Preconditions

The following preconditions must be met before you can install the SSE Proxy:

• You have the credentials needed to access CCI Europe's software repositories.

• The JDK is installed on your sse-proxy-host.

Choosing an installation method

Until recently, all CUE-supplied components including the SSE Proxy had to be installed by manually downloading and unpacking archive files. This is no longer the case. SSE Proxy is now available as a deb package (for installing on Ubuntu/Debian systems) and as an rpm package (for installation on RedHat/CentOS systems). This is now the recommended method of installing SSE Proxy, although it is still possible to use the old method based on manually downloading and unpacking an archive.

Using the new package installation method offers many advantages over the old manual installation procedure:

• It is faster and quicker

• It is significantly less error-prone

The old installation method will continue to be documented for the moment.

The new method installs the SSE Proxy's configuration file in /etc/escenic/sse-proxy, whereas the old method installs it in /opt/escenic/sse-proxy1.0.5-3/configuration. This manual describes the file as located in /etc/escenic/sse-proxy. If you installed using the old method, you can create a link to /opt/escenic/sse-proxy1.0.5-3/configuration in /etc/escenic so that the file is visible in the expected location.
