Configure OS Level Authentication

Use the following instructions to configure OS level authentication for Informix and Ingres databases:

1. Login to the machine that contains your OpenLink server components installation.

2. Use a text editor to open the oplrqb.ini file, which you find in the /bin sub-directory of your OpenLink server components installation.

3. Locate the [generic_xxxxx] section, which corresponds to your OpenLink database agent. For example:

[generic_inf2000]
Description = Default settings for Informix 2000 agent
Program     = inf9_mv
Environment = INFORMIX2000
;OpsysLogin  = Yes
ReUse       = always
;CommandLine    =
;ConnectOptions =
;Directory      = /tmp
;Database       =
;Userid         =
;Password       =
;ReadOnly       = Yes

or

[generic_ingresii]
Description = Default settings for Ingres II agent
Program     = ingii_mv
Environment = INGRES_II
ReUse       = always
;OpsysLogin  = Yes
;CommandLine    =
;ConnectOptions =
;Directory      = /tmp
;Database       =
;Userid         =
;Password       =
;ReadOnly       = Yes

4. Locate the OpsysLogin parameter.

5. Ensure that no semicolon (;) appears in front of OpsysLogin.

6. Set OpsysLogin = Yes.

7. Save your changes and exit the file.

8. Restart or reinitialize (oplshut +reinit) your Request Broker service.
