PMDF-LAN channel option files have an ACCESS_METHOD option that specifies the access method PMDF-LAN will use to read and write message files. On OpenVMS, a value of 1 selects direct NetWare file server access using the MultiWare client API library. When ACCESS_METHOD=1 is specified, the FILE_SERVER, USERNAME, and PASSWORD options must also be specified. ACCESS_METHOD=1 is not supported on UNIX.
Note that when ACCESS_METHOD=1 is set, you will likely want to protect your channel option file against general access as it will necessarily contain a username and password for one of your NetWare file servers.
FILE_SERVER (string)
Specifies the name of the NetWare file server to use when ACCESS_METHOD=1 is specified.PASSWORD (string)
Specifies the password that goes with the NetWare username specified with the USERNAME option. This option is used only when ACCESS_METHOD=1 is specified.USERNAME (string)
Specifies the NetWare username to use when the PMDF process logs into a file server. This option is used only when ACCESS_METHOD=1 is specified.
For instance, an example of a cc:Mail channel option file when when PMDF directly accesses messages stored on a NetWare file server by using MultiNet's MultiWare client API library is shown in Example 6-1 ; an example for an Microsoft Mail channel option file is shown in Example 6-2 ; an example for an MHS channel option file is shown in Example 6-3 ; an example for a GroupWise (WordPerfect Office) channel option file is shown in Example 6-4 .
Remember that MS-DOS directory and file specifications are restricted to an eight character name part and three character extension part.
Example 6-1 A sample cc:Mail channel option file
ACCESS_METHOD=1 FILE_SERVER=DOGHUT USERNAME=MROCHEK PASSWORD=WOOF ! CC_GATEWAY_NAME=PMDF CC_OUTPUT_FILE_NAME=SYS:/MROCHEK/CCMAIL.IMP CC_INPUT_FILE_NAME=SYS:/MROCHEK/CCMAIL.EXP CC_UNDEL_FILE_NAME=SYS:/MROCHEK/CCMAIL.UND
Example 6-2 A sample Microsoft Mail channel option file
ACCESS_METHOD=1 FILE_SERVER=DOGHUT USERNAME=MROCHEK PASSWORD=WOOF ! FF_DEFAULT_NETWORK=ACME FF_DEFAULT_POSTOFFICE=HQ ! FF_OUTPUT_FILE_NAME=SYS:/MSMAIL/ACME/PMDF2MS.MSG FF_INPUT_FILE_NAME=SYS:/MSMAIL/ACME/MS2PMDF.MSG
Example 6-3 Sample MHS channel option file
ACCESS_METHOD=1 FILE_SERVER=DOGHUT USERNAME=MROCHEK PASSWORD=WOOF ! MHS_GATEWAY_WORKGROUP=PMDF MHS_GATEWAY_USERNAME=MAILER MHS_GATEWAY_TYPE=SMTP MHS_ID_SUFFIX=81BADD28 ! MHS_DEFAULT_WORKGROUP=ACME !
