3. Enable basic access authentication.
a. Execute the htpasswd command to set up a user ID and password for authenticating
P9000 Replication Manager.
After executing the htpasswd command, a file that manages the user ID and password
for basic access authentication of the P9000 Replication Manager will be created. For
details on valid user IDs and passwords, refer to the product information on the IBM
WebSphere Application Server Information Center.
The following is an execution example of the htpasswd command:
htpasswd /usr/local/apache/.htaccess user-name
b. See “Required Settings for the .conf File to Set Up Authentication” (page 65) to edit the
httpd.conf file.

4. Restrict access to the TCP/IP port used by the Business Continuity Manager agent.
IBM HTTP Server is the only program that can communicate with the Business Continuity
Manager agent. For details on how to configure communication between the two, see the
Communications Server IP Configuration Reference.
Collecting the Trace Log
To collect error logs and access logs between P9000 Replication Manager and IBM HTTP Server,
use the log function of the latter.
To determine whether to collect logs of IBM HTTP Server, follow the instructions from the web
administrator. Note that, if you do not collect logs, it might be difficult to determine the cause of
an error.
Creating Initialization Parameters
This section describes how to create the initialization parameters for setting up the environment
required to start Business Continuity Manager agent. YKPRM00 is a member of the initialization
parameter samples registered in the sample library during initialization. Adjust the parameters to
fit your environment.
Create a dataset to hold the initialization parameters by specifying the following attributes:
• LRECL: 80
• BLKSIZE: Multiple of 80
• RECFM: Fixed-length or blocked fixed-length record
• DSORG: Sequential or partitioned dataset
