The Ultimate Account Management System
version 1.03
August 1992
If you need support, we have an echoed conference on Salt Air
carried at present by our support board, Salt Air, and TDS Intl.
If you want to pick up this conf for our own reading, feel free
to do so.
Quick Installation
For quick installation see the installation section in this
document file, or enclosed file QUICK.DOC.
Display User Info
It is recommended that if you use the "Display User Info at Login"
in PCBSetup (Options #1 - top right hand side of screen), that it
be set to NO.
If Display User Info is set to NO, then TUAM will display all the
necessary information, and will appear seamlessly as a part of
PCBoard.
If Display User Info is set to YES, there are possible situations
where the PCBoard display and the TUAM display will be separated by
the system.
This will cause an uneven flow to your screen display, making a
somewhat less desirable display to the user.
If you want NO display at all, set the Display User Info in the
Security File to NO for that specific security level.
( see Display {Dsp})
The User Info displayed in TUAM will display all the data as shown
by PCBoard, plus ratio information if used for the specific user,
bytes in account, bytes in session, and reset frequency if specified.
NOTE :
It is not recommended that both displays be used at once.
We do recommend for clean displays, and a cleaner interface to
PCBoard that the Display option in the security is the ONLY one that
is used.
Below is an example of an actual PCBoard login with PCBoard displays disabled,
and TUAM displays enabled.
NOTE: TUAM displays are intelligent displays, and will display only the
information that is appropriate for the specific user. Therefore
not all information will display. The user below is not on ratios
for example, so upload and download ratios are not displayed.
What is your first name? Brian Backland
Password (Dots will echo)? (............)
Brian, you have new mail waiting in the following conference(s):

(1438 min. left) Main Board Command?
If this display moves across the screen to quickly then create a BYE file.
This file will be displayed upon exit from the door. You can display
whatever information you wish in this file, including PCB @ codes for color
and names. We DO NOT clear the screen prior to exiting the system, therefore
a @WAIT@ will pause the display. (Or whatever @ code you wish to use)
A sample BYE file to simply pause the display may be:
@WAIT@
Display Files
There are several display files available to you as a SysOp, which
will provide enhanced displays to your users above and beyond what
we have provided.
All of these files support security specific files, PCB @ language
codes, and PCB graphics as well as the G (ANSI graphics) extensions
and language extensions.
B0 B0 File
This file is displayed to your users instead of the normal
text.
This will provide information if you wish, letting the user
know why they are locked out of the door.
All of the normal PCB @ codes will function in this file, as
will the PCB @ color codes.
This file will also support SECURITY, GRAPHICS and
LANGUAGE extensions automatically.
BYE Bye File
This File is not normally used, but will be displayed at
the exit of the TUAM door.
It will support all the PCB @ codes if you find a use for
it.
This file will also support SECURITY, GRAPHICS and
LANGUAGE extensions automatically.
NOB Byte Fail
This File is displayed if the BYTE ratio fails.
This file is provided and can be edited, it will support
all the @ variables and @ color codes as well.
This file will display when bytes are NOT distributed to
a user on BYTES or BYTES/FILES ratio who fails the BYTES
ratio test.
We have included @WAIT@ in the demonstration file to keep
the screen displayed for the userr
This file will also support SECURITY, GRAPHICS and
LANGUAGE extensions automatically.
NOF File Fail
This File is displayed if the FILE ratio fails.
This file is provided and can be edited, it will support
all the @ variables and @ color codes as well.
This file will display when bytes are NOT distributed to
a user on FILES or BYTES/FILES ratio who fails the FILES
ratio test.
We have included @WAIT@ in the demonstration file to keep
the screen displayed for the user.
This file will also support SECURITY, GRAPHICS and
LANGUAGE extensions automatically.
Below is listed a listing of all possible screen displays upon login.

Version 2 will support multi-language, and will automatically select the
correct language as chosen on PCBoard.
Installation
For experienced sysops, TUAM is a easy door to install, with no
maintenance files or configuration files necessary!
Although TUAM uses a TPA, you will find this is one of the best used
TPAs you may ever install. Many other TPA programs are simply not
used by many or even the majority of users, making the extra bytes
redundant.
TUAM on the other hand, uses only 32 bytes per user, and bytes are
something that virtually every user on your system will utilize.
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.
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.
DO NOT use create USERS.INF file unless you want alot of work and
headache !
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
If your PCBoard is NOT not configured to disallow environment
variables, then PCBoard will set this automatically when
entering a door. However, some sysops disable this feature
in PCBoard.
This variable is also need in the System Manager (TUAMSM),
and may need to be set manually to enter the system mananger.
Here is an example of your PCBSM screen displays.

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
TUAM
( If you are running multiple configurations
include the configuration name after TUAM.
ie: TUAM NODE1 )
** Note : Do not reload PCBoard, as this is a shell door if
is configured as above.
IF YOU ARE SET UP AS ABOVE AND GET ZERO BYTE PWRD
FILES GENERATED, OR THE SYSTEM DOES NOT RUN, THEN
TRY A NON-SHELL DOOR AS SHOWN BELOW.
Multiple Configuration Files :
If you wish to use multiple configuration files type the
configuration file on the command line.
ie: TUAM CONFIG1 will load CONFIG1.SEC and CONFIG1.CFG
No name on the command line will run the defaults, this will
allow for multiple configuration files.
Version 2 will enhance this area, making it much cleaner and
easier from the sysops standpoint.
Example of batch file (NON SHELL) :
@ECHO OFF
CD \DOORS\TUAM
TUAM
BOARD
** Note : If you use NON-SHELL because of memory problems
do not define door as shell in PCBSetup as shown
below.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Door Installation
Using PCBSetup choose the DOOR.LST file to edit.
Edit DOORS File
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.
TUAM is a TPA door, but DOES NOT use a USER.SYS file. Please ensure
that NO USER.SYS exists when TUAM is run.
NOTE: If you have other auto-login doors, you will need to modify
them, or adjust BYTES to accommodate your plans for login.
We have adapted our autologin door to accommodate 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.
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.
Example of possible Screen displays to User

Error Level Upon Exit
TUAM will return an Error Level equal to the user security level
upon exit from the program.
This will allow some simple batch file routines to be developed
within the logon door file.
You will NOT be able to run another door requiring TPA's at
present, however, it will allow more flexibility and control.
Below is a brief example of a batch file using errorlevels.
Remember errorlevels MUST be placed with the highest level first
in decending order due to the method of reading DOS does.
Also, an errorlevel can be used to reroute all levels above or
equal to it. Both examples are shown here.
C:
CD \DOORS\TUAM

REM JUMP TO REMIND
REM LEVELS 200 THROUGH 255
IF ERRORLEVEL 70 GOTO DOTHIS

Beta Test Sites
We are currently searching for some reliable beta sites for version 2
of TUAM.
If you are interested, give us a call, we will consider all applicants.
However, all applicants will not necessarly be selected as beta sites.
TUAM v2 :
We are working on the following features for TUAM v2. We will not
guarantee when any or all of these features will be in TUAM v2, but
we are currently in the development of TUAM v2.
o Password Control
o File Accounts
o Message Accounts
o Multiple security level configurations
o Conference to join on login
o Conference to join upon logoff
o Password Database (for each user)
o Network SysOp flag
o Added flexibility on expiration of accounts
o Estimated Expiration Dates
o 26 Group Accounts
o 10 Groups per User Account
o Group Conferences
o Minimum Password Length
o Password Validation
o Password Change forced by system based on sysop setting per security
level.
o Password Change override flag per individual user
o Time sessions available for each security level, with multiple
definations for various times of the day.
InstaReg or other Registration Systems
If you use InstaReg, PCBVerify or any other validation or security
level changer. Please note ALL levels used by these other systems,
and make a note of them all.
Then set Frc flag in the Byte Editor to YES for each of these levels.
This will fix any undue problems these other systems may have with
TUAM.
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.
TUAM reads the original PWRD file only once, upon initializing the
system. It will NEVER again read the original PWRD file.
This PWRD file (the original one in C:\PCB\MAIN) can be deleted if
you do not need it any longer.
TUAM keeps the security information in a file called TUAM.SEC, and
creates dynamic PWRD files according to the current users needs.
The temporary Sysop level as defined in the PCBSet up screen.
The level granted when F1 is pressed, WILL ALWAYS be granted the
FULL SESSION TIME AND SESSION BYTES regardless of the current
users normal status.
Note on Expiration
If the PCBSetup flag for "Enable Subscription Mode" is set to N,
then TUAM will NOT expire users regardless of settings of the Bytes,
Time or Date Expiration Flags in TUAMSM.
The "Enable Subscription Mode" flag is in PCBSetup as shown below.─┐

386 Specific Version
We have a 386 specific version of TUAM which is called TUAM386.EXE.
If you are running 386/486 machines, this code will be slightly
smaller and faster. Please rename TUAM386.EXE to TUAM.EXE prior to
using.
PCBoard /M - Multi Port Version
TUAM386.EXE automatically supports fossil drivers and is fully
compatable with the PCBoard/M version.

PROBLEMS
Time or Bytes are not set correctly:
There needs to be a time or byte entry in either the PWRD
editor OR in the Time Editor (for time) or the Byte Editor
(for bytes)
Each security level NEEDS to have an entry in one of the
fields specified.
If you get a TIME or BYTE problem, please check carefully
the TIME EDITOR, BYTE EDITOR and RATIO EDITOR and PWRD for
that specific security level. ONE of the editors MUST have
time and byte parameters specified.
TUAMSM NOT loading:
Ensure the enviroment variable PCBDAT is set.
Example: SET PCBDAT=C:\PCB\PCBOARD.DAT
TUAM not giving correct time:
Ensure that a TIME is set up for specific security level
in either PWRD Editor or TIME Editor, ONE of these needs
to have TIME parameters.
Our new versions of TUAM will default to 10 minutes if
NO time is found in the TUAM files.
TUAM is writing a ZERO BYTE PWRD file:
The security level for this user IS NOT defined in TUAMSM.
Ensure that ALL levels have time configurations in either
the PWRD Editor OR the Time Editor.
Later versions of TUAM will NOT cause a zero byte file to
be written.
ALT-D is NOT working - NO DEFAULT IS BEING COPIED:
You have not configured the DEFAULT SCREEN.
Please go into the CONFIGURATION EDITOR screen, and set up
the defaults.
TUAM is ONLY giving out 10 minutes of time to a specific user:
TUAM has not been able to find the users security level in
TIME Editor or PWRD Editor.
Please recheck your configuration files.
THIS WILL NOT GIVE A ZERO BYTE FILE, IF YOU HAVE A ZERO
BYTE FILE PLEASE CHECK YOUR MEMORY STATUS.
Pressing F1 to give temporary SysOp status does not work:
Please ensure your temporary SYSOP levels have TIME and
BYTES defined in them as any other user would require.
NOT getting correct entries in PCBoard:
Please ensure you are changing to the TUAM directory
prior to running the TUAM door.
Also, ensure that you did not run TUAMSM from any
directory other than TUAM's own directory.
If you have a file TUAM.SEC or TUAM.CFG in your PCBoard's
node root directory (where your PCBoard.Dat files are) then
please delete these files.
TUAM.SEC and TUAM.CFG should only exist in the TUAM directory.
PCBoard is displaying event warning screen all the time:
Edit your PCBText record # 116.
The default shows:
@FIRST@, your time has been adjusted for our event.
Change this record to:
%C:\TUAM\EVENTWRN
We have included a sample EVENTWRN file to help handle this situation.
This is the ONLY situation where we can not handle the user time, as
this is displayed before PCBoard will allow us control.
User can NOT use any commands
You have turned Commands ON in the configuration editor,
and HAVE NOT set up the Command Levels for the specific
users.
Doors like InstaReg, Eagle Verify, PCBVerify etc do not WORK !
Users are logged off of system, and have to return the call to
get access. Once back online the system works fine :
Check all of the security levels used by ALL of your
security level changing systems. Automated ones, the ones
run during events are not necessary to change.
Make a node of all of the affected levels, and return to
TUAMSM (Byte Editor Screen) and set the Frc flag to Y for
all of these levels.
I can not get InstaReg or PCBVerify to work with TUAM in one login
DOOR:
Version 1.07 and beyond should coexist with InstaReg, however
you will have to do a PCB145 /READSYS prior to running TUAM
and after running InstaReg.
Also, please delete the USER.SYS file after running
PCB145 /READSYS and before running TUAM or reentering PCBoard.
