- Sitelock AppNote
-
- In order to improve the overall usability of Sitelock and to
- help the LAN Manager control server access, an additional
- utility is now available for use with SiteLock.
-
- How it works:
- As part of the File Server's system login script you rin the
- program CHKSW. CHKSW will check for the existence of
- Sitelock's Swatcher program at login time. If the user
- doesn't have the Swatcher program loaded, CHKSW will return
- and error code. The login script can be programmed to take
- appropriate action such as immediately logging the user off
- the server. A sample batch file is shown below:
-
- echo off
- CHKSW
- if errorlevel = 1 goto bad
- echo SWatcher loaded, all is fine!
- goto out
- :bad
- echo Swatcher is NOT loaded!
- :out
-
- To ensure security in a multi-server environment, you must
- have CHKSW run on every server even if Sitelock is not
- running on that particular server. Because login scripts do
- not run when you "attach" to a server, a user could log into
- a server without CHKSW and then attach to a server that does
- have it. The important point here is to make sure that no
- matter what server the user comes in on, you check for the
- Sitelock Swatcher program.
-
- HOW TO GET IT:
- The CHKSW utility can be obtained three ways. If you have a
- Compuserve ID, you will find the file in the Netwire Section
- (GO NOVA). It will be in Library 17 as a new upload
- (CHECKSL.ZIP) and then end up in Library 12. You can also
- call the Brightwork Bulletin Board and download the file
- CHECKSL.ZIP. If you don't have access to a modem, call us
- and we will send it to you at no charge.
-
- We hope that this utility will help you better control and
- manage your network. Should you have any questions,
- comments, or suggestions, we would love to hear from you.
- As always, thanks for purchasing Brightwork Products.
