LGI$ICR_INIT

The LGI$ICR_INIT callout routine may perform any required initialization functions.

Format

LGI$ICR_INIT arg_vector ,context


RETURNS


OpenVMS usage: cond_value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by value

Returns status indicating whether and how to proceed with the login.


Arguments

arg_vector


OpenVMS usage: vector
type: vector_longword_unsigned
access: modify
mechanism: by reference

Vector containing callbacks and login information.

context


OpenVMS usage: context
type: longword (unsigned)
access: modify
mechanism: by reference

Pointer to site's local context.

Description

This routine is called for all job types before opening input and output files. If desired, the callout routine may initialize the context argument, which LOGINOUT subsequently passes to each callout routine with the address of local storage specific to the callout image.

Typical Condition Values

SS$_NORMAL Access permitted; continue policy checks.
LGI$_SKIPRELATED Access permitted; omit calls to the LGI$ICR_INIT callout routine in subsequent images.
Other Disallow the login.

Associated OpenVMS Policy Function

None.  

LGI$ICR_JOBSTEP

The LGI$ICR_JOBSTEP callout routine signals the start of each batch job step.

Format

LGI$ICR_JOBSTEP input_file_name ,context ,write_fao


RETURNS


OpenVMS usage: cond_value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by value

Not applicable.


Arguments

input_file_name


OpenVMS usage: descriptor
type: character string
access: read
mechanism: by reference

The name of the input file.

context


OpenVMS usage: context
type: longword (unsigned)
access: modify
mechanism: by reference

Pointer to site's local context.

write_fao (fao_string[,arg1[,arg2][,...]]])


OpenVMS usage: routine
type: procedure
access: read
mechanism: by reference

Address of a routine that may be called to format and display output. The routine has fao_string as its first argument, followed by a variable number of arguments. (See the $FAO system directive in the OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual for more information.)

Description

The LGI$ICR_JOBSTEP routine alerts the site of each job step in a batch job. The routine is invoked as LOGINOUT processes each job step. For the first job step, the LGI$ICR_JOBSTEP callout routine is invoked immediately following the LGI$ICR_IDENTIFY callout routine. For all other job steps, it is the only callout routine that is invoked.

The routine is provided with the input file name, but the input file is not open when the routine is called. For the first job step, the LGI$ICR_INIT callout routine may provide the batch job step routine with context. For other job steps, the context argument is a null.

For all job steps except the first, the output file is open, and the routine specified by the write_fao argument is available.

There is no OpenVMS policy associated with LGI$ICR_JOBSTEP.


Typical Condition Values

LGI$_SKIPRELATED or any error value Access permitted; omit calls to the LGI$ICR_JOBSTEP callout routine in subsequent images.

Associated OpenVMS Policy Function

None.  

LGI$ICR_LOGOUT

The LGI$ICR_LOGOUT callout routine permits the site callout images to respond to the DCL command LOGOUT.

Note

This routine is not called if the calling process is deleted with STOP/PROCESS ($DELPRC). If the calling terminal is disconnected when logout occurs, this routine must not produce output.

Format

LGI$ICR_LOGOUT username ,processname ,creprc_flags ,write_fao


RETURNS


OpenVMS usage: cond_value

Process creation status flags.

write_fao (fao_string[,arg1[,arg2][,...]]])


OpenVMS usage: routine
type: procedure
access: read
mechanism: by reference

Procedure for writing data. The value is 0 if output is not permitted.

Address of a routine that may be called to format and display output. The routine has fao_string as its first argument, followed by a variable number of arguments. (See the $FAO system directive in the OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual for more information.)


Description

The LGI$ICR_LOGOUT routine is invoked after auditing is completed and immediately before LOGOUT prints the logout message. This routine cannot prevent the logout from finishing, but it may prevent display of the standard logout message.

Typical Condition Values

LGI$_SKIPRELATED or any error value Access permitted; omit calls to the LGI$ICR_LOGOUT callout routine in subsequent images.

Associated OpenVMS Policy Function

None.  

14.5 LOGINOUT Callback Routines

LOGINOUT callout routines use callback routines to interact with the user or to access other LOGINOUT services. This section describes the individual callback routines. The description of each routine includes the following:
  • The format of the call command
  • The anticipated information returned by the called routine
  • The arguments presented to the called routine
  • A general description of the routine
  • Condition values that indicate the return status of the routine, success or failure


LGI$ICB_ACCTEXPIRED

The LGI$ICB_ACCTEXPIRED callback routine checks for account expiration.

Format

LGI$ICB_ACCTEXPIRED


RETURNS

No value. Does not return on failure.


Arguments

None.

Description

The site can use this callback routine to determine if the specified account is expired. If the account is expired, the LGI$ICB_ACCTEXPIRED callback routine:
  • Writes its standard error message to the user terminal, if a terminal exists
  • Does not return control to the caller

Condition Values Returned

None.  

LGI$ICB_AUTOLOGIN

The site may use the LGI$ICB_AUTOLOGIN callback routine to determine whether the standard OpenVMS autologin functionality applies for this terminal.

Format

LGI$ICB_AUTOLOGIN


RETURNS


OpenVMS usage: value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by value

True (logical 1) if autologin enabled; 0 otherwise.


Arguments

None.

Description

If the standard OpenVMS autologin functionality applies, the callback routine returns the user name to the site program using the standard argument vector so that the autologin process may continue.

The autologin determination is made before the site prompts for the user passwords. The callback routine is applicable only for interactive character-cell logins.

Note

Standard OpenVMS policy uses autologin only on directly connected or LAT connected character-cell terminals. The LGI$ICB_AUTOLOGIN callback routine checks the automatic login file (ALF) SYS$SYSTEM:SYSALF.DAT to make the determination.

A DECwindows callout can include a method for doing a DECwindows autologin. In that case, the callout routine should set the autologin flag to true before returning control to LOGINOUT.


Condition Values Returned

None.  

LGI$ICB_CHECK_PASS

The LGI$ICB_CHECK_PASS callback routine checks a password against the user authorization file (UAF) record.

Format

LGI$ICB_CHECK_PASS password ,uaf_record ,pwd_number


RETURNS


OpenVMS usage: value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by value

The value 1 for a valid password. The value --4 for an invalid password.


Arguments

password


OpenVMS usage: character string
type: string descriptor
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

User-supplied password to be validated.

uaf_record


OpenVMS usage: buffer
type: vector_byte (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

Address of buffer containing UAF record.

pwd_number


OpenVMS usage: value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by value

Password number, 0 (primary) or 1 (secondary).

Description

The site uses this callback routine to check the user-supplied password against the UAF record provided as the second argument. If the password is valid, the routine returns a 1 in R0; if the password is invalid, the routine returns a --4 in R0.

Condition Values Returned

None.  

LGI$ICB_DISUSER

The LGI$ICB_DISUSER callback routine checks the disabled user account flag.

Format

LGI$ICB_DISUSER action


RETURNS


OpenVMS usage: cond_value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by value

Condition value in R0.


Argument

action


OpenVMS usage: value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by value

This argument can take two values:
If Value of Action Is... Then...
LGI$_DISUSER_STOP Do not return on error.
LGI$_DISUSER_RETURN Return LGI$_DISUSER or SS$_NORMAL.

Description

The site can use this callback routine to establish the standard OpenVMS action if the DISUSER flag is set.

Condition Values Returned

LGI$_DISUSER  
SS$_NORMAL  

LGI$ICB_GET_INPUT

The LGI$ICB_GET_INPUT callback routine enables interaction with the user.

Format

LGI$ICB_GET_INPUT rab ,flags


RETURNS

No value. Does not return on failure.


Arguments

rab


OpenVMS usage: rab
type: longword (unsigned)
access: modify
mechanism: by reference

Data structure used to set up a read-with-prompt OpenVMS RMS operation. Normally you pass the RAB address in LGI$A_ICR_INPUT_RAB.

flags


OpenVMS usage: mask_longword
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

A data structure that determines the error response as follows:
Flags Value Response
0 Normal error message.
1 LOGINOUT exits quietly.
2 Normal error message; however, the callback routine returns control to the caller rather than exiting on timeout (timeout status is in RAB).

Description

The LGI$ICB_GET_INPUT callback routine invokes the LOGINOUT input routine to enable interaction with character-cell terminal users. The read operation provides a timeout to ensure that the UAF record does not remain locked if the user presses Ctrl/S.

Condition Values Returned

1
No return value. Examine status in RAB to determine the results of the read operation.

LGI$ICB_GET_SYSPWD

The LGI$ICB_GET_SYSPWD callback routine validates the system password.

Format

LGI$ICB_GET_SYSPWD


RETURNS

No value. Does not return on failure.


Arguments

None.

Description

This callback routine performs standard system password-checking for interactive logins on character-cell terminals only.

If the system password is validated, this callback routine returns control to the caller. If the system password is not validated, the LOGINOUT image exits, and the login is terminated.


Condition Values Returned

None.  

LGI$ICB_MODALHOURS

The LGI$ICB_MODALHOURS callback routine checks for restrictions on access modes and access hours.

Format

LGI$ICB_MODALHOURS


RETURNS

No value. Does not return on failure.


Arguments

None.

Description

The site uses this callback routine to establish the access modes and access hours available to the user. If the user is not authorized to access the system from this login class (batch, dialup, local, remote, network) at this time (as specified in the UAF), the callback routine:
  • Writes its standard error message to the user terminal, if there is a terminal
  • Does not return control to the caller

Condition Values Returned

None.  

LGI$ICB_PASSWORD

The LGI$ICB_PASSWORD callback routine produces the specified password prompt and then processes the input.

Format

LGI$ICB_PASSWORD password_number ,prompt ,buffer


RETURNS


OpenVMS usage: cond_value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by value

Condition value in R0.


Arguments

password_number


OpenVMS usage: value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by value

A numeric value indicating which password to prompt for and what action to take on it:
Value Prompt for
0 Primary password and validate it
1 Secondary password and validate it
--1 Primary password but do not validate it
--2 Secondary password but do not validate it
--3 Arbitrary 32-character value returned to buffer specified in buffer
If the value is --3, you must specify the prompt argument and the buffer argument.

prompt


OpenVMS usage: character string
type: string descriptor
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

String that must begin with "cr,lf". If this argument is not supplied, the standard prompt is used.

buffer


OpenVMS usage: character string
type: string descriptor
access: modify
mechanism: by reference

Buffer having at least 32 bytes available to store password when password_number argument value is --3.

Description

The site can use this callback routine to interactively prompt for passwords. The routine uses either the standard OpenVMS password prompt or a prompt provided by the caller in the second argument.

The password is returned in one of the following locations, depending on the value of the password_number argument:

Value of Password_Number Argument Location
0 or --1 LGI$A_ICR_PWD1
1 or --2 LGI$A_ICR_PWD2
--3 buffer argument

Note

This routine will do overstriking, if necessary, to support echo local terminals. See the OpenVMS Programming Concepts Manual for more information about echo terminals.

Condition Values Returned

SS$_NORMAL Success.
LGI$_INVPWD Password check failed.
LGI$_NOSUCHUSER No UAF record found.
