Example 1: Modify serverConnect.conf

In UNIX:

• The original version of the server connect (serverConnect.conf) security configuration file on UNIX is installed to:

  /opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts/conf
  

• A modified serverConnect.conf security configuration file on UNIX should be saved to:

  /opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts/local/conf
  

• VMware Smart Assurance software is designed to first search for user modifiable files in BASEDIR/smarts/local or one of its subdirectories. If a modified version of a file is not found in the local area, VMware Smart Assurance software then searches appropriate non-local directories.

  To facilitate proper file editing, VMware Corporation provides the sm_edit utility with every VMware Smart Assurance products. When used to modify an original version of a file, this utility automatically creates a local copy of the file and places it in the appropriate location under BASEDIR/smarts/local. This ensures that the original version of the file remains unchanged. You can invoke sm_edit from the command line.

  To invoke the sm_edit utility from the command line, specify the path and the name of the file to edit under BASEDIR/smarts. If multiple VMware Smart Assurance products are running on the same host, invoke sm_edit from the bin directory of the product with the files to edit.
