ADMIN_KEYFILE

ADMIN_KEYFILE Keyword

ADMIN_KEYFILE={value}

This keyword controls access to administrative data maintained by the server. The keyword specifies a logon key file.

The {keyfile} identifies a data file formatted similarly to an INI file that contains a [user] section. When this level of security is used, any user that tries to access the administrative services must have an entry in the [user] section of {keyfile}.

Each line in the {keyfile} must be formatted as follows:

[user]

User_{key32}={0|1} ;Comment Optional

The {key32} is a thirty-two (32) digit hexadecimal string that identifies the logon key that can access the administrative services. Each key is also assigned a value of zero (0) or one (1). If the assigned value is zero, server access is denied. If the assignment value is one, access is granted. The assignment values can be changed real-time as needed. A Sunbelt administration program named SUNADMIN is available to generate the {key32} id strings.

If the server is operating in one or both of the security modes, any runtime client that attempts to access the administrative services must match the security requirements. Otherwise, the client program terminates with an appropriate I82 error. This also means that any older runtime clients that do not support encryption will not be allowed to access the administrative services when any security level is used.
