Configuring a directory file for Directory Mode

When the Receiver runs in Directory Mode, it requires a properly configured directory file. Normally, the directory file is a common file for an entire group, department, organization, or entire company. The directory file can manage and administer the assignment of systems for any number of users. This file is specified as a normal ASCII text file as follows:

domainName userName1 sender1 sender2 ... senderN

domainName userName2 sender1 sender2 ... senderN

For example, the following text specifies the directory for the users Sally and Joe.

Domain1 sally sender1 sender2 sender3

Domain1 joe sender4 sender5 sender6

In this example:

∙Sally is assigned sender1, sender2, and sender3

∙Joe is assigned sender4, sender5, sender6

If the domain name, user name, or sender name contains white-space characters, then the name can be enclosed in double-quotes as follows:

"domain 1" "sally user" "sender 1" "sender 2" "sender 3"

"domain 1" "joe user" "sender 4" "sender 5" "sender 6"

When using the directory file for users on either Linux or HP-UX systems, the "domain name" does not apply. Simply use the keyword "UNIX" in place of the domain name. For example:

UNIX sally sender1 sender2 sender3

Save the directory file on a readily accessible network file share or mapped drive so that each Receiver can read the file at start-up.
