Auto-starting in Solaris 10 environments

Solaris 10 uses SMF (Service Management Facility) for creating and managing services. To enable MFT Gateway as a service perform the following:

As root user, create a user and group named mftgateway.
As root user, run the command usermod -K defaultpriv=basic,net_privaddr mftgateway to grant mftgateway user permissions to run services on ports less than 1024.
As mftgateway user, run installer for Solaris as described in Installing on Solaris.
Open the sample SMF manifest file gateway_smf.xml found in the MFT Gateway installation directory using vi or other text editor.
Change references to /opt/MFT_Gateway with the absolute path of MFT Gateway installation directory.
As root user, validate SMF manifest file using svccfg validate gateway_smf.xml command.
As root user, import SMF manifest file using svccfg import gateway_smf.xml command.
As root user, enable service using svcadm enable svc:/application/mftgateway:default command
Check that service was started successfully and not in maintenance using svcs -x mftgateway:default command.
Verify that MFT Gateway Service is running using netstat -na | grep 20881 command.
