ProcedureTo configure Apache Security Files to work with the Load Balancer

Apache Web Server must have the correct security files to work well with the load balancer plug-in.

  1. Create a directory called sec_db_files under apache_install_dir.

  2. Copy application_server_domain_dir /config/*.db to apache_install_dir /sec_db_files.

  3. Depending on the platform, perform additional configuration.

    • On the Solaris platform:

      Add the path /usr/lib/mps/secv1 to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the apache_install_dir/bin/apachectl script. The path must be added before /usr/lib/mps.

    • On Linux:

      Add the path /opt/sun/private/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the apache_install_dir/bin/apachectl script. The path must be added before /usr/lib.

    • On Microsoft Windows:

      1. Add a new path to the Path environment variable.

        Click Start->Settings->Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables->System Variables.

        Add application_server_install_dir /bin to the Path environment variable.

      2. Set the environment variable NSPR_NATIVE_THREADS_ONLY to 1.

        In the Environment Variables window, under System Variables, click New. Enter Variable name of NSPR_NATIVE_THREADS_ONLY and Variable value of 1.

      3. Restart the machine.
