1)What is the relationship between the CN embedded in the X509
certificate
and the user ID running the VenueClient. I have had cases where if the
two
differ I get an authorization failure when trying to get into the
VenueServer.
Each user has a certificate repository, and within that repo a default
certificate that is
used for running the venue client and other AG software. I'm not sure
what you mean when
you say 'if the two differ'. Can you clarify?
Hi Thomas:
To clarify, suppose the CN in the certificate is set to West Suhanic but the
user ID that I am
logged in as is wsuhanic. I have received authorization failures when trying
to connect to a VenueServer
via a VenueClient with the CN=West Suhanic but the login ID set to wsuhanic.
The only remedy was to
set the CN to wsuhanic .
The only dependency I can imagine in this case is that you changed authorization to allow
actions for 'CN=wsuhanic', but not for 'CN=West Suhanic'. You should check that in the
venue server authorization.
2)How does one create a configfile for the VenueServer? Could I please
have
an example configfile.
(I would like to create it without using an interface. Editing it with
vi is
preferable.)
The VenueServer will create a config file with defaults when it runs.
Most of the options
are configurable using the VenueManagement application. You can certainly
edit with vi if
you like, but you run the risk of invalidating the config file.
Can you please tell me where I can find the VenueServer config file.
