6.2.4.1 Turning on Authentication

In order to turn on authentication, you must create one or more USER records in the ISV server's options file. This is done with the new rlmadduser utility (or “rlmutil rlmadduser”).

To add a user, run:

% rlmadduser options-file-name username password

This command adds the specified username/password pair to the end of the options-file specified.

Some notes:

• Usernames and passwords must be <= 10 characters long
• Usernames and passwords are CASE SENSITIVE
• Usernames and passwords cannot contain white space or any of the following characters:

  "<", ">", "&", “:”, and single (''' or '`') or double-quotes (")

• If there are no USER records in the ISV server options file, the server does no authentication of clients.
