It also describes the configuration of the CDE environment.
- Installation of the Agent
Create the directory /opt/ace/data and copy the sdconf.rec from the ACE/Server to this directory.
# mkdir ?p /opt/ace/data
Install the ACE/Agent software on your Sun machine.
# /cdrom/as41097/aceagent/sol/sdsetup ?client ?o yes
The installation prompts you for a few questions. Specify the top level directory /opt.
- Configuration of the CDE environment
Locate the system?s display manager configuration file Xconfig. This file is found in the directory /usr/dt/config.
Make sure you configured the file as follows. Make sure the line Dtloging*authorize: False is activated.
Dtlogin.errorLogFile: /var/dt/Xerrors
Dtlogin.pidFile: /var/dt/Xpid
Dtlogin.accessFile: Xaccess
Dtlogin.servers: Xservers
Dtlogin*resources: %L/Xresources
Dtlogin*startup: Xstartup
Dtlogin*reset: Xreset
Dtlogin*setup: Xsetup
Dtlogin*failsafeClient: Xfailsafe
Dtlogin*terminateServer: True
Dtlogin*authorize: False
Dtlogin*session: /usr/dt/bin/Xsession
Make a copy of the /usr/dt/config/Xstartup file and append the contents of the Xprompt file to the /usr/dt/config/Xstartup.
# cp /usr/dt/config/Xstartup /usr/dt/config/Xstartup.org
# cat /opt/ace/prog/Xprompt >> /usr/dt/config/Xstartup
Modify the beginning of the file /usr/dt/bin/Xsession file as follows. The beginning of the Xsession file should look like this example
Note: make sure the spaces below are in there
#!/bin/ksh
TESTSHELL=`/opt/ace/prog/sdfindshell`
if [ -n "$TESTSHELL" ]; then
SHELL=$TESTSHELL; export SHELL
fi

#
# Xsession
#
# Common Desktop Environment (CDE)
#
# Configuration script for the Login Manager
#
Add the sdshell to the file /etc/shells:
# echo ?/opt/ace/prog/sdshell? >> /etc/shells
Give a user who is going to authenticate through the ACE/Server the /opt/ace/prog/sdshell shell in the /etc/passwd file.
After all the changes that are made, it is important to reboot the system to reset the MAGIC-COOKIE used by the CDE environment.
# shutdown ?y ?i6 ?g0
When the system is back up, test the CDE login.
