Linking with JP1/Base requires that the system include a JP1/Base server (authentication server) for user authentication. In addition, JP1/Base must have been installed on the same computer on which the server core facility of JP1/Software Distribution Manager is installed.

The following figure shows the system configuration used for linking with JP1/Base.

Figure 1-1 System configuration for linking with JP1/Base

Note

If you attempt to use the user management facility when JP1/Base is not installed on the computer on which the server core facility of JP1/Software Distribution Manager is installed, you may not be able to start JP1/Software Distribution because user authentication will not be executed.

For details about how to install JP1/Base and configure the authentication server, see the manual Job Management Partner 1/Base User's Guide.
