The following are requirements for the UNIX user ID of the
SPD Server installer:
-
Use a UNIX user ID other than root
to install and run your production SPD Server.
-
The user ID needs appropriate access permissions to create the installation directory
for SPD Server on the file system where you want to install the server software.
-
The user ID should become the user ID of the SPD Server Administrator. In this way,
the administrator has access to the installation directory
and all SPD Server processes.
-
If you want SPD Server clients to connect to SPD Server by using name services instead
of by specifying
port numbers at invocation, the user ID needs Write access to both the
server and the client machine's /etc/inet/services or /etc/services files.
Name services require you to define registered ports that use the
services file appropriate to your machine.
-
Install SPD Server in a location that is adequately mirrored and backed up to ensure
reliability.
