OSCAR Installation

OBIB Connector Credentials

The Clinic Registration process creates two files obibconnector.properties and obibconnector.keystorethat need to be placed in $CATALINA_HOME on the OSCAR server. For example:

$ sudo cp obibconnector.* $CATALINA_HOME/

Then, change the owner of the files to allow tomcat to read them, and change their permissions to secure them from unauthorized read/write.

$ chown tomcat7 obibconnector.*

$ chmod 400 obibconnector.*

OSCAR UI Properties

It is recommended to set the following properties in the oscar.properties file:
