Security Environment

Getting Started with this AMI

• For description of the command line interface to EC2 and an introduction to the service go to Amazon's http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/GettingStartedGuide/
• If you prefer a graphical tool the most popular and the one we used to build our offerings is the Elastifox FireFox plug-in. This plug-in is limited to the FireFox web browser. The user guide which also includes basic information about the EC2 environment can be found here http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/GettingStartedGuide/
• Amazon has an EC2 management tool in beta that runs on a variety of browsers and has functionality similar to Elastifox. Some of our team has been using it an it has been stable for us. The EC2 console and the documentation for it can be found here https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home

Please note the following about this particular AMI.

• While there is no charge for use of the Sybase software, you will be billed by Amazon for running the AMI and for storage.
• When you create your AMI instance, you will get a new Windows Administrator password.
• A replication server is designed to auto-start when the AMI is booted
• When you launch your AMI instance the first time, you will be prompted to accept the Sybase Developer Edition license agreement. With acceptance, you will be licensed for development use only.
• Sybase Central is installed and there is a link to it on the desktop
• The sample RepServer is registered within Sybase Central (it's called DEMORS, and uses an embedded database for the RSSD), The administrator user id is 'sa', with no password.
• Sybase Central has been installed / configured so you can use it to manage the database
• The RepServer (and eRSSD) are designed to listen on the 'localhost' network interface (they had to be so that the RS could even build). You must alter the sql ini file in order to replicate data in and out of the AMI.
• RepServer manager is installed, but it's not currently built. This is an option for the user.
