Configuring the InfoPrint Manager AIX or Linux server
Use this procedure to configure the AIX or Linux server that has already installed InfoPrint Manager with the SAP Print Feature.
- Add a user called sapuser. This user does not have to be part of any special groups.
- Authorize the sapuser userid to issue remote commands by adding this entry to the
/etc/hosts.equiv file:
+ sapuser
- Authorize all remote servers running the SAP R/3 application to specify remote commands
on the InfoPrint Manager AIX or InfoPrint Manager Linux server as sapuser by doing
this procedure:
- Add an .rhosts file with permissions of 600 to the /home/sapuser directory.
- Edit the .rhosts file and add a line for each non-AIX or non-Linux server running
an SAP R/3 application with a plus (
+
) sign appended to it.
For added accountability among SAP systems and print jobs, you can create separate AIX or Linux users for each SAP system or SAP R/3 application server. Follow the three steps specified in this topic to create additional users (like sapuser) that you can map to each application server from which you will be using InfoPrint Manager to print.
For more information about using the rsh and rcp commands to connect to the InfoPrint Manager AIX or InfoPrint Manager Linux server and send files between servers, see your AIX Operating System or Linux Operating System documentation.
