file

This stanza entry specifies the file name and location of the obfuscated configuration file information.

file = fully_qualified_path

File name and location of the obfuscated configuration file information. The obfuscated password is generated and set by the configuration utility. Do not edit this stanza entry.

The name of the obfuscated configuration file is the same name as the related configuration file name. The file extension can be anything, but the extension is usually .conf.obf. For example, the obfuscated configuration file for ldap.conf is ldap.conf.obf.

Options

fully_qualified_path

Represents an alphanumeric string. String values are expected to be characters that are part of the local code set. The set of characters permitted in a file name can be determined by the file system and by the local code set. For Windows operating systems, file names cannot have a backward slash (\), a colon (:), a question mark (?), or double quotation marks ("). Windows operating systems path names, however, can have a backward slash (\) or a colon (:). For AIX, Linux, and Solaris operating systems, path names and file names are case-sensitive.

Usage

Conditional. Required only if, during configuration, passwords were obfuscated.

Default value

The following table shows the default installation location by platform.

Platform	File name
Linux or UNIX	/opt/PolicyDirector/etc/server_name.conf.obf
Windows	c:\program files\tivoli\policy director\etc\server_name.conf.obf

Example

The following example of setting the location of the obfuscated configuration file when using Microsoft Active Directory as the user registry on a Windows operating system:

c:\program files\tivoli\policy director\etc\ldap.conf.obf
