Interprocess Communication Messages
Table 15-7 shows the structure of the message reply data sent from the event-exit
process to the Safeguard subsystem for a logon event. This reply overlays the
message data sent by the Safeguard subsystem for a logon event.
Table 15-6. Password_Change_Data (Change Message_Data from PASSWORD
Program)
Target_User VAR-
STRING
The user name or alias, in external format, of the user
whose password is being changed. This can be a user
name or an alias.
Target_UserID INT(32) The user ID associated with Target_User.
IsAlias BOOLEAN True indicates that Target_User is a user alias.
Password STRING The clear text password to be evaluated for password
quality. This password comes from the SAFECOM or SPI
ADD USER, ALTER USER, ADD ALIAS, or ALTER ALIAS
command, or from a password change initiated by the
PASSWORD program. Because of certain constraints in
the Safeguard software, this is a 64-character field.
FEA 50 bytes A future expansion area; currently filled with zeros.
Table 15-7. Logon_Response_Data (Interactive/Programmatic
Logon) (page1of2)
Challenge_Phrase VAR-
STRING
Phrase to be returned to the caller for display on the
user’s terminal.
Logon_Blind_Read BOOLEAN True if the response to Challenge_Phrase is to be
passed in the blind (character echo disabled).
Delay_Value* INT If nonzero, indicates the number of Delay_Units to
delay the user before accepting another logon
attempt. Delay_Value should be a nonzero positive
integer. If it is negative, a delay is not enforced.
Delay_Value should be initialized appropriately. Failing
to do so can lead to undesired delay.
Delay_Units* ENUM The unit of execution for Delay_Value. Valid units are
SECONDS, MINUTES, HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS, and
MONTHS.
Password_Returned BOOLEAN True if the Password field contains a generated
password to be filed in the Safeguard database.
