Allow sites to use their own keystore alias and password

[LucaCinquini]

Currently the installer overrides the Tomcat server.xml with a default Tomcat alias of "my_esgf_node". It would be good to allow sites to specify their own value for the keystore "alias" and "password" in the esgf.properties file, and have the installer use those values.

Hi Nicolas,
maybe a better requirement would be for the installer to not override server.xml, so that if that file has been specially configured (for a variety of possible reasons), the installer does not throw those settings away.

Hi Luca,

The installer actually uses this template when tomcat is being installed or upgraded:
http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/esgf/dist/devel/externals/bootstrap/node.server.xml-v7

We could maybe add a keystorealias entry in esgf.properties if you like...

Hi Nicolas,
I think it’s a good idea…
thanks, L

OK so you will need to manually add this prop to your node config and I'll make the installer read it. But let's not ask the node admin for keystorealias value during the interactive part of the installation. Do you agree?

Hi Nicolas,
yes good plan. I love having hidden and undocumented features :)…
thanks, Luca
