed up.

    For details about the command, see 9.6 npdatabackup command (back up environment).

  3. Perform the unsetup procedure on Navigation Platform.

    For details about how to perform unsetup of Navigation Platform, see 4.7 Unsetup procedure.

  4. Depending on the type of user authentication to be used, prepare for the setup by consulting one of the following sections:

    4.2 Setup preparations when using Active Directory for user authentication

    4.3 Setup preparations when using JP1/Base for user authentication

  5. Perform the setup procedure on Navigation Platform.

    For details about how to perform setup of Navigation Platform, see 4.5 Setup procedure.

  6. Use the npimport command (import Operational Contents) to restore the Operational Content data that was backed up in step 2.

    Example of executing the npimport command

    npimport -d backup-destination-directory-from-step-2\contents.zip

    For details about the command, see 9.10 npimport command (import Operational Contents).

  7. Restore the user message properties file (ucnp_message_user.properties) that was backed up in step 2 by copying it.

    Source directory for user message properties file

    backup-destination-directory-from-step-2\HNP\conf

    Destination directory for user message properties file

    Navigation-Platform-installation-directory\conf

  8. Update the new user property file with the contents of the user property file (ucnp_user.properties) that was backed up in step 2.

    Location of backed-up user property file

    backup-destination-directory-from-step-2\HNP\conf

    Location of new user property file

    Navigation-Platform-installation-directory\conf

    Important

    If you simply overwrite the new user property file with the backed-up user property file, you will lose the properties that were set during setup and Navigation Platform will not work. You must therefore edit the new user property file so that it reflects the contents of the backed-up user property file.

  9. If necessary, change the values specified for the following properties in the user property file.

    • If you want to display the Logout button in the Operational Content Execution Window and Operational Content Editing Window, set the ucnp.base.server.logoutbutton.display property.

  10. Restart Navigation Platform.

    For details about how to restart the system, see 5.1 Starting and stopping the system.
