ids: Interface - Dictionary Alias

You can use alias name for the rulebase, database, or source name, which hides the actual connection string from the application programs.

On UNIX platforms, only the

Identity Resolution

Administrator must have read and write permission on this file.

To use the alias feature, perform the following steps:

Create a text file that contains the alias names followed by their actual connection string, separated with tabs or spaces. For example:

rb odb:0:username/password@dbserver
db odb:1:username/password@dbserver
src odb:99:username/password@dbserver

Define an environment variable in the server’s environment to find the dictionary file.

On Windows:

set SSA_DBDICT=%SSAWORKDIR%\mydict.dic

On UNIX:

SSA_DBDICT=$SSAWORKDIR/mydict.dic
export SSA_DBDICT

If you do not define this variable, the default dictionary file is

$SSABIN/dbdict.dic

Use the alias names instead of the actual connection string. You must set

Interface

ids

to enable this alias lookup feature. For example, use

ids:rb

to refer the rulebase,

ids:db

to refer the database and

ids:src

to refer the source.
