ProcedureTo Set up Authentication for DWP Connections for a Back-end Server

Before You Begin

Caution – Caution –

These parameters are not included in the installed version of the ics.conf file. To use authentication for DWP connections, you must add the required parameters to the ics.conf file on each back-end server.


  1. On every back-end server, log in as an administrator with permission to change the configuration.

  2. Change to the /etc/opt/SUNWics5/cal/config directory.

  3. Save your old ics.conf file by copying and renaming it.

  4. Add the ics.conf parameters as shown in the following table:

    Parameter 

    Description 

    service.dwp.admin.userid

    On a back-end server, specifies the user ID that is used to authenticate a DWP connection. If a back-end server does not specify a user ID, no authentication is performed. 

    service.dwp.admin.cred

    On a back-end server, specifies the password that is used to authenticate a DWP connection. If a back-end server does not specify a password, no authentication is performed. 

  5. Save the file as ics.conf.

  6. Restart Calendar Server.
