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:
# yum install sfa-plc sfa-client
-Note that the above command installs both sfa server (sfa-plc) and sfa client packages along with necessary dependency packages. Depending on the requirements, you may choose
-to install the appropriate one (server, client or both) for you. For e.g. to set up your own SFA server on top of your MyPLC, you need sfa-plc. On the other hand, if you plan to use an existing SFA server, you would typically need the sfa-client only.

-2) Note down the PLC_ROOT_USER and PLC_ROOT_PASSWORD of your MyPLC installation:
+2) Note down the PLC_ROOT_USER, PLC_ROOT_PASSWORD, PLC_DB_USER and PLC_DB_PASSWORD of your MyPLC installation:
# plc-config-tty
Enter command (u for usual changes, w to save, ? for help) s PLC_ROOT_USER
PLC_ROOT_USER = root@test.onelab.eu
Enter command (u for usual changes, w to save, ? for help) s PLC_ROOT_PASSWORD
PLC_ROOT_PASSWORD = test++
+Enter command (u for usual changes, w to save, ? for help) s PLC_DB_USER
+PLC_DB_USER = pgsqluser
+Enter command (u for usual changes, w to save, ? for help) s PLC_DB_PASSWORD
+PLC_DB_PASSWORD = 4a333aba-a322-41b1-9c05-90b4f34d1332
-These two configuration parameters are required for SFA server configuration
+These four configuration parameters are required for SFA server configuration

3) Configure and start SFA servers:
(a) # sfa-config-tty
- set SFA_PLC_USER to PLC_ROOT_USER
- set SFA_PLC_PASSWORD to PLC_ROOT_PASSWORD
+ set SFA_PLC_USER to PLC_ROOT_USER
+ set SFA_PLC_PASSWORD to PLC_ROOT_PASSWORD
+ set SFA_PLC_DB_USER to PLC_DB_USER
+ set SFA_PLC_DB_PASSWORD to PLC_DB_PASSWORD
write and quit
*NOTE* at this point you get a warning b/c the authorities hierarchy has not been created yet; ignore
Hierarchy: creating authority: plc
plc :

-NOTICE: table "geni$plc" does not exist, skipping
+NOTICE: table "sfa$plc" 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
-This will start Registry, Slice Manager and Aggregate Manager. Your ps command output would like:
+(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
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
