Configuring a daemon

Edit online

Fix Pack 1

To start and stop a Collector Server instance from IBM® Content Navigator and to view logs and traces from IBM Content Navigator, you must configure a daemon on the system where Collector Server is installed. The daemon is used by IBM Content Navigator to control a Collector Server instance.

Before you begin

Planning for running Collector Server instances

Procedure

On the system where Collector Server is installed, take these steps:

  1. Create a daemon path. All files that are created when the daemon is started, are stored in this path.
    You must have read/write access to this path. Strictly control the access to this path.

    For example, create the following path:
    /home/iccsapadmin/daemon

  2. Create an instance base path.

    For example, create the following path:
    /home/iccsapadmin/instances

    All instance directories must be in this base path or in a subdirectory of this path.

  3. Configuring the server authentication on Collector Server
  4. Configuring the client authentication
  5. Starting the daemon.
  6. Configuring the server authentication on the web application server
