Appendix

This appendix contains information on Host Authentication, running D3 as a service, SSL encryption, administering UNIX ODBC servers and D3 configuration file tape statements.

  1. Host Authentication
    Host Authentication is a D3 feature that allows use of the operating system to provide authentication of logon credentials when logging into D3. By default, the client is automatically logged into D3 using their operating system logon credentials rather than being prompted for their traditional D3 user and password.
  2. Running D3 as a Service
    As of D3 Linux 10.2, D3 can be set to automatically start and stop when Linux is started or stopped.
  3. SSL encryption administration
    In order for D3 to be able to support SSL communications and data encryption, the SSL libraries and certificate (for SSL) must be installed. Rocket does not provide the required libraries or certificate files.
  4. Administering UNIX ODBC servers
    The D3 ODBC account Main Menu is available for administering a UNIX ODBC server from the TCL prompt. This menu provides options for configuring, starting, stopping, and monitoring the ODBC server.
  5. D3 configuration file tape statements
    Information specific to the tape portion of the D3 configuration file, typically pick0, is discussed here.
