Configuring Unix servers to use the FileNet Content Manager and IBM Content Foundation Configuration Manager tool in GUI mode

Steps

Ensure that the server on which the Configuration Manager is run can display a user interface. It is likely that x11 forwarding needs to be configured.

Configure x11 forwarding

1. On all Unix-based P8 servers, install X Windows or similar technology that supports x11 forwarding.
2. Install an X Window terminal emulator on any remote machines used to access tools that run on the P8 servers.
3. If x11 forwarding is already enabled, set the DISPLAY environment variable to point to the server containing the x11 application.
4. If x11 forwarding is not enabled, complete the following steps:
   1. Edit the SSH daemon configuration file at /etc/ssh/sshd_config
   2. Open the SSH daemon configuration file.

      $ sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

   3. Ensure that the following line is set:

      X11Forwarding yes

   4. Optionally, add the following line. In your environment, the value might need to be set to something other than 10.

      X11DisplayOffset 10

5. Restart the SSH daemon

   On Linux servers: $ service sshd restart

   On AIX servers: # startsrc -s sshd

6. Once the servers and remote machines are configured, open a new x11 session and use a sample x11 application, such as xclock, to verify the setup before launching the Configuration Manager User Interface (CMUI).
