Hi, 

The release of CACC is big news for several reasons. 
Greg McDonald described them in his excellent article, so I won't repeat them. I'll just add one: the ability to bypass VMWare. Most of the CA installations I've done run on Windows on VMWare, and many customers will be happy to be able to do so without it.
To be able to offer it, I need to test it first, and that's not easy. I've installed a Linux/Docker/k8 server and am trying to install CACC on it.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work :(. Helm is adapted for OpenShift, and helm install crashes.
Has anyone already done this kind of installation and could help me define the override.yaml file to work with "base" Kubernetes?
Thanks in advance

Hi Jerzy, I have been trying to connect with you!  glad you posted this, strange but I was unable to respond to your email.

I would like to discus with you further CACC if you are interested.  greg.mcdonald@ca.ibm.com.

What CM advanced parameters are you looking for?  If you download the Helm Chart there is a values.yaml which has all the defaults that can be overriden with an "override.yaml"(this file can be whatever name you want of course)

What specifically are you looking to add in contentManagerService.contentAdvancedProperties ?

Thanks Jerzy, look forward to hearing from you!

Greg

Hi Greg, 

I'm very interested in CACC, thank you in advance for your help.
I would like to install CACC on my Ubuntu/Docker/k8 platform (we are an IBM partner, but not RedHat, so no OpenShift).
I looked at the "override.yaml" file, which I modified, but I'm wondering about accessing the Content Store. In the yaml file, I specify the type of my CS database, the server, and the database name. Logically, for the connection, I should pass the username and their pwd. But I can't find any instructions on how to do this.

If you can help me, I would be very grateful, but I will have other questions as I go along ;).
In any case, thank you in advance.
