6.3.1 Specifying the authentication servers to use

Specify the host running JP1/Base that will be used as the authentication server. The authentication server must be specified on the following hosts:

Every host to be used as an authentication server (primary or secondary)

Host on which JP1/IM - Manager or JP1/AJS - Manager is installed

A host specified as an authentication server manages JP1 users and the operating permissions for JP1 resource groups. If JP1/IM and JP1/AJS are both installed in your system, and if you want to use just one user authentication block, specify the same authentication server on each host.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Setting the authentication servers

(2) Checking the specified authentication servers

(3) Disabling startup of the authentication server on the local host

(1) Setting the authentication servers

To specify an authentication server, execute the following command:
jbssetusrsrv primary-authentication-server [secondary-authentication-server]
 
For details on the jbssetusrsrv command, see jbssetusrsrv (UNIX only) in 13. Commands.

Notes

Before you start JP1/Base, in the hosts file or on the DNS server, enter the host name(s) set as the authentication server (or primary and secondary authentication servers). You can set the authentication servers (execute the jbssetusrsrv command) first, or enter the information in the hosts file or on the DNS server first. The order of these tasks does not matter, provided the system can resolve the IP address from the host name at JP1/Base startup.

Specify the host names on both the primary and secondary authentication servers. You cannot specify an IP address.

(2) Checking the specified authentication servers

To check which hosts are set as authentication servers, execute the following command:
jbslistsrv [-h logical-host-name]
 
For details on the jbslistsrv command, see jbslistsrv in 13. Commands.

(3) Disabling startup of the authentication server on the local host

When you install JP1/Base for the first time, the local host is set as the authentication server and this authentication server starts automatically. Even if you change the authentication server setting to a remote host, the authentication process on the local host will still be activated.

To disable the authentication process and prevent startup of the authentication server on the local host:
Make sure that disabling the local-host authentication server will not affect operations.
Execute the following commands:
cd /etc/opt/jp1base/conf
cp -p jp1bs_spmd.conf.model jp1bs_spmd.conf 
Restart JP1/Base.
If you want to again specify the local host as an authentication server (primary or secondary) after disabling startup as above, take the following steps to enable startup:
Execute the following commands:
cd /etc/opt/jp1base/conf
cp -p jp1bs_spmd.conf.session.model jp1bs_spmd.conf 
Restart JP1/Base.
