NAME

dkuidtab – host server user ID mapping file

DESCRIPTION

This file is used by the dkserver(1M) program to obtain information on how to map user ID’s from incoming

call requests to valid user ID’s on the local system. The file consists of one or more lines, each with three

fields. Based on control information in srvtab(4), dkserver(1M) may scan this file for a match of the

Originating Group name and user ID. If no match is found, dkserver(1M) advances to the next control file

entry. If a match is found, the remaining fields in dkuidtab indicate which local user name and password to

use in processing the call request. The default user ID mapping file is /etc/opt/dk/dkuidtab.

This file is updated by the authorize(1M) program. The lines consist of the following fields delimited by

blanks:

Field 1 area/exch/group.user[/key] –– the Originating Group name followed by a period, the remote

user ID, and an optional slash followed by a key. The key contains the value of the DKKEY

environment variable at the time of the authorization. The DKKEY variable allows for pre-

establishment of more than one login to a remote host from the same login on the local host. See

authorize(1M).

Field 2 The login name of the user to be used on the local system.

Field 3 The encrypted password of the user on the local system, or a ’:’ if the user does not have a

password.
