Authentication Modes

This section explains the three authentication modes that jAgent supports.

• Anonymous authentication does not verify any user credentials.
• User authentication verifies user credentials against a local user credentials database.
• Account authentication attempts to use the provided user credentials to log into a specific jBASE account.

Setting up User Authentication

To setup user authentication,

1. Create the jAgent user file.

   $  CREATE-FILE JAGENT_USER 1 53
   [ 417 ] File JAGENT_USER]D created , type = J4
   [ 417 ] File JAGENT_USER created , type = J4
   

2. Create the user and set the password.

   $  jbase_agent adduser test
   $  jbase_agent passwd test newpassword
   

3. Start jbase_agent to authentication with user authentication.

   $ jbase_agent –A user

Setting up Account Authentication

You should configure the environment by setting the JEDIFILENAME_SYSTEM to a valid jBASE SYSTEM file that contains the jBASE accounts you wish to connect to.

You can start jbase_agent to authentication with account authentication as shown below.

$ jbase_agent –A account
