Disclaimers:

Some information has been copied from other forums

I have not tested that renewal of letsencrypt certificate using the bash file is accepted by era and mdc

Suggested configuration for solely running ESET ERA and MDC is 4 cores and 2 GB ram, anything lower runs abysmally slow.

I am currently using this configuration on woothosting (cheapest that I could find)

All commands are assuming clean vps instance as root user with no other applications to be running or to be run in future.

Some components installed may be of no use. I don't know enought to remove them.

Please substitute domain names and passwords with your own.

Please feel to post corrections or better methods of doing what I have already done.

Install ESET

((wait 2 minutes to let the server start, repeat commands if cannot connect to db or other errors after 2 mins break or reboot the vps and check whether era server is running by entering : service era* status ))

To Make ERA the default app in Tomcat so that directly typing the domain will launch ERA and you will not have to enter /era at the end of the domain to access era
-----------------------------------------------------------
 
 
cd /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/
rm -r ROOT
rm -r era
mv era.war ROOT.war
service tomcat7 restart
 
-----------------------------------------------------------
 
 
 
 
 
To redirect all http traffic from tomcat to https
-----------------------------------------------------------
 
 
nano  /etc/tomcat7/web.xml
((Add below configuration but make sure to add it after all the servlet mapping tags.))
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Entire Application</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
service tomcat7 restart
 
enter https://domain.com:9980 in your web browser to check MDM server is up
enter domain.com in your web browser and login using the webconsole password that you have set earlier.
