3.3 Configuring the Server

Before your thin client system is ready for use, you must evaluate and configure the server system attributes. Server configuration consists of:

1. Configuring the remote application runtime

2. Assigning values to variables in the server configuration file

3. Creating a server alias file

4. Modifying access records in the server access file

5. Assigning ownerships and permissions on files and directories

Please note that runtime and server configuration variables are stored in separate plain text files. The content of these files is easily modified with the host system's standard text editor.

Each configuration variable entry consists of a single line in the file. Each entry starts with a keyword, followed by one or more spaces or tabs, and a value. Note that configuration file entries treat upper and lower case characters as equivalent, and hyphens and underscores as equivalent. A configuration variable definition might look like:

SERVER_ALIAS_FILE     /opt/acugt52/etc/rclalias.ini
