Updating the config.properties file

Use this procedure to modify the config.properties file on the TrueSight Server Automation client.

To update the config.properties file

1. Open the config.properties file. By default, this file is initially stored in the following location:
   • (UNIX):
     /opt/bmc/bladelogic/NSH/br/config.properties
     
   • (Windows):
     C:\Program Files\BMC Software\BladeLogic\NSH\br\config.properties
     When a user runs the console for the first time, a copy of config.properties is placed in the following user-specific location:
     
   • (UNIX):
     <userHomeDirectory>/.bladelogic/config.properties
     
   • (Windows):
     <userHomeDirectory>\Application Data\BladeLogic\config.properties
     If you are setting up an AD/Kerberos environment that many users are sharing (for example, a terminal server) and you have already run the TrueSight Server Automation Console, you should modify config.properties in both locations — its initial location and in your own user-specific location.
     
2. Set the following entries to the values shown below. If an entry does not already exist in the config.properties file, add it at the end of the file.
   The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline.
