The server for the banking system.
Installation
Requirement
- 1 network card
- 1 T3 data card
Installing from oppm
- run
oppm install bank_server
- run
rc bank_server enable
- run
rc bank_server start
On first startup the server will generate it's default configuration file and encryption keys. If the keys are missing they will be regenerated but all account data and all signed credit cards will be lost.
bank_api client config
The connect to the server, clients use the bank_api lib. This api need to know the server address.
Some clients (bank_atm
, bank_client
, bank_amount_maker
) need a extra configuration value. This secret provided by the server authenticate the client for sensitive operation that could break the economy.
To generate the client configuration take out it's network card and use generateClientAPIconfig <clientName>
. It will prompt you to swap the server's network card with the client's one to get it's address. This will create a file called clientName.conf
. Copy this file as /etc/bank/api/conf.conf
on the client machine.
You can generate a generic configuration file for unauthenticated client (vending
) with generateClientAPIconfig -n <clientName>
.
rc
The server can take one argument in the /etc/rc.cfg
file :
bank_server = "verbose"
If set, the server will log all it's operation with clear unencrypted data in /tmp/bank_server.log
. Useful for debugging purpose. It is best to leave disabled for normal use as there is no limit to the file size.
