2.4 Setting the user account authentication mode

Use the jpcvsvr.ini file to set the authentication mode of a user account (management method). The default mode is PFM authentication mode. You do not need to perform the following procedure if you intend to use PFM authentication mode.

1. Stop the PFM - Manager and PFM - Web Console services.

   Stop the services in the order of PFM - Web Console and PFM - Manager.

2. Use a text editor or a similar tool to open the jpcvsvr.ini file.

   The jpcvsvr.ini file is stored in the following locations:

   On physical hosts:

   In Windows:

   installation-folder\mgr\viewsvr\jpcvsvr.ini

   In UNIX:

   /opt/jp1pc/mgr/viewsvr/jpcvsvr.ini

   On logical hosts:

   In Windows:

   environment-directory\jp1pc\mgr\viewsvr\jpcvsvr.ini

   In UNIX:

   environment-directory/jp1pc/mgr/viewsvr/jpcvsvr.ini

3. Change the value of UserServer.authenticationMode in the jpcvsvr.ini file.

   Table 2‒5: Authentication mode settings

   Authentication mode	Settings
   PFM authentication mode	UserServer.authenticationMode=PFM
   JP1 authentication mode	UserServer.authenticationMode=JP1

   Reference note:

   The PFM authentication mode is set if you specify an invalid value.

4. Save and then close the jpcvsvr.ini file.

5. Start the services of PFM - Manager and PFM - Web Console.

   Start PFM - Manager, and then start PFM - Web Console.

   The changed jpcvsvr.ini file is loaded, and then the authentication mode is set.

Note:

A message indicating an authentication error appears if, after the authentication mode is set, you logged on to PFM - Web Console by using a user account with a management method that is different from the set mode.

Reference note:

Overwrite the jpcvsvr.ini file with the jpcvsvr.ini.model file (in the same folder) to restore the default settings for the jpcvsvr.ini file.
