The following requirements are mandatory to successfully install, configure, and operate the Transferology Connector: - Java SE 8 - If your institution is unfamiliar with java, please see Free Java 8 Implementations.
- TLSv1.2 - The Transferology web service which receives degree audits no longer supports TLSv1 or TLS v1.1. Java 8 and higher use TLSv1.2 by default.
- Java Application Server - CollegeSource recommends Tomcat 8.5.x or 9.0.x, which can be obtained from the following page: http://tomcat.apache.org/index.html
- Firewalls
- School's External firewall must allow traffic to:
- Your production Transferology Connector from www.transfer.org (18.207.24.42).
- Your test/development Transferology Connector from test.transfer.org (23.22.104.35).
- CollegeSource recommends restricting access to the Transferology Connector only after it is correctly installed and configured. Restricting access prior to this makes troubleshooting difficult.
- Internal - TCP keepalive must be enabled between your Java Application Server and database when the JDBC connection traverses an internal firewall.
- OS access - You need OS access to Java application server to perform functions such as copying and editing files
- uachieve database tables - minimum table definition version 4.4.
- uachieve audit server - When using degree audits, minimum version 4.2.2.
- Database user and password - Necessary for the Connector to access uachieve tables
- JDBC Driver - You need a JDBC Driver that is compatible with your specific database type. If you do not currently use a JDBC Driver, see one of the following pages:
- Specify the correct daversion in the cas4.properties:
- uAchieve Degree Audits - When using the degree audit functionality, define RequestHandler in uAchieve's daemonContext.xml.
