APP Server utility
APP Server installation and setup
Pipeline User’s Guide Preliminary January 30, 1998 C-3
For example:
APP Host=7001
7001 is the default UDP port for the APP Server.
Note:
If you change this number, you must specify the new UDP port
number in the Password AppServer Control Panel (Macintosh), APP Server
utility (DOS), the WIN.INI file (Windows), or /etc/services (UNIX). The
Pipeline and the host running the APP Server utility must agree on the UDP
port number.

Close the Ethernet profile.
Using App Server with Axent SecureNet
When using SecureNet, you must install a Softkey on your computer’s hard drive,
or supply a diskette-based Softkey that needs to be inserted in your computer’s
floppy drive when logging onto a SecureNet system. If the Softkey is present
when App Server is installed, the App Server INI file (or Password AppServer
Control Panel file on a Mac) is automatically modified to work with the Axent
SecureNet Softkey. (If the Softkey is installed after App Server, you can
manually modify the Path key in the WinSNK section of the INI file, as shown
below.)
The App Server functions as usual with Softkey, except that whenever App
Server is started it attempts to find the Softkey, and if found, the Axent SecureNet
software prompts for a PIN. Once entered, all subsequent transactions between
the authentication server and the App Server are transparent, unless an error
occurs, or if the Softkey has expired.
Creating banner text for the password prompt
You can create a banner that greets users when a challenge message is received.
The APPSRVR.INI file, in the directory in which the APP Server utility is
installed, should contain banner text to be displayed along with the password
prompt when a challenge message is received. The banner can be up to 200
characters and up to five lines of text. To set up the BANNER on a Macintosh,
use the information below and enter it in the Password AppServer Control Panel.
