[AG-TECH]X509 CN, VenueServer configfile and profile

[West Suhanic]

Hi Thomas:

I have a few questions:

1)What is the relationship between the CN embedded in the X509 certificate
and the user ID running the VenueClient. I have had cases where if the two
differ
I get an authorization failure when trying to get into the VenueServer.

2)How does one create a configfile for the VenueServer? Could I please have
an example configfile.
(I would like to create it without using an interface. Editing it with vi is
preferable.)

3)How does one create a service profile? Could I please have an example
service profile.
(I would like to create it without using an interface. Editing it with vi is
preferable.)


regards,

West
