The "by" prepositional phrase authenticates that an account or
proxy account for a particular user has been set up with the
proper access control information. Use of the by preposition
is portable to other DECnet-Plus systems. Use the following
format to append access control information using the by
preposition.
by user=username, password=password, account=account, -
proxy={TRUE/FALSE}
For Tru64 UNIX, NCL ignores any use of the by proxy clause
so that the modifier "by proxy=true" (i.e., proxy access
allowed) is always in effect.
If user j_smith has privileges to access the session control
application graphics_exchange on the remote node, he can use
the by preposition as follows:
ncl> ! On node .admin.finance
ncl> show node .admin.artists session control application -
_ncl> graphics_exchange all counters, by user=j_smith, -
_ncl> password=DoNotUse
.
.
.
For Tru64 UNIX, access control does not have any effect when the
NCL command is directed to the local node. This happens because
NCL uses interprocess communication instead of DECnet-Plus to
communicate with node 0, the local node, and therefore the user's
privileges are determined by the user id that NCL is running under.
