SON Configuration - Version 1.5.19

SON configuration file

Example Config following SON config file is used as a template for SON test network.

Each node will require fine tuning to this config file, to set the parameters specific to that node.

On config file recreation, default values will be assigned to some of the properties, but some of them need to be changed or added manually for more complex testing environment.

To find values you need to put into config file, for particular SON, you need to get full SON Account info and its private key, using cli_wallet. Execute these commands with initialized wallet.

# get SON info for SON owned by sonaccount01
get_son sonaccount01

# response will be similar to this
# get_son sonaccount01

Configuring a Witness Node

For more realistic test scenario, witnesses also need to be configured with their own IDs, public and private keys.
