Example 6-1 is a sample configuration dialogue for configuring:

• The PMDF Service Dispatcher to handle the multithreaded SMTP server.
• An HTTP server to serve out PMDF documentation and forms.

Remember that the values in this sample configuration are for purposes of example only. Make sure to use values that are appropriate for your system when you perform the actual configuration.

Example 6-1 Sample Dispatcher Configuration

$ PMDF CONFIGURE DISPATCHER PMDF Dispatcher Configuration File Creation Utility, V6.2 This utility creates an initial PMDF Dispatcher configuration file PMDF_TABLE:DISPATCHER.CNF and configuration file for the PMDF HTTP server PMDF_TABLE:HTTP.CNF * NOTE * that you must have a Process Software TCP/IP package or some other TCP/IP package which supports UCX emulation for the Dispatcher to work. Do you wish to continue [Y]? y Do you wish to have a detailed explanation printed before each question [N]? y Enter the port number on which the PMDF HTTP server should listen for incoming connections. What port number do you want the PMDF HTTP server to use [7633]? [RETURN] Enter the name of the configuration file for the Dispatcher. PMDF Dispatcher configuration file name [PMDF_TABLE:DISPATCHER.CNF]? [RETURN] Enter the name of the configuration file for the HTTP server. PMDF HTTP server configuration file name [PMDF_TABLE:HTTP.CNF]? [RETURN] This procedure generates a checklist file that contains the list of steps you must perform in order to complete your PMDF configuration. This procedure does *NOT* perform these steps itself; you must do them manually. PMDF checklist file name [PMDF_TABLE:DISPATCHER.CHECKLIST]? [RETURN] This question gives you a last chance to change your mind before any files are written. Answer NO if you are not sure you want to generate the configuration you have specified. Answer YES if you do. Do you wish to generate the configuration files [Y]? y Generating the file PMDF_TABLE:DISPATCHER.CNF Generating the file PMDF_TABLE:HTTP.CNF Generating the checklist file, PMDF_TABLE:dispatcher.checklist *********************************************************************** * * To complete your PMDF configuration, carry out the steps * detailed in the checklist file PMDF_TABLE:dispatcher.checklist. * *********************************************************************** Enter Yes if you want to see the checklist now. You can still type the file out later if you say No. Do you want to see the checklist now [Y]? n Enter YES if you would now like to configure the PMDF POP and/or IMAP servers. If you answer NO, then you can configure them later with the command $ PMDF CONFIGURE MAILBOX_SERVERS Configure the POP and IMAP servers [Y]? n

Example 6-2 Sample Dispatcher Configuration Checklist File

$ type pmdf_table:dispatcher.checklist Checklist for completing the setup of your PMDF Service Dispatcher Written by SYSTEM, 1-Nov-2002 11:25:52 This file was created by the PMDF configuration generator V6.2 (1) If you did not configure PMDF to use the multithreaded SMTP server already, then you need to reconfigure it before the PMDF Service Dispatcher is started. Your TCP/IP and VMS must be of the minimum version described in the PMDF System Manager's manual. (2) You have to start a new Dispatcher or restart the currently running Dispatcher for the new configuration to take effect. The following command is to be issued on each node: pmdf startup dispatcher or pmdf restart dispatcher (3) The dispatcher needs to be started in your system startup file with the command pmdf startup dispatcher (4) The Dispatcher configuration includes a definition for the PMDF HTTP server. The PMDF HTTP server can serve out PMDF documentation, general PMDF operation monitoring information, and statistics on the Dispatcher's own operation, and allows for web-based access to PMDF popstore management, and user mailbox filters. All access to the PMDF HTTP server is disabled unless an HTTP_ACCESS mapping table is in use; access can be generally or selectively enabled via this mapping table. The PMDF-MTA configuration utility generates an HTTP_ACCESS mapping table allowing access to "internal" systems. See the PMDF System Manager's Guide for details on the use of that mapping table. Alternatively or in addition, if there is a PMDF HTTP server capability that you do not want to utilize at all, you might prefer to remove that entire section from the HTTP server configuration file, PMDF_TABLE:HTTP.CNF. See the PMDF System Manager's Guide for details on the format of this file.
