PASSWORD MODEL FILE
Written by Jerry Ray
Florida Computer Resources
2/1/90 Version
The PASSWORD model file is a modified DESIGNER model file based on the
NETWORK model. When the program starts, a screen is displayed requesting
an operator ID and password. The user enters these, and then the program
will allow the operator to continue. (The password will display as dots
on the screen.)
The model is based on the following operating conventions:
The password data file is encrypted to avoid typing the contents out.
It contains the operator ID, password, and security clearance code.
The security clearance is a number from 1 through 20. In the setup
procedure for each screen or report, set the variable CLEARANCE to
the minimum security clearance required to allow the user into the
procedure. The system will display an error message to anyone going
to a procedure that is not authorized. If the setup procedure is
not put in (CLEARANCE = 0), then the system will assume that this
procedure is not to be password protected, and the security check
will not occur.
This is a simple implementation of a password model, and may be modified
by anyone wishing to improve the model. The OWNER ID to decrypt the
password file to load in SCANNER is "MASTER" (all caps). Use the
FILER utility to create the password file, and the SCANNER utility
to change it. You may change the owner ID to something else by editing
the model file.
Have fun, and happy passwording !!!!
