Configuring Platform Server to Connect to Internet Server

To communicate to Internet Server, create the following Platform Server definitions:

Definition Description
Node Defines connectivity information to connect to Internet Server.
Profile Defines credentials needed to authenticate to Internet Server.

On Unix, creating node and profile definitions required the user to be a root user or in the cfadmin group. On Windows, creating node and profile definitions required the user to be an administrator user or in the cfadmin group.

Creating Node Definition

To create a node definition, complete the following steps.

    Procedure
  1. Enter the following command:
    cfnode n:mftisnode
  2. Enter the appropriate number for each prompt.
    Note: Enter the TCP port defined for the Internet Server Platform Server service.

Creating Profile Definition

To create a profile definition, complete the following steps.

    Procedure
  1. Enter the following command:
    cfprofile n:mftisnode
  2. Enter the user ID and password for the Internet Server user created in a prior step, when prompted.
  3. If asked for a local user, ensure that the local user is set to the Unix or Windows user that started the DNI daemon.
  4. If not asked for a local user, ensure the user that executed the cfprofile command must be the same user that started the DNI daemon.
