-Running with a localhost rvd

As a further precaution, AMI applications are required to specify localhost as part of the TIBCO Rendezvous daemon parameter in order to prevent remote connections to its rvd daemon. Instructions to do this for UNIX and Microsoft Windows platforms are given below.

UNIX Procedure

1. Add a command to start the localhost rvd prior to starting any TIBCO Hawk processes, as follows:

rvd -listen tcp:127.0.0.1:<daemon>

2. Modify hawkagent.cfg and hawkhma.cfg and, in the -rvd_session parameter, specify the following:

tcp:127.0.0.1:<daemon>

Microsoft Windows Procedure

Use rvntsreg.exe to install a localhost rvd as a Microsoft Windows service.

3. Create an rvd service using rvntsreg.exe. Use the following parameters:

-listen tcp:127.0.0.1:<daemon>

4. Make all TIBCO Hawk services dependent upon this new rvd service.
5. In the Configuration Utility, modify the daemon parameter to the following:

tcp:127.0.0.1:<daemon>
