3-4 CHAPTER 3: ACCESSBUILDER NAME SERVER
3.3. Command
Options
With Name Server Release 1.2, the ‘dbserver’ can run from ‘/etc/rc’ file
without user interactions. This makes it possible for the ‘dbserver’ to run
automatically when UNIX boots up.
The command options for dbserver are:
dbserver [-d] [-p password] [-n/-y]
where:
-d -- The -d option enables the Name Server to print out trace
information on the standard output and to save trace information into
the log file ‘dbserver.log’.
-p password -- is used as the encryption key by the Name Server to
encrypt messages between Name Server and AccessBuilder. This
password has to be the same as the ‘Security Parameter’ of the
AccessBuilder. The default password is ‘3com’.
-y/-n -- The -y option allows the user to change the user password, while
the -n option disables changing the user password. The default is ‘-y’.
3.4. Database
Conversion
The following information applies only to users having an existing Name
Server 1.0 database. If you do not have an existing version 1.0 database, skip
this section.
Because Name Server release 1.2 produces the ‘password.db’ file in a
different format from the previous release, it is necessary to convert your
existing version 1.0 ‘password.db’ file into the new file format. The command
‘dbcnvt’ is provided for this purpose.
Before running the dbcnvt command, make sure that the dbcnvt command
resides in the same directory as the ‘password.db’ file, or the environment
variable DBPATH is set to the name of the directory where the ‘password.db’
file is located. To run dbcnvt, enter the command name the UNIX SHELL
prompt and follow the prompt to enter the database password.
