Configuring the drivers for IPv6

HP-UX, Linux 32 and Linux 64

You can directly enter the IPv6 address instead of IPv4 address in the MXODSN or odbc.ini
(when using the unixODBC driver manager) configuration files. The driver recognizes the IPv6
address format and connects to the server.

The following is a sample from the configuration file:

Server = TCP: 2620:0:a17:e03e:a00:8eff:fe08:cd65:3033

OSS

Perform the following steps for the driver to use IPv6:
1.

Ensure that the TCPIP DEFINE is set to use IPv6 when you start the application. The value,
IPv6 is case sensitive.

2.

Add the TCPIP^PROCESS^NAME DEFINE.

Delete the existing DEFINE using the following command:

del_define =TCPIP^PROCESS^NAME

Add the DEFINE using the following command:

PARAM TCPIP^PROCESS^NAME $
add_define =TCPIP^PROCESS^NAME, class MAP,
file “.$

For more information, see the TCP/IPv6 Configuration and Management Manual.

3.

Start the OSH or OSS process. If the process is started directly, the environmental variable
TCPIP_PROCESS_NAME must point to IPv6 process.

Windows

Perform the following steps for the ANSI or Unicode driver to use IPv6:
1.

Select Start -> Programs -> Release.

Release

can be NonStop ODBCMX or NonStop ODBCMX

Unicode

.

2.

Create or modify a DSN.

3.

Select the Network tab to enter the IPv6 address in the MXCS IP Address field.

IPv6 is not supported for the driver through HP SSL. For more information about SSL, see the
HP NonStop SSL Reference Manual.

NOTE:

The SSL ODBC/MX and MXOAS processes must run on the same TCP/IP process.

TargetPort

must not be specified with HP NonStop SSL REMOTE PROXY SETUP macro.

Configuring a secure ODBC connection using NonStop SSL

Perform the following tasks to encrypt the ODBC connection by using NonStop SSL with Windows
driver:

1.

Install a NonStop SSL Server process for the ODBC/MX Association Server for the target
MXCS subsystem.

2.

Install the RemoteProxy software and configure Remote Proxy to route ODBC connections to
the NonStop SSL Server process.

3.

Modify the connection attributes of client data source for Windows drivers to connect to Remote
Proxy.

Installing a NonStop SSL Server process for ODBC/MX

Installing a NonStop SSL Server process is restricted to the super.super user.

Perform the following steps on the NonStop server to install a NonStop SSL Server process for
ODBC/MX:
