Web Console installation - Linux

Follow these steps to install the ESET PROTECT Web Console:

You can install the ESET PROTECT Web Console on a different computer than the computer running the ESET PROTECT Server. This requires additional steps.

1.Install the Apache Tomcat and Java packages. Example package names below may differ from packages available in your Linux distribution repository.

Linux distribution	Terminal commands
Debian and Ubuntu distributions	sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jdk tomcat9
CentOS and Red Hat distributions	yum update yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk tomcat
OpenSUSE	zypper refresh zypper install java-1_8_0-openjdk tomcat

2.Download the Web Console file (era.war):

wget https://download.eset.com/com/eset/apps/business/era/webconsole/latest/era.war

3.Copy the era.war file to the Tomcat folder:

Debian and Ubuntu distributions	sudo cp era.war /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/
CentOS and Red Hat distributions	sudo cp era.war /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/
OpenSUSE distribution	sudo cp era.war /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/

Alternatively, you can extract the contents of era.war to /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/era/.

4.Restart the Tomcat service to deploy the .war file:

Debian and Ubuntu distributions	sudo service tomcat9 restart
CentOS and Red Hat distributions	sudo service tomcat restart
OpenSUSE distribution	sudo service tomcat restart

5.If you installed the ESET PROTECT Web Console on a different computer than the ESET PROTECT Server, perform these additional steps to enable communication between ESET PROTECT Web Console and ESET PROTECT Server:

a)Stop the Tomcat service: sudo service tomcat stop

b)Edit the EraWebServerConfig.properties file:

sudo nano /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/era/WEB-INF/classes/sk/eset/era/g2webconsole/server/modules/config/EraWebServerConfig.properties

If the EraWebServerConfig.properties file is not located in the above path, you can use the following command to find the file on your system:

find / -iname "EraWebServerConfig.properties"

c)Find the server_address=localhost

d)Replace localhost with the IP address of your ESET PROTECT Server and save the file.

e)Restart the Tomcat service: sudo service tomcat restart

6. Open the ESET PROTECT Web Console in a supported web browser to see a login screen:

•From the computer hosting the ESET PROTECT Web Console: http://localhost:8080/era

•From any computer with internet access to the ESET PROTECT Web Console (substitute IP_ADDRESS_OR_HOSTNAME with the IP address or hostname of your ESET PROTECT Web Console): http://IP_ADDRESS_OR_HOSTNAME:8080/era

7.Configure the Web Console after the installation:

•The default HTTP port is set to 8080 during the manual installation of Apache Tomcat. We recommend that you set up an HTTPS connection for Apache Tomcat.
