Setting the SM_AUTHORITY variable

The environment variable controls the authentication security features provided by the software. You can add and set the variable in the file.

To add and set the SM_AUTHORITY environment variable:

Procedure

1. Go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory and enter the following command to open the runcmd_env.sh file:
   sm_edit conf/runcmd_env.sh
2. Use the following syntax to add the SM_AUTHORITY variable and its value:
   SM_AUTHORITY=”<STD>”
3. Save and close the file.
   The modified version of the runcmd_env.sh file is saved to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf directory.

   Note: At this point, any Smart Assurance program that is started from this installation directory will use the applicable environment variables that are specified in the runcmd_env.sh file.
4. Restart the Smart Assurance programs that were previously launched from this installation directory for the environment variable to take effect.
