Server Installation (WIP)¶

The server runs on Debian 10 VM at https://nuada.zcu.cz/
The ip of the machine is 147.228.173.54

Hardware requirements¶

TBD, however the default settings for creating the VM seem to suffice

Software requirements¶

The server app needs Mono framework to run. Tested on version 5.18.0.240.

For mono installetion see Mono installation.

"Deploying" the Server Application¶

Uploading the project to the remote machine¶

Current approach to uploading the project is to transfer a .zip file containing the .exe file and all the dlls needed for the server to run. At the moment that is the Server\ServerApp\bin\x64\Debug directory.

$ scp {dir_name}.zip root@{machine_ip}:/home/someDir

Building the project???¶

TBD - wasn't able to build on linux yet

Mono installation (needed for building as well as running)¶

$ sudo apt install mono-complete

Certificate generation and usage¶

Generating the certificate¶

http://www.mono-project.com/archived/using-clientcertificates-with-xsp/

$ makecert -r -n "CN=My Own Test CA" -sv root.key root.cer

$ certmgr --add -c Trust root.cer

$ hostname (displays the machine's host name)

$ makecert -iv root.key -ic root.cer -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 -n "CN={hostname}" -p12 {hostname}.p12 s3kr3t

Linking the certificate to a port?¶

$ httpcfg -add -port {port} -pvk root.key -cert root.crt

Current port using the cerificate is 10000.

Adding trusted root certificates to the server (idk if this has any effect)¶

Copy your CA to dir /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
Use command: sudo cp foo.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/foo.crt
Update the CA store: sudo update-ca-certificates
