Configuring cache folder permissions for remote caches and NAS

If the cache is hosted remotely or if you are setting up network area storage (NAS), after the cache is created, create a user account for the ImpaxServerUser on the system hosting the cache.

To configure cache folder permissions for remote caches and NAS

  1. On the Database Server, open a command prompt or terminal window.

  2. Change to the C:\mvf\bin (AS300) or /usr/mvf/bin/ (AS3000, logged in as root user) directory.

  3. To obtain the password for the ImpaxServerUser, type

    passkey -M QUERY -u ImpaxServerUser (AS300) or ./passkey -M QUERY -u ImpaxServerUser(AS3000)

    This password is used for the ImpaxServerUser account on the remote machine.

  4. If the remote web cache is hosted on a Windows-based system, log into the machine as an administrator-level user. Using the built-in Windows 2003 Server security configuration, create an account for the ImpaxServerUser that uses the same password as the account on the Database Server.

    If the web cache is hosted on a Solaris-based system, install and configure a subprocess such as NFS or SAMBA.

  5. If an ImpaxServerUser account cannot be used on the remote cache but rather a domain user needs to be used, create the domain user and add this user to the ImpaxServerGroup on the IMPAX machines requiring access (for example, the Curator). Update the IMPAX services to log in as this new domain user.
