1 PROXY
.br
(22 October 1986)
.s
The PROXY utility allows a user to view and modify his proxy entries
in the system DECnet network authorization file.  Proxy entries control
default DECnet access when performing network file accesses and other
network operations (except remote interactive logins).  The command
syntax is:
.lm+4
PROXY ADD node::remoteuser
.br;PROXY DELETE node::remoteuser
.br;PROXY REPLACE node::remoteuser
.br;PROXY SHOW
.lm-4
.s
NOTE:  because of account expiration and the reuse of user numbers, all user
entries will be removed from the network authorization file at the end of
each school year.  Hence, you will need to rerun PROXY each year at the
beginning of September to ensure continued proxy access.
.i-1
2 node::remoteuser
.br
"remoteuser" refers to a valid userid on the remote DECnet node "node".
.i-1
2 ADD
.br
The ADD subcommand adds an entry to the network authorization file specifying
that "remoteuser" on the remote DECnet machine "node" has default access
to your user number on the local machine.
.i-1
2 DELETE
.br
The DELETE subcommand deletes an entry in the network authorization file,
effectively revoking default DECnet access to your user number from
"remoteuser" on "node".
.i-1
2 REPLACE
.br
The REPLACE subcommand allows you to replace an existing proxy entry for a
specific "node::remoteuser" already ADDed by another user.  Since a particular
"node::remoteuser" can be associated with only one local user, PROXY will not
let you ADD a second entry.  You must specify the REPLACE option to supersede
the existing entry.
.i-1
2 SHOW
.br
The SHOW subcommand displays all proxy entries in which remote users are
proxied to your user number on the local machine.

.i-4
(1) PROXY ADD UTA780::HARRY
.s
The above command grants user HARRY on the remote DECnet machine UTA780
default access to your user number on the local machine (in this example,
node UTVAX).  Hence, if he issues the command:
.i+4
DIRECTORY UTVAX::
.s
he will see a directory listing of your files.
.s
.i-4
(2) PROXY DELETE UTA780::HARRY
.s
This command revokes default DECnet access to your user number (on local node
UTVAX) from HARRY on UTA780.  If he wants access to your files, he must
specify your user number and password in the file access command:
.i+4
COPY UTVAX"ABCD123 MYPASS"::LOGIN.COM AB__LOGIN.COM
.s
.i-4
(3) PROXY REPLACE HSC730::BILL
.s
If the user BILL on HSC730 has proxy access to another user number on the
local node, the above command will revoke that access and give him proxy
access to your user number.
.s
.i-4
(4) PROXY SHOW
.s
This command displays all users with proxy access to your user number.
