Set up additional configurations - assure_dq - 10.1.0

You can set up additional client configurations to connect to multiple Assure DQ server instances, such as a development instance or a test instance. When you run the client, you can specify which configuration to use. Complete the following steps for each additional configuration you want to create:

1. Use a command similar to the following to initialize your additional configuration:

   init-client-config.sh –c <configname> IA

   where <configname> is a name of your choice for your configuration, such as test.

2. When prompted, enter the following properties for your configuration:
   • Host name—The host name or address of the Assure DQ server.
   • Protocol—The communication protocol to use when connecting to the Assure DQ server (1 for http or 2 for https).
   • Port number—The port number of the Assure DQ server.
3. Unless you prefer to pass them on the command line, edit the user name and password in the client.properties file.

   The file is located in <install_folder>/InfogixClient/config/

   <configname>/IA, where <configname> is the name of your configuration, such as test.

4. If you have multiple instances of the Assure DQ application installed together on the same application server, edit the solution.context.root property.

   Specify the context root of the instance to connect to, such as infogixassuredev.

5. Optionally, run the crypt-properties script to encrypt passwords in the client properties file. From the bin folder, use the following command:

   crypt-properties.sh –c <configname> IA

   where <configname> is the name of your configuration, such as test.

   Tip: Password encryption is optional but recommended. Unencrypted passwords in the properties files may be visible to unauthorized users.

   Note: The default algorithm is PBE-DES 56 bit encryption. To use the AES 256 bit algorithm instead, see “Encrypt Passwords” on page 26.
6. Use a command similar to the following to deploy your additional configuration:

   deploy-client.sh –c <configname> IA

   where <configname> is the name of your configuration, such as test.

7. From the bin folder, use the following command to run aboutAssure.sh:

   aboutAssure.sh
