Arguments

 

rem_node

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character-coded text string
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by descriptor-fixed-length string descriptor
   Remote node name of the proxy to be added to or modified in
   the proxy database. The rem_node argument is the address of a
   character-string descriptor pointing to the remote node name
   string.

   A remote node name consists of 1 to 1024 characters. No specific
   characters, format, or case are required for a remote node name
   string. Node names are converted to their DECnet for OpenVMS full
   name unless the PRX$M_BYPASS_EXPAND flag is set with the flags
   argument.

   If you specify a single asterisk (*)  for the rem_node argument,
   the user name specified by the rem_user argument on all nodes is
   served by the proxy.
 

rem_user

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character-coded text string
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by descriptor-fixed-length string descriptor
   Remote user name of the proxy to be added to or modified in
   the proxy database. The rem_user argument is the address of a
   character-string descriptor pointing to the user name string.

   A remote user name consists of 1 to 32 alphanumeric characters,
   including dollar signs ($),  underscores (_), and brackets
   ([ ]).  Any lowercase characters specified are automatically
   converted to uppercase.

   The rem_user argument can be specified in user identification
   code (UIC) format ([group, member]).  Brackets are allowed only
   if the remote user name string specifies a UIC. Group and member
   are character-string representations of octal numbers with no
   leading zeros.

   If you specify a single asterisk (*)  for the rem_user argument,
   all users from the node specified by the rem_node argument
   are served by the same user names specified by the local_user
   argument.
 

local_user

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character-coded text string
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by descriptor-fixed-length string descriptor
   Local user name to add to the proxy record specified by the rem_
   node and rem_user arguments in the proxy database as either
   the default user or local user. The local_user argument is the
   address of a character-string descriptor pointing to the local
   user name.

   A local user name consists of 1 to 32 alphanumeric characters,
   including dollar signs ($)  and underscores (_). Any lowercase
   characters specified are automatically converted to uppercase.

   The user name specified by the local_user argument must be a user
   name known to the local system.

   If the PRX$M_DEFAULT flag is specified in the flags argument, the
   user name specified by the local_user argument will be added to
   the proxy record in the proxy database as the default user. If a
   default user already exists for the specified proxy record, the
   default user is placed into the proxy's local user list and is
   replaced by the user name specified by the local_user argument.

   Proxy records can contain no more than 16 local users and 1
   default user. To add multiple users to a single proxy, you must
   call this service once for each local user.
 

flags

   OpenVMS usage:mask_longword
   type:         longword (unsigned)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by value
   Functional specification for the service and type of user the
   local_user argument represents. The flags argument is a longword
   bit mask wherein each bit corresponds to an option.

   Each flag option has a symbolic name. The $PRXDEF macro defines
   the following symbolic names:

   Symbolic Name      Description

   PRX$M_BYPASS_      The service should not convert the node name
   EXPAND             specified in the rem_node argument to its
                      corresponding DECnet for OpenVMS full name.
                      If this flag is set, it is the caller's
                      responsibility to ensure that the fully
                      expanded node name is passed into the service.

   PRX$M_DEFAULT      The user name specified by the local_user
                      argument is the default user for the proxy.
                      If this flag is not specified, the user name
                      specified by the local_user argument is added
                      to the proxy record's local user list.

   PRX$M_IGNORE_      The service should not wait for a return
   RETURN             status from the security server. No return
                      status from the server's function will be
                      returned to the caller.
