Overview

Amazon services are usually configured using an Amazon Resource Name (ARN). An ARN typically requires a user's account number and the region where the solution is deployed. This step defines these values so that the functions of DragonConnect may use them.

General Configuration

DragonConnect relies upon a set of general configuration options including information needed to configure the Amazon services as well as the application.

The configuration script is located from the root of the DragonConnect project in the config/index.js file

$ cd config

Amazon Account Number and Region

DragonConnect requires the AWS deployment region and an account number. An assumption is made that you are the owner of the account and may not work if you are using another account. For example, if your account number is 012345678901 and DragonConnect will be deployed in the us-east-1 region then update the config/index.js configuration file to

region: 'us-east-1',
accountNumber: '012345678901',

Certificate Registry

The certificate registry defines the location of where the certificates of the things will be stored. This directory is specified relative to the user's home directory

admin: {
  registry: 'arrow/registry'
}

The setting of 'arrow/registry' will result in the certificates being stored in the directory

cd ~/arrow/registry/${THING_ID}

This setting should be the same for that of the DragonPulse application and will result in certificates generated by the either application being stored in the same location. If the registry setting of each application is different, then the generated certificates will be stored in the directory specified by that of the respective application.
