Installing native platform authentication

The files to support native platform authentication are installed with the Host On-Demand server. On Windows NT, the following additional steps are required:

1. Define the system environment variable hod_dir and set the value to the drive letter where Host On-Demand is installed (hod_dir=c:).

   System variables can be edited using the Environment tab of the System icon in the Control Panel.

2. Using Windows NT Explorer, locate the file odsrapd.reg in the Host On-Demand bin directory. Add the registry settings defined in the file by double-clicking on the file.
3. Using regedit, find the registry value for:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\On-Demand Server for Windows NT\2.0\installpath
    

   Edit the installpath value so that "%hod_dir%" is replaced with the drive letter where Host On-Demand server is installed. For example, if Host On-Demand is installed on the d drive, change:

   %hod_dir%\Program Files\IBM\HostOnDemand\private

   to

   d:\Program Files\IBM\HostOnDemand\private 

4. Reboot your system.
