IBE Library Setup

Installing IBE Library

After compiling the IBE Library (see Compiling the IBE Library), the following steps are necessary to install it in a cloudlet:

1. Copy the ibe and gen executables to the /usr/local/bin/ folder.
2. Create the /usr/local/etc/ibe/ folder, and copy the ibe.cnf and gen.cnf configuration files to that folder.

Enabling IBE Library

To enable the use of the IBE Library in the Cloudlet Manager to generate the pairing credentials, do the following:

1. Open the Pycloud Cloudlet Manager configuration file (/etc/pycloud_manager.ini in a deployment environment, or ./development_manager.ini in a development environment).

2. In the line with the key pycloud.credentials_type set the value to IBE.

3. If Pycloud Cloudlet Manager was running, restart it.
