Configure or reconfigure the PPM Server

If you configured the PPM Server during installation, it is probably not necessary to reconfigure it unless your environment or requirements have changed. If you did not configure the server during installation, configure it now.

You can configure most of the parameters from the Admin Console. See View and modify server configuration parameters from Administration Console for details. In some cases however, configuration requires custom parameters. For information about when and how to configure the server using custom parameters, see Define custom and special parameters.

The server configuration tool runs in both console and graphical modes. To run in graphical mode in a UNIX environment, the tool requires an X Window session.

This section contains the following topics:

• Define custom and special parameters
• Enable secure RMI
• Configure private key authentication with secure shell
• Configure secure PPM pages
• Generate password security (Optional)
• Configure Solaris and Linux environments to use Deployment Management
