 How to install ioncube on  jumpserver or bastion host?

  You would need root access to the server

1. Download the latest ioncube version from the site 

https://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php

You would need to identify your system architecture whether its 32 or 64 bit.

The following command would help you with it.

[root@gateway~]# file /bin/ping

/bin/ping: setuid ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped

As you can see, its 64 bit architecture.
Download the ioncube package for 64 bit and untar it /usr/local/ioncube

wget https://downloads.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz

tar -zxf ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz && mv ioncube /usr/local

 
2.Identify the php version your are running

[ root@gateway ~]# php -v

PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Aug 6 2014 11:41:05)

 
3. Edit the php configuration file & Add corresponding ioncube loader
Load the Iocube version corresponding to your PHP version only.
For example, If you have PHP Version 5.5 , The ioncube loader should be ioncube_loader_lin_5.5.so

Check the PHP version again to see whether ioncube has been loaded properly.

[ root@gateway ~]# php -v

PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Aug 6 2014 11:41:05)

Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group

4. Ensure that ioncube decoders are loaded by viewing the php configuration page.

vi /var/www/html/phpinfo.php

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

 

 Open the phpinfo page and it would show the ioncube version that has been loaded. As you can see ionCube version 10.2.0 has been loaded.

phpinfo
