IDMLinuxUnixPlatformServices consists of three major components.
- IDM Fan-Out Unix Platform Services Process: The Platform Services Process receives requests from other processes and manages communications with one or more core drivers for Authentication Services.
- DirXML Fan-Out System Intercept: The System Intercept is implemented in most UNIX systems using a Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM). The Platform Services PAM module communicates with the Platform Services Process for password verification and password changes.
- IDM Fan Out Unix Platform Receiver: The Platform Receiver requests provisioning events from Event Journal Services and runs a Receiver script to carry out the appropriate action for each event as it is received.
Start the Platform Service Process upon system startup and stop the Platform Service Process during system shutdown.
To start the Platform Services Process, use the following command:
/usr/local/ASAM/bin/PlatformServices/PlatformServicesProcess/asampsp
To stop the Platform Services Process, use the kill command.
NOTE: Optional Startup/Shutdown scripts are provided in the ASAM/data/UnixStartupScripts directory. When installed you can then use:
/etc/init.d/asampspd { start | stop }
Schedule running the Platform Receiver as appropriate for the mode of operation that you have chosen for it. If you are using Persistent Mode or Polling Mode, start the Platform Receiver during system startup and stop the Platform Receiver during system shutdown. If you are using Scheduled Mode, use cron or a similar utility to run the Platform Receiver on a schedule that is appropriate for you. For information about choosing a mode of operation, see the Platform Services Planning Guide and Reference.
To start the Platform Receiver, use the following command:
/usr/local/ASAM/bin/PlatformServices/PlatformReceiver/asamrcvr
To stop the Platform Receiver, use the kill command.
NOTE: Optional Startup/Shutdown scripts are provided in the ASAM/data/UnixStartupScripts directory. When installed you can use:
/etc/init.d/asamrcvrd { start | stop }
