SWAP
The SWAP parameter determines the location of the SEEP’s swap space. The value
must be a valid volume name.
If no volume name is entered, the same volume that contains the PROG object file will
be used. On S-Series systems, the swap space is actually controlled by the NSKCOM
program.
PRI
The PRI parameter determines the priority at which the SEEP will be run at.
If no PRI is entered, Safeguard starts the SEEP at the default priority.
The default value is 199.
PARAM-TEXT
The PARAM-TEXT determines the data (if any) to be supplied as the startup message
for the SEEP.
The PARAM-TEXT must be the final attribute in the command string.
If no PARAM-TEXT is entered, no startup text is used.
18.2 Stopping and Starting the XUA SEEP
The XUA_STOP macro causes Safeguard to stop using the XUA server as the
Authentication SEEP when a logon requests occurs. The XUA server is not removed
(uninstalled) from Safeguard but merely disabled. Use the XUA_START macro to
cause Safeguard to resume using the XUA server again.
Note: These macros must be executed from a userid that is a member of the
SECURITY-ADMINISTRATOR group or if SECURITY-ADMINISTRATOR is not
being used in Safeguard, a member of the SUPER group.
Example 1: How to stop (DISABLE) the Authentication SEEP
$SYSTEM XYGATEUA 2> XUA_STOP
XYGATEUA disabled
The XUA_START macro shown below causes Safeguard to begin using the XUA
server as the Safeguard Authentication SEEP. Use this macro after the SEEP has
been disabled using either the XUA_STOP or XUA_SAFECOM_DISABLE macros.
Example 2: How to start (ENABLE) the Authentication SEEP
$SYSTEM XYGATEUA 3> XUA_START
XYGATEUA enabled
