Re: Processing Ideas Needed:

Hi Chuck,

However,
this user must be to se;ect this option that will internally submit this
command
with /user=****** (the user that has all the priv's and proc quotas
where the job must run).

Can you please tell me whether or not the username that you wish to run the
batch job under is the same as the "only (1) particular user id accessing
the web page." and that you're doing all this in an attempt to get around
the inherent bull*** architectural deficiencies of that HTTP/webserver
connectionless/stateless pile of pooh?

Would you be interesetd in a VMS server process being able to *without any
privileges* assume the client's persona (and whatever rights and privileges
given to that persona by the system manager) whilst performing work on that
pre-authorized client's behalf. Would you be interested in avoiding Session
Hijacking and dodgy cookies, session IDs and trying to embed
connection-state information in web-pages?

Cheers Richard Maher

PS. If you go the Installed image route then you may want to ask how you
restrict Execute access to it to you "only 1" specific user.

I have a complex dcl command file that must be submitted under a
particular
user id's priv's and process quotas...no exceptions.

On a web page, a selection can be added to a page to submit this command
file on demand from only (1) particular user id accessing the web page.
However,
this user must be to se;ect this option that will internally submit this
command
with /user=****** (the user that has all the priv's and proc quotas
where the job must run).
The problem is, I don't want to give the user CMKRNL to be able to
select the option
which will submit the command with another /user= ****** unless that
will not create any
security issues.

If I do not go the route of the CMKRNL priv's, what ideas might you have
in mind that
once the user selects the option it will notify the privileged user to
run the command file
manually. I'd like to automate this and make it the simplest way possible.

Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance.
