Customizing the Owner and Permissions for the Executable Files

You must change the file attributes of the Session Manager (d_dir/ndm/bin/ndmsmgr), Process Manager (d_dir/ndm/bin/cdpmgr), Command Manager (d_dir/ndm/bin/ndmcmgr) User Manager (d_dir/ndm/bin/ndmumgr), Statistics Manager (d_dir/ndm/bin/cdstatm), Client Authenticator (d_dir/ndm/bin/ndmauthc), and Server Authenticator (d_dir/ndm/bin/ndmauths).

To customize the SACL file and set the owner and permissions of the IBM® Connect:Direct® executable files:

  1. Type the full path of the IBM Connect:Direct destination directory and press Enter.
  2. Press Enter to continue the customization. The following screen is displayed:
  3. Type 4 to select Configurations requiring root privilege and press Enter.
  4. Press Enter to configure the SACL file.
  5. Press Enter to use root authority to create and check the SACL file.
  6. If you have already assumed root authority by using a utility such as sudo, press Enter. Otherwise, type the root password and press Enter.

    If you type the root password incorrectly, a message informs you that the configuration tasks were not completed. Otherwise, a SACL file is created, the owner and permissions of the IBM Connect:Direct executable files are set, and the following messages and prompt are displayed.
