Hi,

I've succefully managed to get Mitro connect to db and started it. But I'm unable to "connect to https://localhost:8443/mitro-core", I'm getting 404. Any tips?

I think you have to try a different url, namely /mitro-core/BuildMetdata or something. I can't remember offhand but the docs should explain this

Also, some more questions ;)

1) What is this key generating procedure at the start? Any way to do this just once? Takes a lot of time on my VDS.

The keys are used when inviting a new user who does not already have an account. Precomputing the keys and keeping them around is not recommended, as anyone with access to the keys would be able to access secrets shared with new users.  The keys are generated in the background, so it should not block execution of the mitro jar.

 

2) I'm not really familiar with Java and Ant, but is it possible to compile Mitro to one jar [to rule them all] and just keep this one jar?

It's already configured that way; ant should create a single jar for you!

 

And slightly offtopic: how are things with Firefox extension? Does it work?

Thanks a lot,
Mike

Look at the command line ant server generates and invoke Java with the same args

Hi Vijay,

thanks for the answer.

I have found the jar you mentioned. I run it with java -jar -ea mitrocore.jar. However, it quits with exceptions:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to load signing key
        at co.mitro.core.server.SecretsBundle.<init>(SecretsBundle.java:54)
        at co.mitro.core.server.Main.main(Main.java:302)
Caused by: org.keyczar.exceptions.KeyczarException: Error reading file: mitrocore_secrets/sign_keyczar/meta
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: mitrocore_secrets/sign_keyczar/meta (No such file or directory)

Is there anything I should run in order to get it running?

I would like to clarify that before that I was running it with "ant server", however I would really like to run it as a standalone jar.

Thanks,

M.

The regression test does that. You will find stuff to preconpute checked in.  You can also reduce chahge the constant that governs how many keys are precomputed and how long they take to expire

What if I still want to precompute keys in order to make it faster to start up with an init script? I do realize security risks, but I'm planning to use it myself only.
