Changing the Authentication Directory
The default SPC authentication directory is /var/tmp on the remote
execution host. An alternate location can be defined.
The default location may not always be practical. For example, you may
not be able to export /var/tmp with write permission if the parent
directories have different access permissions. Another example where
access may be restricted is if you are trying to automount the directory
via a -hosts map and the parent directories are not also exported.
For a system to receive remote execution requests in these cases, the
administrator of that system must specify an alternate temporary
directory to use. The directory may reside on any system on the network,
as long as the requirements listed in “Requirements for the SPC
Authentication Directory” on page 50 are met.
Once the alternate location is selected, the full path to the alternate
validation directory should be placed in the file:
/opt/softbench/config/sharedtmpdir
on each system where remote SoftBench tools are to be executed.
Although /opt/softbench/config/sharedtmpdir is the recommended
location for this information, the contents of that file can be overridden
by a sharedtmpdir file in one of the following alternate locations:
Override sharedtmpdir file on HP-UX 11.0:
/etc/opt/softbench/config/sharedtmpdir
Override sharedtmpdir files on HP-UX 10.20:
/etc/opt/softbench/config/sharedtmpdir
/usr/bms/config/sharedtmpdir
/etc/usr/bms/config/sharedtmpdir
