NETWORK SUPPORT FOR AK-Mail 3
-----------------------------
AK-Mail 2.1 has improved network support. You can create an .ini file that
controls AK-Mail. The file name is 'akmail.ini'. This file has to be in
the same directory as the akmail.exe file.
You can specify 3 commands in the akmail.ini file:
1) PATH: any_path
This command moves the data path of AK-Mail to any location. So you
can separate the program code and the data. If PATH is not specified
data will be placed in the directory where akmail.exe is located.
Data is the 'FLDRS', 'ATTACH' and 'PGP' directory and the configuration
files of AK-Mail.
2) USENETNAME:
This command adds the current username of the user to the data path.
So you can have ONE copy of the AK-Mail program and every user who uses
AK-Mail gets a different data directory.
3) GLOBALKEY:
This command forces AK-Mail to search for the key in the directory where
akmail.exe is located. So users do not have to install a key manually.
Very useful for domain keys. Without this option, AK-Mail looks for
the key in the data directory.
A sample:
--- Start of File: akmail.ini ---
PATH: g:\akmdata
USENETNAME:
GLOBALKEY:
----End of File: akmail.ini -----
What does that mean ?
There is a separate data directory g:\akmdata. Because of the USENETNAME:
option user names are appended to the path. So if you are logged on as
Administrator your data path will be g:\akmdata\Administrator. If you
are logged on as testuser your data path will be g:\akmdata\testuser.
AK-Mail looks for the key in the AK-Mail program directory.
When using Windows NT as file server, you can use the aksa.exe utility and the
ACL control file to set special permissions on the akmdata directory to
protect the mail of one user against any access from other (non-admin) users.
See the specperm.acl file for details.
