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.

VenueServer.py creates VenueServer.cfg and VenueServer.dat in the current directory.


best regards,
