Chapter 1 Before You Install Netscape Enterprise Server 15

Enterprise ServerCreating a DNS Alias for the

Server

If your server will run on one machine among many in a network, you or your

system administrator should set up a DNS CNAME record or an alias that points to

the actual server machine. Later, you can change the actual hostname or IP address

of the server machine without having to change all URLs that point to the server

machine.

For example, you might call the server my_server.my_company.

com and then use an

alias like

www.my_company.com. So the URLs to documents on your server would

always use the www alias instead of my_server.

UNIX and Linux User Accounts for the Server

When the Enterprise Server starts, it runs with a UNIX or Linux user account that

you specify during installation. Any child processes of the server are created with

this account as the owner. It is best to create a UNIX or Linux account for the server

that has restricted access to your system resources. The account needs read

permissions for the configuration files and write permissions for the

logs

directory. For security reasons, the user account shouldn’t have write permissions

to some of the configuration files, though some, such as the access control files,

should be group writable.

If you don’t create a dedicated user account for Enterprise Server, on many

platforms you can use the account with the name

nobody, but you might not want

to give the user

nobody permissions for running the Enterprise Server. In addition,

the user

nobody might not work on some systems. Some systems assign a user ID

of -2 for the user

nobody. A user ID of less than 0 generates an error during

installation. Check the

/etc/passwd file to see if the uid for nobody exists, and

make sure it is greater than 0.

NOTE

DNS names should start with a letter, not a number.

NOTE

It’s strongly recommended that you use a dedicated account for the server.
