Prepare for EntireX Installation

Edit online
  • If you are going to install on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 system, and you have configured the system to use the Blowfish algorithm to encrypt user passwords, download and install patch 18 Aug 2011 - glibc 4944 from Novell Support. This patch fixes an operating system bug relating to user authentication. For detailed information, see Novell’s SUSE Security Announcement: SUSE-SA:2011:035.
  • If you are going to install EntireX on a UNIX system, make sure you have set sufficient user limits for the shell you use to start the installation and the product daemons. If your system policy allows it, IBM recommends setting the value for coredump, data, file, memory, and threads to unlimited, and the value of nofiles to 8192. For more information about setting and displaying the ulimits, read the man page or ask your system administrator.
  • If you are going to install EntireX on a UNIX NFS file system and want to do user authentication for EntireX Broker against the local operating system, you must mount the NFS file system with the suid option, which allows set-user-identifier or set-group-identifier bits to take effect.
