Chapter 10: Configuring Linux Adaptive Server for Failover on Veritas 2.1

Creating an Adaptive Server login file

Create a file that contains the Adaptive Server login information for System Administrator and for the user you added for the fault monitor. A sample file containing a template for this information is located in: $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/veritas/HAase/ase_login_file. This file consists of two lines. The first line is the login and password for the System Administrator; the second line is the monitor user login and password.

login-type<tab>login string
login-type<tab>login string

The login-type and the login string must be separated by a tab character.

NoteIf you use another file at a different location, specify the full path for the resource extension property Dataserver_login_file when configuring the HAase resource.

The default value for login-type is normal. Values for login string are in the form login-name/password. For example:

normal     sa/sa-password 
normal     probe-user/probe-password

For security reasons, the ase_login_file should be securely protected so that read and write access permissions are restricted to root. To maintain this security, perform the following:

chmod 400 ase_login_file
chown root ase_login_file
chgrp  sys  ase_login_file

NoteSybase strongly recommends that you use a non-empty password. If you use an empty password, the agent scripts generate a warning message.
