Installation:
For experienced sysops, TUAM is a easy door to install, with no
maintenance files or configuration files necessary!
You will have to set up a TPA by using PCBSM.EXE.
Note that on a multi-node system ALL nodes must be down for this
operation.
PCBSM will generate a backup users file in this operation, however
you may wish to have another backup offline just in case.
1) Enter PCBSM, choose menu option "Add/Remove Third Party Application"
to generate a new TPA.
For TPA information use
TPA Name : TUAM
Version : 101
Static Size : 44
Dynamic Size : 0
Keyword : BYTES
the keyword must match the name of
the door in your DOOR.LST file
For verify that the data structure corresponds to the current version
of TUAM, we have chosen a version number of 101, we will only update
this when we require a TPA structure change. This will be the TPA
structure version and NOT the TUAM version number.
Press PGDN to generate your TPA.
NOTE: TUAM is a TPA door, but DOES NOT use a USER.SYS file
Please ensure that NO USER.SYS file exists when TUAM is run.
2) You will now need to make some changes using PCBSetup.
The first will be creating a door, this may be necessary in more
than one conference, although each conference may point to the same
door.
Depending upon your setup, only the Main Door changes may be necessary,
only you as a SysOp can determine that.
It WILL however be necessary from every Conference that you wish the
user to have access to it. It is highly recommended that it is at the
very minimum available from the Main Conference, as well as ALL other
Conferences that have auto rejoin upon login set to YES.
Batch File
Example of batch file :
@ECHO OFF
CD \DOORS\TUAM
BYTES
** Note : Do not reload PCBoad, as this is a shell door.
Door Installation
Using PCBSetup choose the DOOR.LST file to edit.
USER DOOR
Filename Password Sec Login SYS SYS Shell Path to DOOR Files
65) BYTES 0 Y N N Y C:\DOORS\TUAM\
Press F2 to edit the DOOR file
ESC=Exit Alt-R=Repeat a Line Alt-I=Insert a Line Alt-D=Delete a Line
09:18:26 11-14-92 F1 help caps: OFF num: ON ins: OFF
In the above example, we show pathing to the batch file, this would
be placed in the C:\DOORS\TUAM directory. (or other directory as you
have chosen)
By doing this you save multiple doors for each node.
NOTE: If you have other auto-login doors, you will need to modify
them, or adjust BYTES to accomidate your plans for login.
We have adapted our autologin door to accomidate branching for
different users as necessary.
If you need help in this area, please let us know on the support
board, or in one of the mail networks we carry.
Batch File:
@ECHO OFF
C:
CD \DOORS\TUAM
TUAM
( If you are running multiple configurations
include the configuration name after TUAM.
ie: TUAM NODE1 )
** (note, as we shell to the door DO NOT add BOARD
to the end of the batch file)
PCBSetup Configuration :
It is highly recommended that you disable the "Display User Info
at Login" with PCBSetup in Options #1 screen.
This will make a much more pleasing display for your users.
You have full contorl of this flag per security level within TUAM.
o Please ensure that your environment variable PCBDAT is set.
If not please put in your autoexec.bat
SET PCBDAT=(drive\path\pcboard.dat)
ie: SET PCBDAT=C:\PCB\PCBOARD.DAT
This will give you a very simple and basic operation of the system, to
get into the complexities of the Security file, and user information, please
refer to the main documentation.
You MUST read TUAMSM to understand all of the configurations possible in the
System Manager.
If you use Command Levels OR Time then YOU MUST use TUAMLOFF. Please read
about TUAMLOFF in the TUAMLOFF.DOC file enclosed.
Theory of Operation:
Ok how do we do this magic? Well, PCBoard reads all of its
information regarding time and bytes from the PWRD file. This file
MUST be modified to enable node specific information to be updated
on a per user basis.
Don't worry, TUAM will handle this automatically for you, HOWEVER,
TUAM will rewrite a temporary PWRD file to the local node directory
each time the door is run.
This temporary file is the one that PCBoard will actually read.
If you are using TUAM, it is recommended that to avoid confusion in
updating your information that ALL future PWRD information be
updated using TUAMSM rather than PCBSM.
This will save you much confusion, and duplication of updates.
We will update everything automatically, PCBSM will not.
TUAM will also modify your PCBoard.Dat file to point to the new
PWRD file location. This is all automatic, and is completed as the
door runs.
If you are using Command Editors then the Command Level information
in PCBoard.Dat will also be updated as required.
For those running multi-nodes with seperate information, don't worry
a version of TUAM is on its way that will work for you as well!
Please let us know any ideas you have to improve the documentation of the
program itself.
