5.5.2 Configuring LiveCycle using Partial Turnkey Custom Mode

Note: If you plan to install Correspondence Management Solution, ensure that you have run the Correspondence Management Solution installer before running the Configuration Manager. For more information, see Installing Correspondence Management Solution.
Note: Press F1 in Configuration Manager to view Help information for the screen you are viewing. You can view the configuration progress at any time by clicking View Progress Log.

5.5.2.1 Configure LiveCycle using Custom Mode

  1. If you are continuing from the LiveCycle installation, proceed to step 3; otherwise, navigate to the [LiveCycle root]\configurationManager\bin folder and run ConfigurationManager.bat.

  2. When prompted, select the language to use, and then click OK.

  3. On the Welcome to Adobe LiveCycle ES3 screen, click Next.

  4. On the Upgrade Task Selection screen, ensure that Upgrade from LiveCycle ESU1, and Upgrade from LiveCycle ES2 or ES2.5 are deselected. If you are performing a LiveCycle ES3 upgrade, review the appropriate LiveCycle turnkey upgrade guide.

5.5.2.2 Configuring data source and Application Server

  1. On Flexible Turnkey Installation screen, do one of the following tasks:
    • Leave the Skip dataSource configuration option deselected to configure the data source, and then click Next.

    • Select the Skip dataSource configuration option if you have already configured the data source, and click Next.

    This screen will appear only if you have already configured the datasource.

  2. On the Datasource configuration screen, enter the appropriate information to configure the database connection string and click Test Database Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
    Note: If the database server is not running or is not set up yet, you can still configure the data source; however, the Test Database Connection will result in a failure message.
  3. On the Application Server configuration screen, click Configure, and then click Next.

Important: If you are using the SQL Server database, ensure that you turn on the Windows Authentication Mode for SQL Server after configuring application server on this screen. For detailed steps, see 5.4.3.2 Integrated security.

5.5.2.3 Select Configuration Mode and Correspondence Management Solution

  1. On the Turnkey Mode screen, select Custom Mode and click Next to proceed to the next section. Custom Mode allows you to customize the system configuration and requires some additional knowledge.

5.5.2.5 Selecting Tasks

On the Task Selection screen, ensure that all the available tasks are selected, and then click Next.

Note: The Configure Application Server and Validate Application Server Configuration tasks are not available for selection for JBoss turnkey. The JBoss turnkey method does not support these tasks because the application server is already configured for LiveCycle.

5.5.2.6 Configuring LiveCycle EAR, Fonts, and GDS

  1. On the Configure LiveCycle (1 of 5) screen, click Configure and, when the EAR files have been configured, click Next. Depending on the number of modules that are included in the configuration, this process may take several minutes to complete.

  2. On the Configure LiveCycle (2 of 5) screen, set the directories that LiveCycle will use to access fonts and then click Next.

    Edit the configuration only if you are required to change any of the values on this screen.
    • (Optional) To change the default location of the Adobe server fonts directory, type the path or browse to the directory. The default path is [LiveCycle root]/fonts.

    • In the Customer fonts directory box, you can choose to specify a new location for your customer fonts.

      Note: Your right to use fonts provided by parties other than Adobe is governed by the license agreements provided to you by such parties in connection with those fonts, and is not covered under your license to use Adobe software. Adobe recommends that you review and ensure that you are in compliance with all applicable non-Adobe license agreements before using non-Adobe fonts with Adobe software, particularly with respect to use of fonts in a server environment.
    • (Optional) To change the default location of the System fonts directory, type the path or browse to the directory.

    • (Optional) To enable FIPS, ensure that Enable FIPS is selected. Select this option only if you require the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) to be enforced.

      Note: Any modification to the System fonts directory or Enable FIPS values made on this screen will not be configured during an upgrade process. You must manually update your system fonts directories and enable the FIPS option in Administration Console after configuration is complete. See “Core Configurations” in the LiveCycle Administration Help.
  3. On the Configure LiveCycle (3 of 5) screen, accept the default location for the Location of the temporary directory, or enter the path or browse to it. Click Next to continue.

  4. On the Configure LiveCycle (4 of 5) screen, accept the default location for the Global document storage directory path, or click Browse to specify the fully qualified path. Click Next to continue.

    The default location is [JBoss root]/server/lc_turnkey/svcnative/DocumentStorage

  5. On the Configure Persistent Document Storage (5 of 5) screen, select either Use GDS or Use Database. Click Configure to configure the persistent document storage method and when the process has finished, click Next

5.5.2.7 Configuring Acrobat For PDF Generator

  2. On the Configure LiveCycle Summary screen, click Next.

5.5.2.8 Configure turnkey JBoss SSL

On the Configure Turnkey JBoss SSL screen, add the information to configure the SSL certificate and click Configure JBoss SSL, when complete click Next.

You can skip this step if you have not installed Reader Extensions and configure it later in the Administration Console.

  • Certificate Alias: The alternate unique name that is used to reference the certificate (for example, LiveCycleCertCert).

  • Keystore filename: The name of the keystore that is assigned to store the keys and the certificate (for example, lces).

5.5.2.9 Install verification samples

 (Forms, Output and PDF Generator only) On the LiveCycle ES3 Installation Verification Sample (IVS) EAR files screen, you can install three service-specific sample applications. Select Include IVS EARs in deployment set and click Next to install these sample files.

adobe-output-ivs-jboss.ear and adobe-forms-ivs-jboss.ear appears only if you have selected respective modules in Modules screen.

Note: Do not deploy the IVS EAR files to a production environment.

5.5.2.10 Deploy LiveCycle EARs

On the Deploy LiveCycle ES3 EAR files screen, select the EAR files you want to deploy to JBoss, click Deploy and when complete, click Next.

5.5.2.11 LiveCycle Database Initialization

On the LiveCycle Database Initialization screen, verify the host and port information, and then click Initialize. The database initialization task creates tables in the database, adds default data to the tables, and creates basic roles in the database. When the initialization completes successfully, click OK on the dialog and manually restart the JBoss server and then click Next.

Note: Do not skip this step. Initialization does not harm legacy data.

5.5.2.12 LiveCycle server Information

On the LiveCycle information screen, type the LiveCycle ES3 User ID and password, and click Verify Server Connection. When the validation is complete, click Next.

Important: By default, the LiveCycle ES3 User ID is administrator and the password is password. After completing the initial configuration, change the default password in Administration Console.

The server information that appears on this screen represents default values for the deployment. Verifying the server connection helps narrow troubleshooting in case failures occur in the deployment or validation. If the connection test passes but deployment or validation fails in the next few steps, connectivity issues can be eliminated from the troubleshooting process.

5.5.2.13 Central Migration Bridge Service Deployment Configuration

Select Include Central Migration Bridge service in deployment if you are licensed to configure LiveCycle with Central Pro or Web Output Pak, and then click Next.

5.5.2.14 LiveCycle Components Deployment

The components deployed at this time are Java archive files that plug into the service container that is part of LiveCycle for purposes of deploying, orchestrating, and executing services. When the deployment has completed successfully, click Next.

  2. On the LiveCycle Component Deployment Validation screen, click Validate. Configuration Manager validates that the Java archive files are deployed to and running on the LiveCycle server. When the validation is completed successfully, click Next.
