.TH "FILINGSUBSET1D" 1 "30-Dec-86" "Xerox (WRC)" .\" $Header: FilingSubset1d.n,v 1.2 87/04/01 13:54:48 ed Exp $ .SH NAME FilingSubset1d - XNS FilingSubset version 1 service .SH DESCRIPTION .I FilingSubset1d is a service for the XNS Courier FilingSubset protocol version 1. The implementation adheres to the guidelines for implementations documented in the FilingSubset Implementor's Guide. .PP The service is forked from the XNS courier daemon, .IR xnscourierd , upon connection requests for version 1 of the FilingSubset Protocol. .SH "PROCEDURE SUPPORT" The Filing Protocol defined procedures .IR Logon , .IR Logoff , .IR Continue , .IR Open , .IR Close , .IR List , .IR Delete , .I Store and .I Retrieve are supported. The extent of support is consistent with the implementation of the FilingSubset Protocol as described in the FilingSubset Implementor's Guide. .SH "ATTRIBUTE SUPPORT" Attribute support within the service is also consistent with the FilingSubset Protocol. All attributes defined as mandatory in the FilingSubset Protocol are supported (\fIcreatedOn\fR, .IR dataSize , .IR isDirectory , .IR modifiedOn , .IR pathname, .IR type ). .PP .I FilingSubset1d supports several file types. The FilingSubset defined types, .IR tDirectory , .I tText and .I tUnspecified are allowed as well as the additional Viewpoint types, Interpress and VPCanvas (RES). The latter two are supported only for interoperability and are treated the same as .I tUnspecified files during file transfer. Since the service does not maintain the file types explicitly within the Unix file system .I FilingSubset1d will make an educated guess of the file type based on the contents of the file, when a client requests the type of a file. .SH "FILE TRANSFERS" .I FilingSubset1d currently makes a distinction between .I tText and other file types for use during file transfer. Files of type .I tText undergo a translation of contents for compatibility with existing Filing implementations; Unix EOL characters (\\n) are translated to and from Xerox EOL characters (\\r), Xerox left arrow characters are translated to underscore, etc. All other files are treated as a binary stream with no translation incurred. .SH AUTHENTICATION The Filing Protocol allows clients to specify both primary and secondary credentials. .I FilingSubset1d allows specific combinations of these credentials and accompanying verifier and performs the authentication based on the type supplied. Clients may specify .IR simple , .I strong or .I nullCredentials as the primary credentials. If .I simple credentials are supplied, the credentials and verifier will be validated with a network Authentication service. .I nullCredentials and .I strong credentials will effectively be allowed with no network authentication. .PP Regardless of the type of primary credentials, clients are required to supply a set of .I simple secondary credentials consisting of the types .I userName and .IR userPassword . These will contain the user's Unix user name and password and are used by .I Filing6d to validate the user on the host system. Failure to supply these will result in an Authentication error being returned to the client. .SH "SEE ALSO" Filing4d(1N), Filing5d(1N), Filing6d(1N), ViewpointFiles(5N) .br Filing Protocol, \s8XNSS\s0 108605 (May 1986) .br FilingSubset Implementor's Guide, \s8XNSG\s0 098609 (September 1986) .SH NOTES Some FilingSubset defined implied attributes are not currently supported. These include .IR accessList , .IR defaultAccessList . .PP .I tAsciiText files are currently not implemented. Files of this type are currently transferred as .I tText files with the translation specified above used to insure compatibility with existing Filing implementations. .SH BUGS Like all other server implementations in the Unix/XNS environment a single Filing session is not allowed to exist over multiple transport (SPP) connection. .SH AUTHOR Ed Flint
