Buddy,
Thanks for the response.
You are talking to someone who is very ignorant of how to even start down this
road.
At the present the DB is setup without IDs (USER is NONE) I need to know how to
get that setup in the first place.
The code set var vu = (CVAL('USER')) gives my NONE as an answer.
So I will need to start from the beginning.
We are talking about an application in which 12 to 15 users will be accessing
the DB.
I do not know the passwords for the users.

Use the CVAL(‘USER’) and CVAL(‘NETUSER’)
If CVAL(‘USER’) <> CVAL(‘NETUSER’) THEN
PAUSE 2 USI ‘Not Authorized’
EXIT
ENDIF
Just make sure the CFG name matches the Network User Name. This way you won’t
have to worry about R:Base password Windows should handle everything.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - using user IDs and passwords for RBASE
We are needing to change our RBASE application so as to require user IDS and
passwords. Here is what we want to do.
1. We want the computer login USER and password to be used as the login for
RBASE.
In other words, I want this to be automatic so the user does not need to fill
in their user and password for each session of RBASE.
When they log into the computer that information would go into variables and
RBASE would see it in either the CFG or DAT file.
1. To possibly complicate matters, out IT has instituted a mandatory
password change within a certain time periods (ongoing into the future).
Of course the code would have to take password changes into consideration.
1. I noticed in the command pdf there is a WINAUTH command that looks
promising, however this is all new to me.
I have an idea of what the code would have to do but have never really worked
with meshing what Windows “sees” with RBASE.
