A customer wants to control access to ALL-IN-1 on one node in a cluster
using a Personal License. That is, all users could access ALL-IN-1 on
some nodes with a capacity license installed, but on another node
personal licenses would be installed allowing access to a select number
of users.
Using LMF 1.1, a reserve list can be placed on a personal license,
listing the users that are able to access the product.
However, trying it with ALL-IN-1 V3.0, it seems that ALL-IN-1 is not
checking the reserve list, but allowing any registered user to access
the product.
Is this correct, or am I doing something wrong? Perhaps because it is
an internal PAK?
Is there any way to do what the customer wants?
regards
Malcolm

| 395.1 | Reserve lists are supported in V3.0 (but not V2.4) | IOSG::TALLETT | Just one more fix, then we can ship... | Thu Apr 02 1992 09:18 | 23 |
Hi there!
What you are doing should work. ALL-IN-1 V3.0 does check the
reserve list (actually its LMF looking at the reserve list, and
V3.0 recognises the LMF return code, V2.4 did not, but that's just
detail).
It sounds to me like your second node is finding the capacity
license from the first node. The code always looks for a capacity
license first, then tries for a personal license only if it doesn't
find one.
Oh yes, make sure you do the license checks NOT FROM THE MANAGER
account. MANAGER (and friends) is exempt from reserve lists and
is always considered to be in the list.
Nice to hear of someone actually trying to USE reserve lists like
they were intended! By the way, I heard of a unannounced product
to manage reserve lists for you. I think it was mentioned in
VAXWRK::VMSNOTES.
Regards,
Paul

Thanks for the response. At least I know that it should work.
I am currently testing it on a single node on which I have disabled the
capacity licence. The reserve list contains only 2 usernames, but
other normal unprivileged users can still run ALL-IN-1.
Version is 3.0 123A.
Any ideas?

Did you LICENSE UNLOAD the capacity license? What does
$ SHOW LICENSE A*/FULL give you? (This lists currently loaded
licenses). Is this a new installation or one that has "settled
down"? I am thinking of problems like not being able to find
the SM message file etc...
Regards,
Paul

| 395.4 | ok | BIGUN::BRUCE | Fri Apr 03 1992 01:57 | 7 | |
Its all working now. Many thanks.
I suspect it was because I forgot to reload the license after modifying
it. (cringe, blush).
