Linux-UNIX: Configuring Kerberos by using the setup_kerberos.sh script
Run the setup_kerberos.sh script to configure and activate Kerberos on your Oracle, Sybase and DB2 databases. The script makes all of the configuration updates in both the database and the S-TAP.
Before you begin
- Make sure you know the database username.
- Inspection engines must be configured on the databases before you run the script because it scans the database environments.
About this task
- The setup_kerberos.sh script is part of the S-TAP installation, and is located in the S-TAP installation directory.
- This script is an alternative to the Kerberos configuration tasks described in Linux-UNIX: Enabling the Kerberos plugin, Linux-UNIX: Configuring the Kerberos plugin, Linux-UNIX: Finding the Kerberos configuration parameters for Oracle, Linux-UNIX: Finding the Kerberos configuration parameters for Sybase.
- The script has these flags:
- -d: disable plugin
- -e: enable plugin
- -s: scan
- -S: scan and update configuration
- -v: verbose
- -h: print this help
Procedure
- Log in to the database server as root, and access the S-TAP installation directory.
- To enable, scan the databases, and enable the configuration, run
setup_kerberos.sh -e enable plugin -s scan -S scan and update
configuration The script starts to run, and prompts you for the required details.
- When the script completes without errors, restart the S-TAP.
