APEL/SSMInstallation
The Secure Stomp Messenger (SSM) is used to transmit arbitrary messages using the STOMP protocol. For a description, see SSM Overview.
Installing the SSM
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT PRODUCTION-LEVEL SOFTWARE This software is distributed as an example and for testing
You can't currently download a version of the code, but if you would like a zip file please email apel-admins@mailtalk.ac.uk and we will send you a version.
Unzip the file into a directory, which is denoted as $HOME below.
Configure the SSM
cd $HOME/apel/src/ssm
The configuration file is in ssm.cfg. The SSM will be a producer, so the consumer section can be left out or given dummy values - it doesn't hurt. The file is well commented, it should be straightforward. In this file configure:
- the broker to use (host: dev.msg.cern.ch port: 6163 for testing purposes)
- the message store (suggest: $HOME/ssm)
- the certificate/key settings and CA directory
- the topic to send to (/topic/grid.accounting.cpuTest.CENTRAL)
- The DN of the consumer that messages are sent to(consumerDN: /C=UK/O=eScience/OU=CLRC/L=RAL/CN=rap.esc.rl.ac.uk/emailAddress=sct certificates@rl.ac.uk
)
- The acknowledgment topic; a sensible default is already used.
To run the SSM:
cd apel/src/ssm ./ssm-master.py
