Differences from Xprint V7.0/UNIX Xprint V7.0 for Windows
2. To deal with encrypted files without using the -cp option, Xprint V7.0 has to
impersonate a privileged user before accessing encrypted files. The
xpsetuser command can be used to store in a file privileged users accounts
and passwords that Xprint V7.0 will use later to gain access to the encrypted
data.
Two different kinds of accounts can be stored:
– Personal user accounts can be stored by all users in a Xprint V7.0 data file.
These accounts and passwords are coded and writen in the file users.dat
in the subdirectory Xprint V7.0\data\ENC on the local host.
– A default account can be created by an administrator. Only one default
account is supported; each new default account replaces the preceding one.
This information is coded and writen in the file default.dat in the subdi-
rectory Xprint V7.0\data\ENC on the local host.
When a job is sent, Xprint V7.0 firstly checks the job owner’s access rights to
the file to print. If the job owner has not enough rights to view the encrypted file,
the job is rejected (with an access error message).
If the file to print is encryted, then Xprint V7.0 checks if an account exists for the
job owner in the users.dat file. If not, Xprint V7.0 tries to use the account
from the default.dat file.
If no privileged user account can be used for the current job, the job is refused,
and the user is suggested to use the -cp option.
xpsetuser command can be used at any time. This command is also invoked
automatically, in graphical mode, at the end of installation.
Example:
The file d:\bills\june.prt is encrypted by user “editor”.
The file d:\bills\april.prt is encrypted by user “supervisor”.
The file d:\bills\july.prt is encrypted by user “revisor”.
On Xprint V7.0, the accounts & passwords for user “editor” have been registered
in the default.dat file.
The users “revisor” and “supervisor” are registered in the users.dat file.
Assuming that “manager”, “supervisor” and “revisor” have read/write access to
the files in the d:\bills subdirectory, and that the -cp option will not be used:
– The user “manager” can print the file d:\bills\june.prt.
