Console Configuration
General
The Console configuration file is the simplest of all the
configuration files, and in general, you should not need to
change it except for the password.
It simply contains the information necessary to
contact the Director or Directors.
For a general discussion of configuration file and resources
including the data types recognized by Bacula, please
see the Configuration chapter of this
manual.
The following Console Resource definition must be defined:
- Director -- to
define the Director's name and his access password. Note,
you may define more than one Director resource in the
Console configuration file. If you do so, the Console program
will ask you which one you want to use.
The Director resource defines the attributes of the Director running on
the network.
You may have multiple Director resource specifications in a
single Console configuration file. If you have
more than one, you will be prompted to choose one when you start
the Console program.
- Director
- Start of the Director records.
- Name = <name>
- The director name used by the system administrator.
This name must be identical to the Name specified in
the Director resource of the Director's configuration file.
- DIRPort = <port-number>
- Specify the port to use to connect
to the Director. This value will most likely already be set to the value
you specified on the --with-base-port option of the
./configure command. This port must be identical to the
DIRport specified in the Director resource of the Director's configuration file.
The default is 9101 so this record is not normally specified.
- Address = <address>
- Where the address is a host name,
a fully qualified domain name, or a network address used to connect
to the Director.
- Password = <password>
- Where the password is the
password needed for the Director to accept the Console connection.
This password must be identical to the Password specified in
the Director resource of the Director's configuration file. This
record is required.
An actual example might be:
Director {
Name = HeadMan
address = rufus.sibbald.com
password = xyz1erploit
}
A example Console configuration file might be the following:
Director {
Name = HeadMan
address = "my_machine.my_domain.com"
Password = Console_password
}
