Using the Local Configuration Tool
The SDX local configuration tool is a GUI that enables you to easily configure properties for the SAE, license server, directory, and SNMP agent components of the SDX software.

NOTE: Two SAEs are provided in the SDX software:

SAE for JUNOS (UMCsae package), installed in /opt/UMC/sae by default.

SAE for JUNOSe ( UMCssp package), installed in /opt/UMC/ssp by default

We do not support both SAEs being installed on the same host.

To launch the local configuration tool for a component, issue the config command from the component's installation directory. The first time you issue the command, the local properties file for that component is created from a template. Table 16 lists some commonly used options for this command. If you want the command process to be started in the background and leave the UNIX session window open, you can append the ampersand character (&) to the command option.

Option

Description

-a
--apply

Applies the configuration changes made in the local *.in startup files to an SAE host. Only necessary if you have previously made changes in the HTTP tab in the directory configuration and now wish to apply the changes. If the configuration is shared by multiple SAE hosts, you must issue config -a on each host where you want the HTTP tab changes to take effect.

-D
--binddn

Specifies an alternative DN for binding with the directory. The default is taken from the file etc/default.properties.

-g
--get

Gets configuration from directory as a file.

-p
--put

Puts configuration into directory from file.

-H
--help

Displays help information.

-h
--host

Specifies an alternate directory hostname. The default is taken from the file etc/default.properties.

-l
--local

Launches the tool to configure SAE parameters and immediately applies the changes to the local *.in startup files.

-w
--password

Specifies an alternative password for binding with the directory. The default is taken from the file etc/default.properties.

The local configuration tool uses GUI elements that are familiar to anyone experienced with GUIs. Figure 31 describes buttons commonly used in the GUI.

Figure 31: GUI buttons
The local configuration tool provides context-sensitive help (tool tips) for the fields displayed in the GUI. Hover the cursor over a field to display the help information for that field. Move the cursor to dismiss the help pop-up.

To configure a particular feature, click the tab for that feature at the top of the window. For example, to configure the LDAP parameters, click the LDAP tab.
