How to configure your application to used the ROLES test database.

The migration to using the ROLES test database is done in your application's property file.  There are 3 new entries and 2 changes to existing properties that musts be made.

1. The new properties
   
   • roles.function.category - this property may already exist in your properties file but it's value may change.
   • roles.proxy.user - this is a new property
   • webservices.mitrolesws.url - this property may already exist in your properties file but it's value may change.
     
     
2. The properties to be changed are:
   
   • webservices.keyStore - this property already exists in your properties file but it's value may change.
   • webservices.mitroles.url - this property already exists in your properties file but its value may change.

The property values that are to be used

The values of each of the above properties are dependent on what keyStore that you have configured in your applicaiton's properties file.

1. If your are currently using the registrar.jks or the registrar-test.jks keystore, the values for the new/changed properties are as follows:

   roles.function.category=REG roles.proxy.user=REG$TST webservices.mitrolesws.url=https://ws-test.mit.edu/rolesws/services/roles webservices.keyStore=/path/to/registrar-test.jks webservices.mitroles.url=https://ws-test.mit.edu/uaws/services/ua

   
   be sure to change /path/to in the above to the actual path to the registrar-test.jks keystore.
   
   
2. If your are currently using the sfs.jks or the sfs-test.jks keystore, the values for the new/changed properties are as follows:
