UNIX platform information

This section contains information specific to UNIX platforms. For more information, see the Open Client/Server Configuration Guide for UNIX.

UNIX platforms – no special tools for editing the libtcl.cfg file are available. Use your favorite editor to comment and uncomment the entries that are already in place after you install Adaptive Server.

The libtcl.cfg file, after installation of Adaptive Server on a UNIX platform, already contains entries for the three sections of the file:

The sections do not have to be in a specific order.

Make sure that the entries you do not want to use are commented (begin with “;”) and the entries you want are uncommented (do not begin with “;”).


Sample libtcl.cfg File for Sun Solaris

[DRIVERS]
;libtli.so=tcp unused ; This is the non-threaded tli driver.
;libtli_r.so=tcp unused ; This is the threaded tli driver.

[DIRECTORY]
;dce=libddce.so ditbase=/.:/subsys/sybase/dataservers
;dce=libddce.so ditbase=/.:/users/cfrank

[SECURITY]
dce=libsdce.so secbase=/.../svrsole4_cell

This libtcl.cfg file is set up to use the DCE security service. Notice that this file does not use Directory Services because all [DIRECTORY] section entries are commented.

Because all entries in the [DRIVERS] section for network drivers are also commented, appropriate drivers are chosen automatically by the system. A threaded driver is chosen automatically when security services are being used, and a non-threaded driver is chosen automatically for applications that cannot work with threaded drivers. For example, Backup Server does not support security services and does not work with a threaded driver.
