Creating and Configuring an APPX Connection Service

Changed:
<
<
On Unix/Linux systems, an instance of the APPX Connection Service is initially created, configured, and started by running the "appxdsvc" command with the -install option. At least one instance of the APPX Connection Service must be created, configured, and started before an APPX Client can initiate an APPX session. You may create, configure, and start as many different instances of the APPX Connection Service as you desire. However, each concurrently running instance must be configured to listen for connection requests on a different TCP/IP port.

Initial Configuration

The -install option of the appxdsvc command is used to initially create, configure, and start an instance of the APPX Connection Service. The following steps are performed:
  1. The APPX Connection Service configuration files are created(ini and env)
Line: 53 to 54
 

Method 1 - appxdsvc command

Changed:
<
<
The -modify option of the appxdsvc command is used to replace a previously configured instance of the APPX Connection Service. This option replaces the existing APPX Connection Service configuration files (ini and env) with two new files configured as specified.

Method 2 - Text Editor

Changed:
<
<
Instead of using the -modify option of the appxdsvc command, you may also change a previously configured instance of the APPX Connection Service by directly editing the APPX Connection Service configuration files with the text editor of your choice. The configuration files include comments to help you make the desired changes.

Acceptable values are 'OS-User', 'Appx-User', and 'HT-User(filename)'. With 'Appx-User' authentication, passwords are validated against the Appx user file With 'OS-User' authentication, passwords are validated by the operating system. With 'HT-User(filename)' authentication, passwords are validated against the named file (which you can maintain the Apache's htpasswd utility. If you choose 'Appx-User' authentication, you do not need a separate OS user account for each Appx user.
Changed:
<
<
-serviceType, -ServiceType [Optional]

-serviceType, -ServiceType=Login [Optional]
 
The only valid value when configuring a Connection Service is "Login".

  VARIABLE=VALUE [Optional]
You can include a space-separated list of environment variables at the end of the command line when you use the -install option. These environment variables will be saved in the env file that is created and will be given to the environment of the appx sessions that are started by the Connection Manager.
