Create a DSA Configuration File

By default, all DSAs share a common configuration file. But we strongly recommend that you create a custom configuration file for the classification cache DSA.

To create a configuration file for the classification cache DSA

  1. Find the default DSA configuration file, default.dxc, in %DXHOME%/config/settings.
    %DXHOME%

    Is a Windows environment variable that specifies the path to the CA Directory installation folder. In a typical installation, this variable is set to:

    C:\Program Files\CA\Directory\dxserver

  2. Copy and rename default.dxc to <DSA Name>.dxc.
    <DSA_Name>

    Is the name of the Classification Cache DSA. It defaults to ccscache.

  3. Change the initialization settings for the cache DSA.
    1. Find <DSA Name>.dxi in the %DXHOME%/config/servers directory.
    2. Locate the following the line:
      ../settings/default.dxc 
      
    3. Change this line to:
      ../settings/<DSA Name>.dxc 
      

    Now you must edit the <DSA Name>.dxc file to enforce security. See the next section for details.
