Configure Oraclize with an Ethereum consortium or private network


Supposing you want to use Oraclize with a consortium Ethereum blockchain network, like in the simplest case with your Truffle development environment , you have to do the following steps: 

1. Install Ethereum Bridge to one of the node on your Ethereum consortium network: https://github.com/oraclize/ethereum-bridge

git clone https://github.com/oraclize/ethereum-bridge.git
cd ethereum-bridge
npm install

2. Start your Ethereum Bridge, with the network url and an account, like for Truffle:

./ethereum-bridge -H localhost:9545 -a 0 --dev

3. At deploying with truffle, copy the OraclizeAPI_05.sol locally. 

4. You can practically use the same code as on a live network, in the Ethereum Bridge window, you can check the sent and received transactions as well. 

A very simple implementation can be found under EthereumBridge in the following github repo
