RE: [U2] [UV/Redback] How can my UV code determine the redback user

[Susan Joslyn]

Actually, this discussion is all true as far as user-users.  Business users.
Web users. But Adrian is wanting to audit stuff that gets changed in
development mode.  And this is actually possible.  And I have notes about
how to do it.  But I can't locate them on short notice right now.  But it is
in release notes for how to do the revision control stuff.  There's a hook
where you can put a program and one of the variables available to you is the
IDE user.  

Let me know if you can't find it and I'll look harder.

(Disclaimer) I am just guessing, but it sounds like they upgraded AIX
and didn't upgrade UV (or the other way around). You might want to check
the AIX version and 8.3.3.1 against the product matrix on the IBM
website to see if the 8.3.3.1 is certified on that version of AIX.

Try replacing the $ in line 2 with @.  This will cause it to resolve to an 
environment variable.  You probably already have some of these in your 
VOC, such as _MAP_

001: F
002: @UDTHOME/sys/_MAP_

RE: [U2] [UV/Redback] How can my UV code determine the redback us er name?

[GarryS]

Since, the web is stateless. And you need to play according to the "sandbox"
rules.  What we do is have a LOGIN screen and if it is successful  we create
a "COOKIE" on the user session that stores a unique key that is retrieved
from the LOGIN validation database. Depending on the HTML page and Query we
can use the cookie to determine who the customer is, so as to only retrieve
their info.

For the benefit of the group (I emailed David offline).

In windows it's the @ sign not $ sign for environment variables.

ie. 002: @UDTBIN\saved_logs

Re: [U2][UD] Using Environmental Variables in VOC...

[Don Verhagen]

It works on UNIX, however, you could have a program get the environment 
variable and write out the voc with the path information.

UDTBIN_PATH = GETENV("UDTBIN")
SAVEDLOG_PATH = UDTBIN_PATH:"saved_logs"

VOC.REC= "DIR"
VOC.REC<2> = SAVEDLOG_PATH
VOC.REC<3> = "D_BP"

It would seem unnecessary, but hey it's Friday and I'm leaving for the beach

Just as a data point, I have this kind of thing happen to me on XP (UV
not even installed) all the time as a workstation. So I don't think it
requires a disconnect to occur. It just, well, happens.

RE: [U2] [UV] Resize problems

[Jeff Fitzgerald]

We see this very, very often on uv / NT.  We've talked to the uv support
guys and they say it is an NT problem.  What happens is that the table of
open files becomes out of sync with reality -- NT "thinks" that the file is
open, even though it isn't.  When you attempt the resize, NT "tells" uv that
the file is open and the uv RESIZE quits with the error message that you
saw. 

The solution is to reboot the server, thus resetting the table of open
files.  If there is a solution not requiring a reboot I am not aware of it.
Since this seems to be an NT problem, bouncing uv doesn't seem to resolve
it.

I suspect that the table becomes out of sync due to abnormal disconnects,
etc.  However, I've not been able to purposely cause the problem nor can I
usually trace the problem to any specific network problem, etc.

If anyone else has any insights it would be appreciated, as it's a pain to
reboot before resizing.

on UniData 5.2 on AIX 4.3.2, which we are upgrading to the latest version of 
Primac on UniData 6 on a Solaris server.  We do have a couple of large 
FileMaker Pro databases that we have taken over from user departments and 
enhanced.  We'd like to migrate those elsewhere (I'm pushing for UniData, of 
course) but it won't happen quickly.  We have no SQL Server or .NET 
applications at this time, though we'd like to see easier access to all that 
glorious information in UniData.  We use XML extensively with one of our 
customers and some of our production workflow uses XML.  I have done work with 
XSLT as part of both uses of XML.  We do have some Windows servers but most of 
our production servers are Unix boxes.  Workstations are mostly Windows PCs but 
we do use Macs, primarily in our production workflow.  OS X is good enough that 
we might see some increase on the Mac side where people have a choice.

RE: [U2] [UV/Redback] How can my UV code determine the redback user name?

[Mike Randall]

George,

There you are getting into server authentication.  Redback will run with
Apache.  I guess it is dependent on what web technology you are using with
it (Java, JSP, CGI) as to how that info can be made available to U2.

I focused on the Microsoft technologies (IIS, ASP, ASP.Net) because of a
perceived shorter learning curve coming from a Pick background with VB/VB
Script versus Java.   With IIS, you can set a server for windows
authentication where you get the windows user id dialog box.   Although I
haven't gone that route, I'm sure you can find a way to access it to use in
your code.  So I would say the answer to your question is yes.

Instead, I write my own login/security routines which is tied to the
application for things like specific program access, printer defaults, email
addresses, etc.   

In your case, I imagine the htaccess/htpassword files could be used as a
validation source in ASP but the piping to read it and get it back to U2
would have to be figured out.  If it works now and you can get it via your
cgi script, it most likely work the same if you continued to use Apache.

Mike,

Right now, I have an .htaccess/.htpassword file combo for apache web server
when you hit the site, the webserver gives you a login box. This information
is available to a .cgi program from the webserver.

Can the ASP server supply the Redback routine this information as well?
and/or
does the ASP server have that username/password ability?

RE: [U2] [UV] Run phantom as another user

[graham.forbes]

Windows 2000, tested running routine as another user and works ok, only seems
to fail when being run from Redback phantom, even though I have started the
redback phantom? Tested from a 'normal' phantom and it works OK.

Any thoughts on what's different from RedBack responder to phantom in
Unidata?

In a BASIC program you can use the AUTHORIZE statement to set a
different
security credential.  (See the U2UG newsletter on the U2UG web site for
the
article of security)

You set the statement to AUTHORIZE username
Then compile the program as that user.
Anyone running that program will run under that usernames credentials.

Graham,

For David's very good idea to work, you must not be using "NT
Authentication" for the ODBC Connection that the BCI is using.  [You did
not say what O/S the Oracle host is running].

If the Oracle host is a Windows box, and the ODBC connection is using NT
Authentication, it will ignore whatever UID & Password you pass in, and
use the credentials of the user issuing the request.
If you are not using NT Authentication, I suggest you should use the
UniBasic encryption / decryption functions to store the password
encrypted on disk, not in plain text in the code of the program
[apologies if 'teaching Grandma to suck eggs'].

Note that you can run a SQL Stored Procedure [via SQLExecuteDirect
rather than SQLExecute], which might enable you to do all you want.

RE: [U2] [UV/Redback] How can my UV code determine the redback user name?

[Mike Randall]

Adrian,

No one connects.  Remember, this is the stateless web here.  Redback merely
has anonymous processes that handles incoming requests for U2 data.  There
is no identity.If you want to identify incoming requesters, that will
have to be part of your application.   For an intranet application for
example,  your 1st screen would be a login screen where you prompt for user
name and password.   Your application would have to validate and store it.
That name can be retrieved by your UV code.

There's a file "WWUSERS" that contains a list of redback user names (eg.

Are you sure? Unfortunately, the USA (and us as well) suffer badly from NIH. An 
accounting disaster on the scale of Enron is almost incomprehensible in Europe. 
Yes we've had some pretty bad Enron-scale foul-ups, but they've *easily* been 
confirmed as fraud (eg Maxwell) or incompetence (Marconi/General Electric (not 
your one)).

And a lot of companies in Europe were in quite a mess because SOX was *illegal* 
under European law, but some joint-listed companies can't pull their listings 
from the US stock exchanges (some rule about compulsory listing if you have 
more than so many US shareholders - so it's actually possible for a European 
company to be forced to comply with US listing rules because Americans have 
bought on the European Bourses!)

The two things that would (and have) prevented an Enron-style disaster here are 
the rules that say "if you have a controlling interest (50% or more) then you 
are financially responsible for your subsidiary" - I was shocked to discover 
that the US figure above which you have to take responsibility is 97%! And the 
chairman/board/whoever has a somewhat vague responsibility to confirm that the 
accounts are a fair representation of the state of the company. In other words, 
if you know of accounting shenanigans you can't sign ... It's interpreted 
fairly strictly, and auditors have been known to be clobbered by it, too.

I think SOX is damaging, precisely because it is OTT, and from what I've heard 
about comparing it to European practices, I gather it's probably not that 
effective, either!

Cheers,
Wol
