So long as there is no targeting by the caller of the SYS$ACM[W] system service (discussed in Section 33.4.5), the decision regarding which ACME agent handles a particular request is governed by the following factors:
If the syntax provided to the SYS$ACM[W] system service can be handled by only one ACME agent, that settles the matter. If it can be handled by more than one ACME agent, then the decision also depends on which ACME agent (in order) is the first to be able to map the particular principal name to a VMS user name.
Whether a particular ACME agent can map a particular principal name also depends on the mapping tables or algorithms specific to that ACME agent, but this is typically more time-consuming than simple decisions made on the basis of the syntax presented in the principal name. Consider the acceptable syntax presented in the following table:
Domain of Interpretation | Principal Name Syntax |
---|---|
VMS | username |
Windows NT | domain\user OR user@domain OR user |
Given those two ACME agents, it is possible to specify a principal name that can only be handled by the Windows NT DOI (by a full specification including the execute (@) command), but it is not possible to specify a principal name that can only be handled by the VMS DOI.
But that table only describes the situation for the combination of
those two ACME agents, the initial ones produced by
HP. The VMS ACME is always present on any
OpenVMS system, but on some systems you might omit the NT ACME and/or
include some other ACME agents, one of which might
honor some of the same syntax as the NT ACME agent.
33.4.5 Targeting Your System Service Calls
Most Authenticate Principal and Change Password calls are handled by one or more ACME agents chosen in accordance with selection criteria set by the system manager.
Your calling program can specify a target DOI using one of the following item codes:
These item codes are used when your program requires that a particular
DOI handle your request.
33.4.5.1 DOI Names
The following two DOI names supplied by HP are currently defined:
Domain of Interpretation | Name | Source of the ACME Agent |
---|---|---|
VMS | VMS | OpenVMS |
Windows NT | MSV1_0 | Advanced Server |
The following item codes affect the SYS$ACM[W] system service operations in the same way:
A similar relationship exists between the following item codes:
The system manager specifies DOI names in configuring the ACME server, although in most cases the system manager uses the registered names specified by a vendor.
DOI IDs are implicitly specified by the system manager by the order in which each is specified for the first time after each boot of the system. That means that a particular DOI ID may have an entirely different meaning on the same machine after the next reboot.
Specifying a DOI_NAME clearly gives better ease-of-use, while
specifying a DOI_ID gives slightly better performance with an overhead
penalty paid up front to look up a DOI_ID based on a DOI_NAME. Some
programs that call the SYS$ACM[W] system service, however, need to perform that
lookup in order to interpret the contents of the ACM communications buffer,
so in those cases the DOI_ID is already available and can be used in
calls to the SYS$ACM[W] system service.
33.4.5.3 Looking Up DOI and ACME IDs
Use the Query function code with a Target DOI ID of 0 (meaning the SYS$ACM[W] system service itself) to determine what DOI_ID corresponds to a given name.
The item list to do this would be as follows:
ITMCOD = ACME$_TARGET_DOI_ID
BUFSIZ = 4
BUFADR = Address of longword containing 0
ITMCOD = ACME$_QUERY_KEY_TYPE
BUFSIZ = 4
BUFADR = Address of longword containing ACME$K_QUERY_ACME_NAME
ITMCOD = ACME$_QUERY_KEY_VALUE
BUFSIZ = Characters in ACME name (times 4 if setting ACME$M_UCS2_4)
BUFADR = Address of buffer containing ACME name
ITMCOD = ACME$_QUERY_TYPE
BUFSIZ = 4
BUFADR = Address of longword containing ACME$K_QUERY_ACME_ID
ITMCOD = ACME$_QUERY_DATA
BUFSIZ = 4
BUFADR = Address of longword to receive the ACME_ID
The general nature of the Query function is that your code supplies the following items:
Your program receives back the item ACME$_QUERY_DATA.
Semantics of those items and where the data comes from is entirely up to the ACME agent that you specify as the target of the Query function.
See the documentation for that ACME agent for more
information.
33.4.7 Reporting an Event
The general nature of the Event function is that your code supplies the following items:
Your program possibly receives back item ACME$_EVENT_DATA_OUT. Whether ACME$_EVENT_DATA_OUT is supported and the exact nature of what the SYS$ACM[W] system service is supposed to do for an event is up to the ACME agent that you specify as the target of the Event function.
See the documentation for that ACME agent for more
information.
33.5 Authentication Scenarios
You can use the SYS$ACM[W] system service to accomplish the following functions:
It was possible to perform many of these functions prior to introduction of the SYS$ACM[W] system service by combining the use of the following techniques:
These steps made it difficult to provide a complete and bug-free
implementation. Furthermore, such an approach dealt only with
traditional VMS password-based authentication rather than including
add-on mechanisms. With the introduction of the SYS$ACM[W] system service, those
scenarios can be handled in a uniform, supported manner.
33.5.1 Simple User Authentication
If all information is known in advance, a call to SYS$ACMW is quite simple, as in the following example:
LOCAL STATUS, ACME_STATUS_BLOCK : VECTOR [4,LONG], NON_DIALOGUE_ITMLST : ALIAS_ON_AXP $ITMLST_DECL (ITEMS=2); ! ! Populate that item list ! $ITMLST_INIT(ITMLST = NON_DIALOGUE_ITMLST, ! ! What is the Principal Name ! (ITMCOD = ACME$_PRINCIPAL_NAME_IN, BUFSIZ = %CHARCOUNT('JENKINS'), BUFADR = UPLIT BYTE('JENKINS')), ! ! What Password was given to this routine ? ! (ITMCOD = ACME$_PASSWORD_1, BUFSIZ = .INPUT_STRING [DSC$W_LENGTH], BUFADR = .INPUT_STRING [DSC$A_POINTER] ) ); ! ! Now call the System Service ! STATUS = $ACMW (EFN=EFN$C_ENF, FUNC=ACME$_FC_AUTHENTICATE_PRINCIPAL, ITMLST=NON_DIALOGUE_ITMLST, ACMSB=ACME_STATUS_BLOCK ); |
33.5.2 Evaluating Status Codes
After any call to the SYS$ACM[W] system service, you must check
the return status from the call and the
primary status in the ACM Status Block.
Following is a sample check:
IF NOT .STATUS THEN SIGNAL_STOP ( STATUS ); IF NOT .ACME_STATUS_BLOCK [ACMESB$L_STATUS] AND ( .ACME_STATUS_BLOCK [ACMESB$L_STATUS] NEQ ACME$_OPINCOMPL ) THEN BEGIN IF .ACME_STATUS_BLOCK [ACMESB$L_ACME_ID] NEQ 0 THEN REPORT_ACME_SPECIFIC_ERROR ( ACME_STATUS_BLOCK ) ELSE IF .ACME_STATUS_BLOCK [ACMESB$L_SECONDARY_STATUS] EQL .ACME_STATUS_BLOCK [ACMESB$L_STATUS] THEN SIGNAL_STOP ( .ACME_STATUS_BLOCK [ACMESB$L_STATUS] ) ELSE SIGNAL_STOP ( .ACME_STATUS_BLOCK [ACMESB$L_STATUS], 0, .ACME_STATUS_BLOCK [ACMESB$L_SECONDARY_STATUS], 0 ); END; |
The details of handling the field ACMESB$L_ACME_STATUS depend on
the nature of the ACME agent indicated in field ACMESB$L_ACME_ID.
If that ACME agent is not specifically known to the program that
calls the SYS$ACM[W] system service, there is no way to interpret that field. The
previous example presumes there is special knowledge regarding
at least one ACME agent held in
routine REPORT_ACME_SPECIFIC_ERROR, which is not supplied.
33.5.3 Password Change Dialogue
Particularly with the function code ACME$_FC_CHANGE_PASSWORD, you cannot reliably predict all the necessary input at the time of the initial call, because the first password chosen might be found in the password history file or be unacceptable in some other way.
Following is a sample of how you might decode and process a dialogue response:
BIND ACMECB = .CONTEXT : BLOCK[,BYTE], ITEM_SET = .ACMECB[ACMECB$PS_ITEM_SET] : BLOCKVECTOR[,ACMEIS$K_LENGTH,BYTE], RESPONSE_ITEM_COUNTER : INITIAL [0], ! ! A real program should calculate the size for the following ! by basing it on .ACMECB[ACMECB$L_ITEM_SET_COUNT]. ! RESPONSE_ITEM_LIST : ALIAS_ON_AXP $ITMLST_DECL (ITEMS=9999); ! ! Store a terminator in case there are no input items. ! RESPONSE_ITEM_LIST [0,ITM$L_TERMINATOR] = 0; ! ! Iterate over Itemset Array ! INCRU ITEM_SET_INDEX FROM 1 TO .ACMECB[ACMECB$L_ITEM_SET_COUNT] DO BEGIN BIND ITEM_SET_ENTRY = ITEM_SET [.ITEM_SET_INDEX,0,0,0,0], ITEM_FLAGS = ITEM_SET_ENTRY [ACMEIS$L_FLAGS] : BLOCK[4,BYTE], ITEM_CODE = ITEM_SET_ENTRY [ACMEIS$W_ITEM_CODE] : BLOCK[2,BYTE]; IF NOT .ITEM_CODE[ACMEIC$V_UCS] THEN SIGNAL_STOP ( THIS_PROGRAM_HANDLES_ONLY_TEXT ); IF NOT .ITEM_CODE[ACMEIC$V_OUTPUT] THEN BEGIN ! Respond to an input item ! ! Call subroutines to read input and put it in the item list. ! IF .ITEM_FLAGS[ACMEDLOGFLG$V_NOECHO] THEN ! ! Read the input - Last parameter (if any) indicates the prompt ! to be used on a confirmation read. That confirmation must ! match the initial response before returning here. ! CONSTRUCT_ITEM_NOECHO_FROM_TERMINAL ( RESPONSE_ITEM_LIST [.RESPONSE_ITEM_COUNTER,0,0,0,0], .ITEM_SET_ENTRY [acmeis$w_max_length], ITEM_SET_ENTRY [acmeis$q_data_1], ITEM_SET_ENTRY [acmeis$q_data_2] ) ELSE ! ! Just read the input - Last parameter indicates a default ! that will be taken by SYS$ACM if a blank line is supplied. ! CONSTRUCT_ITEM_FROM_TERMINAL ( RESPONSE_ITEM_LIST [.RESPONSE_ITEM_COUNTER,0,0,0,0], .ITEM_SET_ENTRY [acmeis$w_max_length], ITEM_SET_ENTRY [acmeis$q_data_1], ITEM_SET_ENTRY [acmeis$q_data_2] ); ! ! Advance past this item. ! RESPONSE_ITEM_COUNTER = .RESPONSE_ITEM_COUNTER + 1; ! ! Store a terminator in case this was the last input item. ! RESPONSE_ITEM_LIST [.RESPONSE_ITEM_COUNTER,ITM$L_TERMINATOR] = 0; BEGIN END; ! ! Now call the System Service again, with the same FUNC argument. ! ! If all the item set entries were for output, we send a null item list. ! STATUS = $ACMW (EFN=EFN$C_ENF, FUNC=ACME$_FC_CHANGE_PASSWORD, CONTXT=CONTEXT, ITMLST=RESPONSE_ITEM_LIST, ACMSB=ACMESB ); |
This example leaves the details of handling an optional confirmation prompt to the routine CONSTRUCT_ITEM_NOECHO_FROM_TERMINAL, which is not supplied. In addition, the code to process and display output items is not shown.
Confirmation prompts are more common in Change Password than in
Authenticate Principal, but the program that calls SYS$ACM[W] system service
should be prepared to handle them in either situation (that is, any
time dialogue mode is used).
33.5.4 Reauthentication of Current User
The following code illustrates what you might do within an application to ensure that the same user was still at the terminal. An example of reauthentication would be a check-writing application that requires reauthentication for any check over a certain value.
LOCAL STATUS, ACME_STATUS_BLOCK : VECTOR [4,LONG], NON_DIALOGUE_ITMLST : ALIAS_ON_AXP $ITMLST_DECL (ITEMS=1); ! ! Populate that item list ! $ITMLST_INIT(ITMLST = NON_DIALOGUE_ITMLST, ! ! What Password was given to this routine ? ! (ITMCOD = ACME$_PASSWORD_1, BUFSIZ = .INPUT_STRING [DSC$W_LENGTH], BUFADR = .INPUT_STRING [DSC$A_POINTER] ) ); ! ! Now call the System Service ! STATUS = $ACMW (EFN=EFN$C_ENF, FUNC=ACME$_FC_AUTHENTICATE_PRINCIPAL +ACME$M_DEFAULT_PRINCIPAL, ITMLST=NON_DIALOGUE_ITMLST, ACMSB=ACME_STATUS_BLOCK ); |
The following example is a slight variant on the example in Section 33.5.1:
LOCAL STATUS, OLD_PERSONA, NEW_PERSONA, ACME_STATUS_BLOCK : VECTOR [4,LONG], NON_DIALOGUE_ITMLST : ALIAS_ON_AXP $ITMLST_DECL (ITEMS=3); ! ! Populate that item list ! $ITMLST_INIT(ITMLST = NON_DIALOGUE_ITMLST, ! ! What is the Principal Name ! (ITMCOD = ACME$_PRINCIPAL_NAME_IN, BUFSIZ = %CHARCOUNT('JENKINS'), BUFADR = UPLIT BYTE('JENKINS')), ! ! What Password was given to this routine ? ! (ITMCOD = ACME$_PASSWORD_1, BUFSIZ = .INPUT_STRING [DSC$W_LENGTH], BUFADR = .INPUT_STRING [DSC$A_POINTER] ) ), ! ! Where do we want the new Persona ID ? ! (ITMCOD = ACME$_PERSONA_HANDLE_OUT, BUFADR = NEW_PERSONA ) ); ! ! Now call the System Service ! STATUS = $ACMW (EFN=EFN$C_ENF, FUNC=ACME$_FC_AUTHENTICATE_PRINCIPAL +ACME$M_ACQUIRE_CREDENTIALS, ITMLST=NON_DIALOGUE_ITMLST, ACMSB=ACME_STATUS_BLOCK ); CHECK_STATUS ( .STATUS ); CHECK_ACME_STATUS ( ACME_STATUS_BLOCK ); ! ! Now assume the new Persona ! STATUS = $PERSONA_ASSUME (PERSONA=NEW_PERSONA, FLAGS=0, previous=OLD_PERSONA); ! |
This example does not use item code ACME$_PERSONA_HANDLE_IN.
That is for manipulating the characteristics of an existing
persona, which is not the objective of this example.
33.5.6 Using CREPRC on Behalf of a User
After authentication, you can use the SYS$ACM[W] system service to create a process on behalf of the user, with process quotas set according the values in SYSUAF, as in the following example:
LOCAL STATUS, OLD_PERSONA, NEW_PERSONA, PIDADR, CREPRC_QUOTA : VECTOR [255,BYTE], ! hopefully long enough ACME_STATUS_BLOCK : VECTOR [4,LONG], NON_DIALOGUE_ITMLST : ALIAS_ON_AXP $ITMLST_DECL (ITEMS=4); ! ! Populate that item list ! $ITMLST_INIT(ITMLST = NON_DIALOGUE_ITMLST, ! ! What is the Principal Name ! (ITMCOD = ACME$_PRINCIPAL_NAME_IN, BUFSIZ = %CHARCOUNT('JENKINS'), BUFADR = UPLIT BYTE('JENKINS')), ! ! What Password was given to this routine ? ! (ITMCOD = ACME$_PASSWORD_1, BUFSIZ = .INPUT_STRING [DSC$W_LENGTH], BUFADR = .INPUT_STRING [DSC$A_POINTER] ) ), ! ! Where do we want the new persona ID? ! (ITMCOD = ACME$_PERSONA_HANDLE_OUT, BUFADR = NEW_PERSONA), ! ! Where do we want quota requirements stored ? ! (ITMCOD = ACMEVMS$_CREPRC_QUOTA, BUFSIZ = %ALLOCATION(CREPRC_QUOTA), BUFADR = CREPRC_QUOTA ) ); ! ! Now call the System Service ! STATUS = $ACMW (EFN=EFN$C_ENF, FUNC=ACME$_FC_AUTHENTICATE_PRINCIPAL, ITMLST=NON_DIALOGUE_ITMLST, ACMSB=ACME_STATUS_BLOCK ); CHECK_STATUS ( .STATUS ); CHECK_ACME_STATUS ( ACME_STATUS_BLOCK ); ! ! That routine just detected any buffer too short error ! ! Temporarily assume the new Persona ! STATUS = $PERSONA_ASSUME (PERSONA=NEW_PERSONA, FLAGS=0, previous=OLD_PERSONA); CHECK_STATUS ( .STATUS ); ! ! Now create the process under that persona ! STATUS = $CREPRC (PIDADR=PIDADR, IMAGE=$DESCRIPTOR('SYS$SYSTEM:LOGINOUT'), INPUT=$DESCRIPTOR('TXA3:'), OUTPUT=$DESCRIPTOR('TXA3:'), ERROR=$DESCRIPTOR('TXA3:'), QUOTA=CREPRC_QUOTA, STSFLG=PRC$M_NOUAF+PRC$M_INHERIT_PERSONA); CHECK_STATUS ( .STATUS ); ! ! Revert to our old Persona ! STATUS = $PERSONA_ASSUME (PERSONA=OLD_PERSONA); CHECK_STATUS ( .STATUS ); ! ! Delete the new persona from this process ! STATUS = $PERSONA_DELETE (PERSONA=NEW_PERSONA ); CHECK_STATUS ( .STATUS ); ! |
The PRC$M_NOUAF flag prevents LOGINOUT from modifying process quotas,
while the PRC$M_INHERIT_PERSONA prevents LOGINOUT from modifying the
process persona,
allowing use of the persona (and persona extension) of the parent
process. The main purpose of LOGINOUT in this case becomes setting up
the DCL environment.
33.6 Authentication Examples
This section provides two complete examples of using the SYS$ACM[W] system service. In addition to these examples, a utility program called ACMEUTIL is available for issuing authentication and change-password SYS$ACM system service calls and examining the results in both dialogue and nondialogue mode.
You interact with the ACMEUTIL utility using the DCL interface. For example, to issue a dialogue request for authentication, use the following syntax:
$acme auth/dial=(input,noecho) |
See the comments in ACMEUTIL_SETUP.COM for additional information on ACMEUTIL DCL syntax and capabilities.
ACMEUTIL is located in the SYS$EXAMPLES directory and is built by
running the ACMEUTIL.COM procedure. To define the DCL verb ACMEUTIL,
run the ACMEUTIL_SETUP.COM procedure.
33.6.1 Example Using Nondialogue Mode (C)
This theoretical example supports a hardware badge reader and provides all necessary authentication information with a single call to the SYS$ACM[W] system service. The simple linear programming style used here would also be appropriate for a situation in which that authentication information is received from a network connection using a fixed protocol that does not allow queries back to the originator.
