VMS Help XAUTH, Creating a File *Conan The Librarian |
Use the XAUTH -f ADD command to manually create an X authority
file. You must manually create an X authority file for the
server when enabling authentication outside of a DECwindows
Motif session. You can also choose to create additional user X
authority files to store alternate authentication settings, such
as for authorizing untrusted network connections.
An X authority file name can consist of any characters currently
supported by OpenVMS; however, the file extension is restricted
to a maximum of 37 characters and version numbers are not
allowed.
The -f option specifies the name of the X authority file, and
the ADD command creates the file by adding an entry. If you do
not enter a fully-qualified filename, the new X authority file is
written to the current directory by default.
For example, the following command creates a new X authority file
UNTRUSTED.DECW$XAUTH to be used to authorize untrusted network
connections:
$ XAUTH -f UNTRUSTED.DECW$XAUTH ADD :0 .
