Setting Auxiliary Security Servers in the Server jde.ini

Within the [SECURITY] section of the server jde.ini file, you can set one to 10 auxiliary security servers. Use Server Manager to configure these settings. You set multiple auxiliary security servers to establish levels of default servers. For example, if a machine cannot access a given security server, the machine tries the next security server that is defined in the [SECURITY] section. The settings for the auxiliary security servers might look like this example:

[SECURITY]
NumServers=Numeric Value
SecurityServer=Enterprise Server Name (primary)
SecurityServer1=Enterprise Server Name (auxiliary)
SecurityServer2=Enterprise Server Name (auxiliary)

This table explains the variable values:

Setting

Value

NumServers

The total number of security servers (primary and auxiliary) that you set under the [SECURITY] section of the jde.ini file. For example, if you set one primary and four auxiliary servers, the NumServers value is 5. You can set NumServers to any value between 1 and 10. If you do not include the NumServers setting, the system assumes that you have only one server.

SecurityServerx

The name of an Enterprise Server. The primary and auxiliary security server names must all be valid enterprise servers. The values must be the same for both the workstation and Enterprise Servers for workstations to log onto and run batch reports from the enterprise server.

The variable value x can be any number between 1 and 10. This number defines the auxiliary security server.
