database-path

This stanza entry specifies the file name and location of the policy database for the specified domain.

Syntax

database-path = fully_qualified_path

Description

File name and location of the policy database for the specified domain. The name of the database is the same as the domain name. The file extension can be anything, but the extension is usually .db.

Note: Do not edit this entry.

Options

The fully_qualified_path value represents an alphanumeric string. String values are expected to be characters that are part of the local code set. The set of valid characters in a file name can be determined by the file system and by the local code set. For Windows operating systems, file names cannot have a backward slash (\), a colon (:), a question mark (?), or double quotation marks ("). Windows operating systems path names, however, can have a backward slash (\) or a colon (:).

For AIX, Linux, and Solaris operating systems, path names and file names are case-sensitive.

Usage

Conditional. This stanza entry is required when the user creates at least one domain.
