Configuration
iServer includes both support for file and database based realms. The file
based realm is used to store and retrieve users, groups, access rights and
control lists using flat files and the database based realm using any JDBC
accessible database.
Select the method to use:
Flat File
Microsoft Access
Oracle
Other
Use the following steps to configure the file based realm.
- Set Class File to stec.iws.FileRealm.
- Set Parameters to empty.
Use the following steps to configure the database based realm for Microsoft
Access.
- Set Class File to stec.iws.DatabaseRealm.
- Define the following Parameters:
driver=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
url=jdbc:odbc:iserver.msaccess
username=admin
password=admin
- If you have not already created a System DSN for iServer then from the
Windows Control Panel run ODBC Data Sources (32bit) and add a new System DSN
named iserver.msaccess that uses a Microsoft Access driver and that
references c:\iws\databases\iserver.mdb, assuming that iServer was
installed in c:\iws.
The example provided above makes use of the JDBC-ODBC bridge to access the
iserver.mdb database. It will only work under Microsoft Windows 9x/NT and may
not work with JView.
Use the following steps to configure the database based realm for Oracle.
- Set Class File to stec.iws.DatabaseRealm
- Define the following Parameters:
driver=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
url=jdbc:odbc:iserver.oracle
username=admin
password=admin
- If Oracle database server is not running then start then it.
- If you have not already created an Oracle database for iServer then
follow the instructions below to create it.
- Start SQLPLUS and login as an administrator.
sqlplus system/manager
The user name and password shown above may not be correct on all systems.
Please consult the appropriate Oracle documentation or a system database
administrator for the correct user name and password.
- Create admin user.
grant connect to admin identified by admin;
grant dba to admin;
commit;
exit
- Start SQLPLUS again and this time login using the new admin
user.
sqlplus admin/admin
- Assuming that iServer was installed in /iws create the
database.
@/iws/databases/iserver.sql
exit
If iServer was installed in a directory other than /iws then edit
installdir/databases/iserver.sql and change the directory path
of the iserver.ora database to the proper path.
- Using the sample TNSNAMES.ORA file in
installdir/databases, define a new SQL Net entry named
iserver.oracle for iServer.
- Start SQL Net Listener.
lsnrctl start
The example provided above makes use of the JDBC-ODBC bridge to access the
Oracle database. It will only work under Microsoft Windows 9x/NT and may
not work with JView.
Use the following steps to configure the database based realm for any JDBC
accessiable database.
- Set Class File to stec.iws.DatabaseLogger
- Define the following Parameters:
driver=driver
url=url
username=username
password=password
driver
|
The JDBC driver used to access the database.
|
url
|
The JDBC URL that references the database.
|
username
|
The username.
|
password
|
The password.
|
- If you have not already created a database for iServer then using the
instruction for configuring database based realm for Oracle as a guideline
and /iws/databases/iserver.sql as a template create the appropriate
user login, database, tables, stored procedures and views.
Notes
A Realm is a Java Class that is invoked to check access rights when a request
matches a Resource.
Loaded Realms a prefixed with an *.
Changes made will not be used until the iServer is restarted.
