Configure access to a remote spell checker
Configure access to run spell checker on a remote server.
To configure access to a remote spell checker server, perform the following configuration task.
- Locate the SpellCheckConfig.properties file in the following directory on the portal server:
- UNIX:
portal_server_root/shared/app/com/ibm/wps/odc/spellchecker/util/
i5/OS:
portal_server_root/shared/app/com/ibm/wps/odc/spellchecker/util/
- Update the SpellCheckConfig.properties file with the remote server information:
- RemoteHost=remote server host.name
- RemotePort=remote server port number
- Remote=true
- SpellCheck_Remote_Context=/remote_context_root/spellcheck
- SpellCheck_Context=/local_context_root/spellcheck
The remote_context_root is the context root of the spell checker service being hosted on the remote server. The local_context_root is the context root of the portal server accessing the remote server.
- Save the changes.
- Restart the server.
If the portal server is securely protected using SSL, then the remote spell checker must be configured to use SSL as well. The RemotePort must be set to the secure SSL port on the remote application server that is hosting the spell checker service. The remote server must import the portal server's client certificate into its SSL configuration repertoire's truststore and into the cacerts file found under the /AppServer/java/jre/lib/security directory on the remote server. The portal server must also import the remote server's client certificate into its SSL configuration repertoire's truststore and into the cacerts file found under the /AppServer/java/jre/lib/security directory on the portal server.
Setting up the PASE environment for spell checker on i5/OS :
- Add the following variables as system (SYS) variables using WRKENVVAR:
PASE_THREAD_ATTACH='Y' QIBM _JAVA_PASE_STARTUP='/usr/lib/start32'
- Restart the server.
