Activating the Database Service: Next Steps
Now that the service has been created, some additional procedures are necessary to activate it. Some of these steps apply to all systems; some apply only to customers who are using database auditing.
These steps are:
-
Update the database driver configuration file as appropriate depending on the login procedure you have chosen.
-
Link identities to the Single Sign-on system depending on the login procedure you have chosen.
Note: This option would only be used if you chose theUSE_USER_IDlogin procedure.
Updating the database driver configuration file
The database driver configuration file must be updated to contain the name of the database service. Use the service name you configured when you created the service. The required syntax for the database driver configuration file is:
SERVICENAME=YOUR_DB_SERVICE
For more information about the database driver configuration file, see Lawson Administration: Data Access for the RDBMS system you use.
Linking user identities to the database service
If you use the
USE_USER_ID login procedure, you must link all users to the database
service by creating an identity for each user on the service.
If you use the USE_PRIVILEGED_ID login procedure, you must link the
privileged user to the database service by creating an identity for the privileged user on
the service.
When you add users to the Lawson repository (LDAP directory), you typically have to create identities for users on the database service (and all other services they need identities for).
