Re: HOWTO: Allow access without authentication from web interface to z/VM Performance Toolkit with RACF z/VM 5.3?

2008-06-10 Thread Gregg
Hi Sam,
Was hoping someone would have a better idea by now or something
changed in PerfKit since FL510VM63706 or  We don't use Toolkit
anymore, but the identify was fronted by some simple HTML in the
module. It wasn't terribly difficult to code a zap and change the
behavior.  Doing so, you will need to build a new zap for each new
release, and of course, you'd never contact the software vendor about
anything odd coming out of the zap'd module..
We set up a FCONRMT PASSFILE with one entry, e.g. PASSALL  PASSWORD
In FCONX $PROFILE:
FC MONCOLL WEBSERV ON TCPIP TCPIP 8081 IDTEST FILE FCONRMT  PASSFILE A2
and zap'd the PERFKIT MODULE to:
Chg wait 1st panel fr 3 to 1 sec
Remove userid/password prompt
Store userid/password in module
Change Submit button to Continue
Default to 40 50 32 24 scr lines
It was 77 VER/REP/LOG, NAME and END lines with 93 comment lines to
keep me on track.
If this doesn't violate some software fine print, (we'll hear shortly
if it does..X-8^) I could send you off list my last zap;
understanding, that it was specific to FL510VM63706 (nearly 3 years
old) and things move around.
There's got to be a better way...

HOWTO: Allow access without authentication from web interface to z/VM Performance Toolkit with RACF z/VM 5.3?

2008-06-05 Thread Knutson, Sam
Hi,

Coming from a z/OS background I have the RMF Data Portal deployed and we
allow anyone inside our network to view it.  I would like to deploy the
z/VM Performance Toolkit web interface in the same way.  I cannot find
anyway to allow this.

In RMF DDS SYS1.PARMLIB(GPMSRV00)

/*   */
/* - HTTP_NOAUTH specifies the host names/IP addresses that can use  */
/*   the HTTP interface without authentification (userid/password).  */
/*   Wildcards * and ? are allowed. More than one HTTP_NOAUTH*/
/*   may be present. */
/*   Note: The host running the RMF CIM provider or RMF LDAP backend */
/* must be specified here.   */
/*   Examples: HTTP_NOAUTH(sysa.boeblingen.ibm.com)  */
/*   Default:  HTTP_NOAUTH() */
/*   */
/*/
MAXSESSIONS_HTTP(20)/* MaxNo of concurrent HTTP requests */
HTTP_PORT(8803) /* Port number for HTTP requests */
HTTP_ALLOW(*)   /* Mask for hosts that are allowed   */
HTTP_NOAUTH(*)  /* GEICO allow public use of RMF DDS */

The Performance Toolkit documentation talks about identify yourself as a
mandatory step.

Is there any way to accomplish this or has anyone already requested this
as an enhancement?

Web Interface Problem

2007-02-28 Thread Greg Preddy (DECC Mechanicsburg)

All,

Is there a problem with the Web interface to this list?

I get an error when I choose Search from the IBMVM home page.

http://listserv.uark.edu/scripts/wa.exe?S1=ibmvm

This is the error:

Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, 
phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.



Yes a new 'face'... I've been in digest mode for several years.  You all 
are too quick to the replies for me, I like to sit back and soak it all 
in.  I've been doing VM since 1981, starting as an IBM designated 
specialist in the OKC branch.  I left in the downsizing in 1993, and 
have been a 'customer' since then.

Web Interface

2007-02-28 Thread Greg Preddy (DECC Mechanicsburg)

All,

Listserv web interface is working now.  I couldn't search yesterday 
evening and today until about 5 minutes after I posted, then it started 
working again.  Coincidence?
