Configuring the Security Configuration File by Using a Sample File

A security configuration file contains the configuration parameters that the security framework requires to implement security in MDM Registry Edition. The configuration parameters vary based on the security provider, which can be a database, LDAP, or Active Directory.
You can use the sample configuration files that you can find in the following directory to create a configuration file:
  • On Windows:
    <MDM Registry Edition Installation Directory>\security\config
  • On UNIX:
    <MDM Registry Edition Installation Directory>/security/config
To configure the security configuration file, perform the following tasks:
  1. Perform one of the following tasks:
    • If you use the database security provider, open the
      SecConfigJdbc<DBType>.xml
      file, where
      DBType
      can be one of the following values:
      • Msq
        for Microsoft SQL Server
      • Ora
        for Oracle
      • Udb
        for IBM DB2 UDB
    • If you use LDAP or Active Directory, open the
      SecConfigLdap.xml
      file.
  2. Update the values of the configuration parameters, and save the file.
    If you use Active Directory, ensure that you change the value of the
    Subtype
    parameter to PROVIDER_SUBTYPE_ADS.
  3. Rename the file to
    SecConfig.xml
    .
  4. Move the
    SecConfig.xml
    file to the following directory:
    • On Windows:
      <MDM Registry Edition Installation Directory>\security
    • On UNIX:
      <MDM Registry Edition Installation Directory>/security
After you configure the security configuration file, configure the MDM Registry Edition Security Server. For more information about configuring the MDM Registry Edition Security Server, see the
MDM Registry Edition Installation and Upgrade Guide
