How to call a native Linux library
Hi folks. We are using a site-specific cipher (encryption) SDK that our company has developed, to do encryption at rest in Pega applications. The encryption SDK (Java) in turn calls functions in native Linux (.so) libraries. How do we make the .so files available to Pega applications? Is it just a matter of making sure the .so files are on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH that is in force when Pega starts? Or is there some other way?
Thanks

Found the solution. On Linux, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the direcotry that holds the native library (.so) files. We did it in the WebSphere Admin Console and it worked. This is not Pega-specific.

I don't know of any OOTB mechanism provided in PRPC to achieve this - but PRPC is built on the Java Platform; so any solution which works on Java should be (in general) applicable to PRPC here ? JNI ?

Hi!
I've tried to do the same on a linux system by adding a .sh file to the /etc/profile.d subdirectory.
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is getting set when linux comes up; however, it appears that Pega 7 cannot see it.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why Pega 7 cannot appear to see this environment variable?
Thanks.
