To Set Up Authentication for DWP Connections for a Front-end Server

Before You Begin

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 front-end server.

1. On every front-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
   caldb.dwp.server.back-end-server.admin	On a front-end server, specifies the administrator's user ID that is used for authentication for a DWP connection to a back-end server, where back-end-server is the name of the server.
   caldb.dwp.server.back-end-server.cred	On a front-end server, specifies the password that is used for authentication for a DWP connection to a back-end server, where back-end-server is the name of the server.

5. Save the file as ics.conf.

6. Restart Calendar Server.
