Quine Enterprise Setup

Prerequisites

Quine Enterprise requires a valid license key to run. To obtain a license key:

Warning

Quine Enterprise authenticates against thatDot servers with your license key, meaning Quine Enterprise requires an open internet connection to authenticate and start.

Getting Started with Quine Enterprise

Getting started is easy:

  1. Download the software - this is a Java JAR file, if you would prefer a Docker Container please contact the thatDot Support team (support@thatdot.com).
  2. Create a configuration file (.conf extension) containing the license key and place it adjacent to your downloaded JAR file (in the same directory). This is just a plain text file.
  3. Start your instance of Quine Enterprise

Download the Software

After obtaining a license, thatDot will provide you with a secure download link for the Quine Enterprise JAR file. Download the file to your local machine or server.

Create the Configuration File for Quine Enterprise

Create a configuration file containing your license key. This file has a .conf extension and should be placed in the same directory as your JAR file.

quine {
  license-key = "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY"
}

Start Instance of Quine Enterprise

Start Quine Enterprise with your configuration file using the following command (in this example, the file is called quine-enterprise.conf):

java -jar -Dconfig.file=quine-enterprise.conf quine-enterprise.jar

You can also choose to configure your instance on the command line when launching an instance instead of using a configuration file:

java -jar -Dquine.license-key=YOUR_LICENSE_KEY quine-enterprise.jar

Configuring Proxy Settings for Quine Enterprise

When deploying Quine Enterprise in a network environment that requires proxy traversal, you can configure the application to route traffic through a proxy server. This is achieved by specifying the appropriate Java system properties:

  • http.proxyHost
  • https.proxyHost
  • http.proxyPort
  • https.proxyPort

Here is how you can configure these when running the jar:

java \
  -Dhttp.proxyHost=<PROXY_HOST> \
  -Dhttp.proxyPort=<PROXY_PORT> \
  -Dhttps.proxyHost=<PROXY_HOST> \
  -Dhttps.proxyPort=<PROXY_PORT> \
  -Dquine.license-key=<LICENSE_KEY> \
  -jar quine-enterprise.jar

Logging sensitive information

By default, Quine Enterprise will redact sensitive information from logs. If you would like to disable this redaction, you can set the -Dquine.log-config.show-unsafe system property to true to see log redacted information.

Example

java -Dquine.log-config.show-unsafe=true -jar quine-enterprise.jar
