The County - Lilac Documentation

Mandrake Linux 8.1
Tomcat 4	A Web server and Java servlet container. It can only be accessed using https (an encrytped protocol using the secure sockets layer ([SSL]) on port 8443. I'll change it to port 443 (the default SSL port) when I get a chance. When you first contact lilac at https://lilac.sba.oakland.edu:8443 it will want to install a certificate issued by Kieran Mathieson. Install it, and all the traffic between you and the server will be encrypted. This is the way the County will eventually run, so I thought we might as well start that way. County developers are able to deploy files in /usr/tomcat/webapps/test and /usr/tomcat/webapps/county. Documentation for Tomcat is available.
ssh	This is a secure replacement for telnet. Where telnet sends all traffic in clear text, ssh encrypts everything. You need to use a ssh-capable client, like PuTTY.
scp	This is a secure replacement for ftp. County developers can use it to upload files. You need an scp client, like ???.
MySQL	Only localhost access to MySQL is allowed, so you will need to go through a local servlet to get access. Documentation is available.
Java SDK 1.4	The Sun SDK. Documentation is available.
mm.???	A JDBC driver for MySQL. Documentation is available.
