- Installation:
- For experienced sysops, TUAM is a easy door to install, with no
- maintenance files or configuration files necessary!
-
- You will have to set up a TPA by using PCBSM.EXE.
- Note that on a multi-node system ALL nodes must be down for this
- operation.
-
- PCBSM will generate a backup users file in this operation, however
- you may wish to have another backup offline just in case.
-
- 1) Enter PCBSM, choose menu option "Add/Remove Third Party Application"
- to generate a new TPA.
-
- For TPA information use
- TPA Name : TUAM
- Version : 101
- Static Size : 44
- Dynamic Size : 0
- Keyword : BYTES
- the keyword must match the name of
- the door in your DOOR.LST file
-
- For verify that the data structure corresponds to the current version
- of TUAM, we have chosen a version number of 101, we will only update
- this when we require a TPA structure change. This will be the TPA
- structure version and NOT the TUAM version number.
-
- Press PGDN to generate your TPA.
-
- NOTE: TUAM is a TPA door, but DOES NOT use a USER.SYS file
-
- Please ensure that NO USER.SYS file exists when TUAM is run.
-
- 2) You will now need to make some changes using PCBSetup.
-
- The first will be creating a door, this may be necessary in more
- than one conference, although each conference may point to the same
- door.
- Depending upon your setup, only the Main Door changes may be necessary,
- only you as a SysOp can determine that.
-
- It WILL however be necessary from every Conference that you wish the
- user to have access to it. It is highly recommended that it is at the
- very minimum available from the Main Conference, as well as ALL other
- Conferences that have auto rejoin upon login set to YES.
-
- Batch File
-
- Example of batch file :
-
- @ECHO OFF
- CD \DOORS\TUAM
- BYTES
-
- ** Note : Do not reload PCBoad, as this is a shell door.
-
-
-
- Door Installation
-
- Using PCBSetup choose the DOOR.LST file to edit.
-
- USER DOOR
- Filename Password Sec Login SYS SYS Shell Path to DOOR Files
-
- 65) BYTES 0 Y N N Y C:\DOORS\TUAM\
-
- Press F2 to edit the DOOR file
-
- ESC=Exit Alt-R=Repeat a Line Alt-I=Insert a Line Alt-D=Delete a Line
- 09:18:26 11-14-92 F1 help caps: OFF num: ON ins: OFF
-
-
-
- In the above example, we show pathing to the batch file, this would
- be placed in the C:\DOORS\TUAM directory. (or other directory as you
- have chosen)
-
- By doing this you save multiple doors for each node.
-
- NOTE: If you have other auto-login doors, you will need to modify
- them, or adjust BYTES to accomidate your plans for login.
- We have adapted our autologin door to accomidate branching for
- different users as necessary.
- If you need help in this area, please let us know on the support
- board, or in one of the mail networks we carry.
-
-
- Batch File:
- @ECHO OFF
- C:
- CD \DOORS\TUAM
- TUAM
-
- ( If you are running multiple configurations
- include the configuration name after TUAM.
- ie: TUAM NODE1 )
-
- ** (note, as we shell to the door DO NOT add BOARD
- to the end of the batch file)
-
- PCBSetup Configuration :
- It is highly recommended that you disable the "Display User Info
- at Login" with PCBSetup in Options #1 screen.
- This will make a much more pleasing display for your users.
- You have full contorl of this flag per security level within TUAM.
-
- o Please ensure that your environment variable PCBDAT is set.
- If not please put in your autoexec.bat
- SET PCBDAT=(drive\path\pcboard.dat)
-
- ie: SET PCBDAT=C:\PCB\PCBOARD.DAT
-
-
-
- This will give you a very simple and basic operation of the system, to
- get into the complexities of the Security file, and user information, please
- refer to the main documentation.
-
- You MUST read TUAMSM to understand all of the configurations possible in the
- System Manager.
-
- If you use Command Levels OR Time then YOU MUST use TUAMLOFF. Please read
- about TUAMLOFF in the TUAMLOFF.DOC file enclosed.
-
- Theory of Operation:
-
- Ok how do we do this magic? Well, PCBoard reads all of its
- information regarding time and bytes from the PWRD file. This file
- MUST be modified to enable node specific information to be updated
- on a per user basis.
- Don't worry, TUAM will handle this automatically for you, HOWEVER,
- TUAM will rewrite a temporary PWRD file to the local node directory
- each time the door is run.
- This temporary file is the one that PCBoard will actually read.
- If you are using TUAM, it is recommended that to avoid confusion in
- updating your information that ALL future PWRD information be
- updated using TUAMSM rather than PCBSM.
- This will save you much confusion, and duplication of updates.
- We will update everything automatically, PCBSM will not.
-
- TUAM will also modify your PCBoard.Dat file to point to the new
- PWRD file location. This is all automatic, and is completed as the
- door runs.
-
- If you are using Command Editors then the Command Level information
- in PCBoard.Dat will also be updated as required.
-
- For those running multi-nodes with seperate information, don't worry
- a version of TUAM is on its way that will work for you as well!
-
-
-
- Please let us know any ideas you have to improve the documentation of the
- program itself.
