Configuring the Protector

Configuring AP C on Linux

To configure the AP C on the Linux platform:

1. Set the library path before running protect, unprotect or reprotect operations.

   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/protegrity/sdk/c/bin
   

   This makes the xcpep.plm file accessible to the Application Protector C SDK before your application initializes.

2. Ensure that the config.ini file exists in this location before starting the application. AP C resolves the config.ini file path relative to the library path:

   • AP C automatically looks for the configuration file at -

     <installation_dir>/sdk/c/data/config.ini
     

   • To use a custom location, set the PTY_APC_CONFIG environment variable to the full path of your config.ini file:

     export PTY_APC_CONFIG=/path/to/config.ini
     

For more information about configuring the various parameters for the AP C using the config.ini file, refer to Config.ini file for Application Protector.

Verifying Installation of AP C on Linux

To verify the successful installation of the AP C:

1. Deploy a policy in the ESA data store.

   For more information about deploying a policy, refer to Deploying Policies.

2. Configure the application as a trusted application in the ESA.
   For more information about trusted applications, refer to Working With Trusted Applications.

   For more information about the sample application, refer to samples installed in directory.
