jTSS "There seems no TCS running"

Question

I want to use jTSS on my Ubuntu 14.04 64bits, I have an hardware TPM in version 1.2. I installed the .deb like said in the section 4.3 http://trustedjava.sourceforge.net/index.php?item=jtss/readme I started the daemon : jtss (TCS running)

But if I want to run the tests in your packages (run_tests_simple.sh or run_test.sh) I have the error : "Error! No TSP-TCS binding could be initialized. Both jTSS Wrapper and jTSS were tried. Check the TSP configuration file."

And with this command 'jtt tpm_version', I have the same error :

I removed trousers, but keep in /etc/group : tss:x:126:root,jtss

Answer 1

Maybe your core service daemon was not started properly and isn't running. Have you seen this message on Trustedjava-support mailinglist?

Since you are using Ubuntu 14.04, you will have a jsvc version >= 1.0.11

Try to add the line

-cwd "${ROOT}/soap" \

to the jsvc call in the start() function in /etc/init.d/jtss.

The call should look something like this after editing:

${JSVC_EXECUTABLE} -pidfile "${PIDFILE}" \
                   -cwd "${ROOT}/soap" \
                   -outfile "${LOGFILE}" \
                   -errfile '&1' \
                   -Djtss.tsp.ini.file="${LIBS}/ini/jtss_tsp.ini" \
                   -Djtss.tcs.ini.file="${LIBS}/ini/jtss_tcs.ini" \
                    ${USER:+-user "${USER}"} \
                   -wait ${TIMEOUT} \
                   -cp ${CLASSPATH_SOAP} ${EXECUTABLE}
