Running the Vordel XML Gateway on Sun Solaris

Running the Vordel XML Gateway on Sun Solaris is very straightforward, in fact not much different than running on Windows or Linux.

First, download the SunOS version of the Vordel Gateway from here (you'll need a Vordel Extranet account first. If you're a Vordel partner or customer already then you'll have one. Otherwise email info@vordel.com to ask for one).

Decompress the installation package using a command like this, substituting the downloaded file name as appropriate:

prompt# gunzip -c [DownloadedFileName].tar.gz|tar xvf -

Now run the Vordel XML Gateway once, and you will see the host-based license information. Email this to licenses@vordel.com and we'll issue you a license.

You're all set then to connect up to the Gateway and start working with policies.

Here are some case studies of Vordel's XML Gateway on Sun hardware:

• The Spanish Government case study on the Vordel Website describes a case study of a Vordel XML Gateway deployed on Sun Solaris in front of Web Services which provide government services
• Mazda uses Vordel Gateways on Sun hardware for communications with car dealers and partners. The goal is to improve business efficiency at dealerships and head office by reducing the double keying of information, and to provide streamlined access to multiple sources of information via one interface. A full case study is available on the Vordel website.
