SFTP and Login.com

Heinz W Genhart — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 09:38:00 GMT

Hi community

We are currently testing a SFTP transfer, where OpenVMS 7.3-2 with TCPIP 5.4 ECO6 is the server and a solaris machine is the client.

I did not found any information regarding the login.com. Does somebody knows if the login.com on the server side should be executed after a login over SFTP?
Is there another commandfile executet during a SFTP login?

Thanks in advance

Regards

Heinz

$ set sec/acl=(alarm=security,acc=read+execute+success) login.com
$ set audit/alarm/ena=acl
$ REPLY/ENA=SECURITY

Hi Volker

I found already out that login.com will not be executet.

But is there another commandfile executed during login, which must be maybe in the [.ssh2] directory ? I cant find any related information in HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Guide to SSH nor somewhere else.

Currently my customer is using ftp and in the login commandfile of this transfer user account is something like a SET DEF disk1:[dirxy]. We need to replace ftp with sftp. If there is no such functionality provided like login.com for sftp, then we have to create/change the user account. But we would preffere to solve it with a commandfile.

The HP version is however executing sylogin.com.
may be you can conditionally execute login.com over there.

Hi Wim

I tried to use sylogin.com for the required commands.

Its true, that a sftp login executes sylogin.com, but the username at this time is stil tcpip$ssh. So this solution does not work.
I should be able to do a set def, depending on the user who logs in with sftp

The only solution until now is to create new accounts with the target directory as the users login directory

[...] login[.com] [...] SET DEF disk1:[dirxy].

Why?

Why can't you specify the desired
destination path on the SFTP command?

What is your SFTP command?

Thanks a lot for your input.

We decided to change the default directory of the transfer accounts.
