RE: [U2] [ot] hpux11/uv10 validate user login
Thanks for the replies. Let me ask a related question - maybe the question I should have asked in 1st place ;) My universe su solution works just peachy for terminal sessions. The new request was raised with regards to the clients web interface. Of course the common logon scenario doesn't apply here as the web is directed mainly at customer support ( availability type stuff ). However, the web login is driven by a table in universe that contains userids passwords - not the most secure environment and also completely unrelated to the users unix login/password. When the secondary login was implemented, it was suggested that the web login be tied into this rather than using the table based authentication. Ok - so now to the actual question : Their web interface is driven built on redback I have zero experience with or knowledge of it. I would have thought os(unix) level user authentication would have been handled within redback as part of its basic design/functionality. True or not true ?

Re: [U2] PCL point question.
HP printers will attempt to match your font command with what is internal to the printer. If there is not a perfect match, the next best match is used. This feature can be infuriating if you don't realize what's going on. Printout a font list from the printer and see if there's something internal that matches with what you want. The newer HP's will also print the selection command along with the font sample. If you have the HP docs or can obtain the pdf of them, there's a description in there that will tell you what parameters of the font selection command are used to guestimate a match if the exact match is not available.

I'm using a font that is fixed, so the printer is ignoring the point size setting esc ( s # V I'm using the pitch setting instead esc ( s # H Point and Pitch sizes can be used in combination depending upon the font (e.g., Letter Gothic permits 6.5pt and 12pt 10cpi on some older printers). Courier is not one that accepts both, and pitch has precedence over point size in this case. Typically, Courier 10 Pitch is approximately 12 point, and Courier 12 Pitch is approximately 10 point. These sizes used to be called Pica (10cpi) and Elite (12cpi), back when people typed letters as opposed to the typesetting they can now do at their desktops. We use Avery 5160 labels here, which are 10 labels per 8.5x11 page, 3 across, 10 down. I use the following setup strings. The font [(s] selects 12cpi Courier. The Page format [l] (that's the letter L) provides for 8 lines per inch, a 4 line top margin, and 80 printed lines per page. (esc) (s0p12h0s0b4099T (esc) l8d4e80F My label settings for a SORT-LABEL command in UniData are 3 columns, 7 rows, 1 row skipped between labels, 0 indent, 30 columns per label, 3 blanks between labels. The control string is the first line of the output file. Lines 2-8 contain 7 rows of label data, and line 9 is blank. Subsequent labels use another 7 lines of data followed by one blank. Hope this helps. --Tom Pellitieri --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
[U2] UniObject SubKeys
Hello All, I have an application that needs to be able to connect multiple times to a Universe Session. When I run this application on my local PC I am unable to connect to my local Universe while the application is running. Likewise, I am unable to run the application while connected to a local Universe session. I was told to use SubKeys to solve this problem and even though I read and obeyed the blurb about SubKeys in the UniObjects documentation, it still does not work. I have a TheSubKey as Long variable that I increment each time I connect to UniObjects, like this: TheSubKey = TheSubKey + 1: ObjSession.SubKey = Str(TheSubKey) ObjSession.Connect I used the Str() because results from a google search suggested that the subkey needs to be a string value. I have also tried it without using the Str() like this: TheSubKey = TheSubKey + 1: ObjSession.SubKey = TheSubKey ObjSession.Connect Can anyone point me in the right direction please? thanks --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2] [ot] hpux11/uv10 validate user login
Gerry, Their web interface is driven built on redback I have zero experience with or knowledge of it. I would have thought os(unix) level user authentication would have been handled within redback as part of its basic design/functionality. True or not true ? Your problem is a security issue. For a process to be able to access the password database on unix it needs root permissions. Because your redback processes have already authenticated and run with lower permissions than root, they cannot access this database. To authenticate against the HPUX password database I think you will either need to create a setuid executable owned by root (which takes the permissions of the file owner when run) and then use Ken's suggestion for accessing the password database; or use a separate system such as LDAP which allows secure access to authentication data. In general, the use of setuid executables to do this sort of job is discouraged as they tend to bypass operating system rules about how many times and how often a user can attempt to authenticate before they are locked our or delayed. I don't think Redback will be able to access the HPUX database directly except via something like LDAP (although you could try installing ssh on HPUX and getting an SSH library and having your redback process do an ssh authentication separtely from their direct access to UV).
