Remote automatic login, maximum network sessions

» close window

The Question is:

 
Dear Sir
 
     I have 2 Alpha boxes ,both are dse 20 , running on vms 7.1-2. I have two
 questions about my usages.
  1. I would like to telnet from one box to another with autologin. How could I
 do that.
  2. What is the maximum number of session which I can use "set host" from one
 box to the other ? Which parameters I have to look at ?
Please help , thanks.
 
Regards
 
Wichaya Charnlertlakha
 


The Answer is :

 
  One question at a time, please.
 
  For setting up DECwindows over TCP/IP, please see topic 2178.
 
  2: Please see topic 1460.
 
  1: Interactive automatic login or the necessary distributed authentication
     support is not permitted at present.  (Development of support for
     Kerberos authentication within various clients is underway at present
     (August 2001) and Kerberos client and server APIs are available in
     OpenVMS V7.3 and later, and XDM (XDMCP) is available in TCP/IP Services
     V5.1 and later.)  You can set up a username with a null password, of
     course.  See below for an alternative approach.

$!	RDECW.COM
$!
$!	RDECW.COM is used to get an application running on a remote node
$!	(over DECnet) and with a DECwindows display aimed back at the
$!	originating node.
$!
$!	The following command options or formats -- searched in order --
$!	are available.  Each command template is followed by an example of
$!	the template.
$!
$!	    = To activate a DECwindows terminal on the remote node:
$!		$ @SYS$LOGIN:RDECW    <node>	#DECTERM
$!		$ @SYS$LOGIN:RDECW    XDELTA	#DECTERM
$!
$!	    = To activate an image on the specified remote node...
$!		$ @SYS$LOGIN:RDECW    <node>	<image>
$!		$ @SYS$LOGIN:RDECW    XDELTA	SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$MAIL.EXE
$!
$!	    = To execute a single DCL command on the remote node...
$!		$ @SYS$LOGIN:RDECW    <node>	<dcl-command>
$!		$ @SYS$LOGIN:RDECW    XDELTA	NOTES/DECWINDOWS
$!
$!	DCL commands and utilities (such as NOTES) that support and/or accept
$!	a /DECWINDOWS or /FORMAT=DECWINDOWS display qualifier should always
$!	be specified with the DECwindows display qualifier enabled.
$!
$!	CONFIGURATION and SET-UP: A copy of this procedure must reside in the
$!	local login directory *and* the login directory of any node it is to
$!	be used remotely on.  (The remote directory might be a default network
$!	username/account, or it might be the default directory for a proxy
$!	login, or it could be the directory associated with an explicitly
$!	specified access control string.)
$!
$!	If you choose to modify this command procedure, *please* rename the
$!	result -- to avoid potential protocol collisions with this procedure.
$!	Do not (re)use the name RDECW.COM!  Thanks!

$!	V0.0-000|0|	prehistory	Steve Hoffman (XDELTA::HOFFMAN)
$!	RDECW.COM procedure written.
$!
$!	V1.2-000|2|	28-Feb-1990	Steve Hoffman (XDELTA::HOFFMAN)
$!	added protocol checks, added support for DCL commands.  This
$!	procedure assumes CREATE/TERM is present -- which means it
$!	will work on DECwindows V2 or better (VMS V5.3 and up) only.
$!
$!	V1.2-000|3|	06-Jan-1992	Steve Hoffman (XDELTA::HOFFMAN)
