This installation note assumes that you have installed and configured MyPLC in the usual manner, and you have set up your yum repo like for a MyPLC install.
+
+Once you have completed the server configuration, a brief introduction to the SFA user tools is here:
+ http://svn.planet-lab.org/wiki/SFAGuide

-----
1) Install the SFA packages:
Import: creating table for authority plc.pl
NOTICE: table "sfa$plc$pl" does not exist, skipping
-(c) # service sfa start
+(c) run sfa-config-tty again and select q to come out of the config command
+This will initialize /etc/sfa/authorities/server.key from /etc/sfa/authorities/plc/plc.pkey
+(d) # service sfa start
This will start Registry, Slice Manager and Aggregate Manager. Your ps command output would look like:
# ps -ef | grep python
-root 24944 1 0 May11 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/sfa-server.py -r -d
-root 24957 1 0 May11 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/sfa-server.py -a -d
-root 24970 1 0 May11 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/sfa-server.py -s -d
+root 24944 1 0 May11 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/sfa-start.py -r -d
+root 24957 1 0 May11 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/sfa-start.py -a -d
+root 24970 1 0 May11 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/sfa-start.py -s -d

4) Configure SFA client:
(a) # mkdir ~/.sfi
- (b)copy your private key to ~/.sfi/username.pkey Replace username with your actual account name
+ (b)copy your private RSA key to ~/.sfi/username.pkey Replace username with your actual account name. NOTE: DSA KEYS WILL NOT WORK
(c) # cp /etc/sfa/sfi_config ~/.sfi/
(d) edit ~/.sfi/sfi_config. A sample configuration looks like:
- export SFI_AUTH=plc.pl
- export SFI_USER=plc.pl.root
- export SFI_REGISTRY=http://vplc25.inria.fr:12345/
- export SFI_SM=http://vplc25.inria.fr:12347/
+ SFI_AUTH='plc.pl'
+ SFI_USER='plc.pl.root'
+ SFI_REGISTRY='http://vplc25.inria.fr:12345/'
+ SFI_SM='http://vplc25.inria.fr:12347/'
- (e) # source ~/.sfi/sfi_config

5) Testing:
