2 Installing the ODBC driver Adding the datasource on Linux systems Before you edit the INI files, install Network Advisor (refer to “Installation” on page 1) and make sure the PostgreSQL database is up and running. NOTE For RedHat and Oracle Enterprise systems, the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files are located in /etc. For SUSE systems, the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files are located in /etc/unixODBC. 1. Open the odbc.
2 Installing the ODBC driver 5. On the Set up user authentication screen, complete the following steps. a. Enter the database user name in the User name field. b. Select the Password required check box. c. Click Test Connection to test the connection. The Authentication Password dialog box displays. d. Enter the database password in the Password field and click OK. e. Click OK on the Connection Test dialog box.
2 Smart Card driver installation Smart Card driver installation Windows operating systems do not require smart card drivers to be installed separately; the driver is bundled with the operating system. However, you must install a smart card driver for the Linux operating systems. You must install both the special USB Chip/Smart Card Interface Device (USB CCID) and the PC/SC IFD driver. You can download the source code and compile it from one of the following websites: • USB CCID (ccid-1.3.7.tar.
Smart Card driver installation 2 5. Create a soft link into the system directory. This is to support the automatic restart of the pcscd daemon upon system restart. If you installed the pcsc directory into the /opt directory, just create the soft link. Otherwise, use the name of the new directory in place of /opt. S.u.s.e> ln –s /opt/pcsc/pcscctl /etc/init.d/pcscd S.u.s.e> chkconfig --add pcscd or redhat> ln –s /opt/pcsc/pcscctl /etc/init.
2 Smart Card driver installation Installing the Smart Card driver on the remote client 1. Complete steps 1 through 4 in “Installing the Smart Card driver on the local client” on page 34. 2. Run the following commands to support remote clients (Web Start). > cd /usr/lib > ln –s /opt/pcsc/lib/libpcsclite.so . NOTE If a soft link exists on libpcsclite.so, make sure that the final file is linked to /opt/pcsc/lib/libpcsclite.so.xxx. It is recommended that you back up the original.
2 Smart Card driver installation 3. If there is an existing pcscd script in this directory, you can move and rename this file before you overwrite it. > mv /etc/init.d/pcscd /etc/init.d/pcscd.org 4. Create a soft link using the following command. > ln –s /opt/pcsc/pcscctl /etc/init.d/pcscd The existing pcscd.org script in this directory implies that a different driver version exists. You can compare the existing one with the one under /opt/pcsc/pcscd/sbin.
2 Configuring an explicit server IP address Configuring an explicit server IP address If you selected a specific IP address from the Server IP Configuration screen during installation and the selected IP address changes, you will not be able to connect to the server. To connect to the new IP address, you must manually update the IP address information. To change the IP address, complete the following steps. 1.
Product improvement 2 11. Enter your user name and password and click Login. The defaults are Administrator and password, respectively. NOTE Do not enter Domain\User_Name in the User ID field for LDAP server authentication. 12. Click OK on the Login Banner. Product improvement To improve its products, Brocade is collecting usage statistics from the field. If you agree to participate in the program, the Network Advisor server will transmit data back to the secure Brocade web server (HTTPS).
2 Product improvement Disabling product improvement data transfer You can disable feature usage data transfer from the Options dialog box once your system is up and running. To disable feature usage data transfer from the application, complete the following steps. 1. Select Server > Options. The Options dialog box displays. 2. Select Product Improvement in the Category list. 3. Select the No, thank you option. 4. Click OK to save your selection and close the Options dialog box.
2 Configuring remote client access to the database 11. When the file is successfully created, the client changes the state of the data transfer to “Uploading” and transmits the data. The client transmits the data securely to the Brocade web server using the Apache HTTP Components third-party library. The client communicates with the Brocade web server using an authorization token. 12.

Management server and client ports A Management server and client ports The Management application has two parts: the Server and the Client. The Server is installed on one machine and stores device-related information; it does not have a user interface. To view information through a user interface, you must log in to the Server through a Client. The Server and Clients may reside on the same machine, or on separate machines.
