Installing the APPX Connection Manager Command ( appxloginmgr)

The APPX Login Manager ( appxloginmgr) command is installed automatically when you install APPX on your system. The installer sets the necessary owner and group permissions for the appxloginmgr command. So, there is nothing additional that you need to do to install the appxloginmgr command. However, after you install APPX, you will need to run the appxloginmgr command to configure and start an instance of the APPX Connection Service before any remote client connections may be established.

Changed:
<
<		The appxloginmgr command must run with the permissions of the root user because it will be spawning appx processes running as each logged in user. Therefore, the owner of the appxloginmgr command should be the root user and the SUID bit should be set so that the appxloginmgr command can be run by users other than root but still be run with the permissions of root.

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 appxloginmgr command with the -install option. At least one appropriately configured instance of the APPX Connection Service must be created, configured, and started before a remote 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.

Creating a Connection Service

Before remote clients can connect to an APPX system, at least one instance of an APPX Connection Service must be configured and started.

  1. A configuration file (ini) is created
  2. An environment file (env) is created
  3. A service is created, including required init files and links. ( On Red Hat, /etc/init.d/ )

Changing a Connection Service

Two methods are available for modifying an existing instance of an APPX Connection Service.
Changed:
<
<

Method 1 - The Connection Manager Command (appxdsvc)

The -modify command and the - replace command of the appxdsvc connection manager can be used to modify or replace a previously configured instance of the APPX Connection Service. These options update the existing APPX Connection Service configuration files (ini and env) with the options specified.

Method 1 - The APPX Login Manager Command (appxLoginMgr)

The -modify command and the - replace command of the appxLoginMgr tool can be used to modify or replace a previously configured instance of the APPX Login Manager. These options update the existing APPX Login Manager daemon configuration files (ini and env) with the options specified.
 

Method 2 - Text Editor

Changed:
<
<		A text editor can be used to directly edit the APPX Connection Service configuration files (ini and env). The configuration files include comments to help you make the desired changes. If you use this method to modify an existing configuration, you should exercise care to ensure that the syntax is correct. The preferred method for modifying a connection service is with Medhod 1 above.
