Configuring an Application to Use a Local NIC Host

If you want an application to use a local NIC host, you enable the local NIC host and configure associated properties.

For more information about local NIC hosts, see Chapter 5, Locating Subscriber Information.

To use SDX Configuration Editor to configure a NIC host that runs within the same application:

1. In the navigation pane, select a configuration file for the NIC proxy you want to configure.
2. Depending on the configuration file, select the NIC proxy tab or the NIC proxy section on another tab.
3. Expand the Local NIC Host Configuration section.
4. In the Local NIC Host Configuration section, edit or accept the default values for the fields.

See Local NIC Host Configuration Fields.

5. Select File > Save.
6. Right-click the configuration file, select System Configuration > Export to LDAP Directory.
