This topic describes how to change the IP address of an EAC
Central Server machine in an environment featuring remote MDEX host machines,
where the
AppConfig.xml
files use host names rather than IP
addresses for the machines.
To change the IP address for an EAC Central Server machine:
Stop the Endeca HTTP service on both the EAC Central Server and remote MDEX host.
Change the
networkaddress.cache.ttl
in thejava.security
file to 0 on both machines.By default, this file is located in
%ENDECA_ROOT%\j2sdk\jre\lib\security
.Change the IP address of the EAC Central Server, making sure that the MDEX host operating system can resolve the EAC Central Server at the new IP address.
Revert the changes to the
java.security
file mentioned in Step 2 above by changingnetworkaddress.cache.ttl
back to -1, and restart the Endeca HTTP service on both machines.This prevents subsequent DNS spoof attacks.
