Initializing the IBM Informix Interface for TSM password

To initialize the password for IBM® Informix® Interface for TSM, use the txbsapswd program. This program sets up a connection with the server instance that you specified in the dsm.opt file.

You must run the txbsapswd program as user root before using IBM Informix Interface for TSM.

To initialize the password:

  1. Create the directory for the SSL-related files as user "informix" (PASSWORDDIR in the dsm.sys file):
    $ sudo -u informix mkdir /work/TSM/PAX12/TSMPsswdDir
  2. As user root, start the txbsapswd program located in $INFORMIXDIR/bin directory.
  3. Enter the password and press Return. To retain your current password, press Return without a value.
  4. Replace ownership and permissions in the PASSWORDDIR:
    $ sudo chown -R informix:informix  /work/TSM/PAX12/TSMPsswdDir
    $ sudo chmod -R 750 /work/TSM/PAX12/TSMPsswdDir
