onconfig.std value
Not set. The system hosts.equiv file is used.
values
File name. The path is assumed to be $ONEDB_HOME/etc. Consider using the following naming convention:
authfile.server_name
The file that is specified by the REMOTE_SERVER_CFG configuration parameter must be in $ONEDB_HOME/etc.
takes effect
After you edit your onconfig file and restart the database server.
When you reset the value dynamically in your onconfig file by running the onmode -wf command.
When you reset the value in memory by running the onmode -wm command.

Usage

For applications that connect to the database server as the root user, the REMOTE_SERVER_CFG configuration parameter is not applicable.

The format of the file that is specified by the REMOTE_SERVER_CFG configuration parameter is the same as the format of the system hosts.equiv file.

If the REMOTE_SERVER_CFG configuration parameter is not set, and you run the SQL administration API task() or admin() function with the cdr add trustedhost argument, the database server performs the following actions:
  1. The REMOTE_SERVER_CFG configuration parameter is set to authfile.DBSERVER.
  2. The authfile.DBSERVER file is created in $ONEDB_HOME/etc.
  3. The specified trusted-host information is added to $ONEDB_HOME/etc/authfile.DBSERVER.
  4. If the database server is part of a high-availability cluster, the trusted-host information is propagated to the trusted-host files of the other cluster servers.
Note: If the sqlhosts file of the database server uses the s=6 option, you must also set the S6_USE_REMOTE_SERVER_CFG configuration parameter to 1 to use the file specified REMOTE_SERVER_CFG configuration parameter. Otherwise, the database server uses the system hosts.equiv file instead of the file specified REMOTE_SERVER_CFG configuration parameter.
