Synopsis - Service Configuration

Configuration - Commands

The -install command is used to configure a new instance of an APPX Connection Service. Either form of the install command may be used.

The first form of the -install command requires only that a service name be specified. All other options are optional including the TCP/IP port. Any option not specified will be configured with an appropriate default value.

The second form of the -install command requires only that a TCP/IP port be specified. All other options are optional including the ServiceName. Any option not specified will be configured with an appropriate default value.

In addition to creating the service configuration file and the environment configuration file, the -install command also creates an operating system service that will be automatically started when the computer system is started.

After creating the configuration files and the operating system service, the -install command starts the service. -modify -name=SERVICENAME [options]... [VARIABLE=VALUE]...

The -replace command is used to replace an existing Connection Service with a new Connection Service with the same name. The -replace command is effectively the same as a -remove command followed by an -install command. After updating the configuration files, the -replace command restarts the service. Note that when specifying variables on the command line, you must prefix them with a dash if you are referring to settings such as SSLmode, or without a dash if you are referring to environment variables, such as APPX_KEYMAP.

A minimal install produces three warning statements as documented below:

We should probably warn via screen notice on service creation, and document inside the .ini and .env files that if the .ini, .env and appxLoginMgr/appxAuditLogger are move or renamed, then the /etc/init.d system startup script will fail to work. The /etc/inid.d/appxd-8060 startup script references by name and path the .ini, .env, and appxLoginMgr/appxAuditLogger files.

Suggested Behavior changes:

1. To match the Windows platform, he following should be valid syntax: "appxLoginMgr -install". It should default to port 8060, or the Windows platform should not default to port 8060.

1. In an effort to make appxdsvc and uappxd (appxLoginMgr) as similar as possible, consider allowing -status as a single argument that would list all appxLoginMgr daemons. (Perhaps this isn't practical on Unix platforms)
2. APPX_KEYMAP environment variable should be initialized upon default install options. Currently "appxLoginMgr -install -SockPort=8060" does not place APPX_KEYMAP into appxLoginMgr-8060.env.
3. appxLoginMgr should create .ini and .env files in the tools subdirectory, and not in the current working directory.

1. 1. (-) ./appxLoginMgr -status
   2. (+) ./appxLoginMgr -status appxd-8060
   3. (+) ./appxLoginMgr -status -name=8060
