7.9 Setting Up Special Accounts
7.9.7 Displaying Proxy Accounts
To display proxy accounts, use the AUTHORIZE command SHOW/PROXY. This
command displays only the first 255 characters of the node name, although the
command can handle a maximum of 1024 characters.
The following examples assume that proxy access from RUBY::DELAPORT to the
local account DELAPORT has been added to the network proxy authorization
file as the default. (The second example shows the DECnet-Plus equivalent of
RUBY::DELAPORT.)
Examples
1. On systems running DECnet for OpenVMS, the system displays the following
type of information:
UAF> SHOW/PROXY *::*
RUBY::DELAPORT
DELAPORT (D)
(D) indicates that DELAPORT is the default proxy.
2. On systems running DECnet-Plus, the system displays information in full
names format:
UAF> SHOW/PROXY *::*
OMNI:.US.RUBY::DELAPORT
DELAPORT (D)
(D) indicates that DELAPORT is the default proxy.
You can display information in the old format NETPROXY.DAT database by
using the /OLD qualifier with the SHOW/PROXY command; for example:
UAF> SHOW/PROXY/OLD *::*
7.9.8 Controlling Proxy Logins
Whenever a proxy login request occurs, the system verifies that proxy access on
the participating nodes is enabled. (By default, both incoming and outgoing proxy
access is enabled for each node.)
On systems running DECnet for OpenVMS, you can change proxy access or
disable it totally by using the Network Control Program (NCP). The DECnet for
OpenVMS Networking Manual describes how to use NCP to control proxy access.
On systems running DECnet-Plus software, you can change proxy access by using
the Network Control Language utility (NCL). The DECnet-Plus Network Control
Language Reference manual describes how to use NCL.
Note
For information about proxies and user authentication when using TCP/IP
Services, see the Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management.
