Configuring Redirect Server from the redir.properties File

If you run the SRC software on a Solaris platform, you configure the redirect server by editing the redir.properties file.

To configure the redirect server from the redir.properties file:

  1. On each host on which you installed the redirect server software, access the directory in which you installed the redirect server, and run the configuration script.
  2. # cd /opt/UMC/redir
    
    # etc/config
    
    
    
  3. Follow the instructions on the screen to configure the redirect server.

Because the script includes some error checking, we recommend that you follow the instructions on the screen rather than directly editing the /opt/UMC/redir/etc/redir.properties file.

For information about the properties to be configured, see Configuration Properties for the Redirect Server.

If you are configuring redundancy for the redirect server, assign one redirect server as the primary server, and the other as the redundant server.

For information about getting information about the requests the redirect server is receiving and processing, see Chapter 15, Configuring Traffic Redirection with the SRC CLI.

Configuration Properties for the Redirect Server

You can modify the following properties for the redirect server from the configuration script that saves changes to the /etc/redir.properties file.

redir.port

redir.url

redir.reqrate

redir.reqburst

redir.clientrate

redir.clientburst

redir.ext

redir.extensions

redir.monitor

monitor.host

monitor.virtualIp

monitor.realIp

monitor.master

monitor.checkInt

where <clientRate> is the number of requests per minute that the redirect engine accepts from one client

ldap.url

where <host> is the IP address or hostname of the directory host and <portNumber> is the TCP port

ldap.binddn

ldap.bindpw

ldap.basedn

monitor.vrs

where <vrName> is the name of the virtual router and <routerName> is the name of the router on which the VR is configured
