If access through the firewall is needed for other ports (eg., the Kerberos kdc), set up a separate
tunnel for each port the firewall does not allow through.
• On the client machine, run the GUI:
• For Kerberos authentication:
% hpssgui.pl -S hpssgui.sessionlog -k krb5.conf -n 49999 -h
localhost
• For UNIX authentication:
% hpssgui.pl -S hpssgui.sessionlog -s unix -u example.com -n
49999 -h localhost
The HPSS Login window should open on the client machine for the user to log in. If it doesn't, then retry
the last step, running the GUI, using the -d option for debug output and the -S option to log output to a
session log file. This file will provide some information about what is going wrong.
3.4. Multiple SSM Sessions
Multiple concurrent sessions of the graphical user interface and/or command line utility can be executed
by the same user with no special modifications. Each session should specify a unique session log file.
3.5. SSM Window Conventions
This section lists conventions used by SSM and Java, on which SSM is based. The following list does not
cover all features of all windows; it only describes the most important points.
• Lists may be sorted by any column. Click on the column header of the desired column to sort the
list by the items in that column. The column header will become highlighted and will display an
up or down arrow to indicate the direction of the sort. Click the column header a second time to
change the direction of the sort.
• List tables have a field that shows the number of displayed and total items in the list in the format
X/Y where X is the number of items displayed and Y is the total number of items in the list. The
field is left justified under the table. The X and Y values will differ if preferences are set to filter
some items out of the list.
• The button panel to the right of the list can be hidden or displayed by clicking the tall, thin button
between the list and button panel labeled '||'. If the button is pressed when the panel is displayed,
the button panel will hide, allowing more space for the list. The button panel may be re-displayed
by pressing the '||' button again.
• Colors and fonts are used consistently from window to window. They may differ from platform to
platform because the default Java Look and Feel settings vary between platforms.
The hpssgui script accepts the following flag parameters in order to control the graphical user
interface's look and feel:
· -F "Look and Feel"
• Valid values: windows, mac, motif, metal, gtk. Select the Look and Feel that is
