Here you've got two Pascal utilities:



                UAI             v. 1.0

                UAI_TO_SYMBOL   v. 1.0





UAI  and UAI_TO_SYMBOL are two utilities to obtain information  from SYSUAF

about one user. UAI is for interactive use; UAI_TO_SYMBOL is intended to be

used  within  DCL  command  procedures (but you can use it interactively as

well).



You also have:

                GET_UAI.PAS     v.1.20



GET_UAI   is   a   Pascal [External] Function,   which interfaces  UAI  and
UAI_TO_SYMBOL with the $GETUAI System Services.
You will find both ALPHA and VAX EXEs and OBJs, and an (unsupported) command
procedure to build id if you have a PASCAL compiler.

1) UAI



You  can  use the UAI utility to interactively obtain information about one

user from SYSUAF. Use the  UAI  command  followed  by  ;  UAI  will

require ONE username and ONE SYSUAF field.



Here's an example:



      $ UAI

      USERNAME:        system

      REQUESTED Field: lastlogin_I

      ---------------------------------

      USERNAME         SYSTEM

      LASTLOGIN_I      29-NOV-1993 08:14:17.07



To obtain a list of the supported sysuaf field, use the command:



         $ UAI/HELP

You  can  find  a full description for every field looking for the $GETUAI

System Service documentation, into System Services Reference Manual.



RESTRICTIONS:  there  is  a  known restriction when using PRIV and DEF_PRIV

field: GRPPRV, READALL and SECURITY privileges are *NOT* recognized.
2) UAI_TO_SYMBOL



UAI_TO_SYMBOL  does  exactly  what  UAI does, but putting output into a DCL

symbol instead of to the standard output.  It's  intended  to  be  executed

within command procedures. This is the calling format:



             $ UAI_TO_SYMBOL username,field,symbol_name



Now two examples.



First example:



  $ UAI_TO_SYMBOL user,flags,result

  $ SHOW SYMBOL result

     RESULT = "Defcli,Lockpwd,Disuser"
econd  example (you can also use UAI_TO_SYMBOL to confirm existence of an

username):



  $ UAI_TO_SYMBOL user,USERNAME,check_user

  $ IF check_User .eqs. "" then goto No_Such_User





RESTRICTIONS:  there  is  a  known restriction when using PRIV and DEF_PRIV

field: GRPPRV, READALL and SECURITY privileges are *NOT* recognized.

                         -----------------------

This utility has been developed under OpenVMS VAX 5.5-2. It works fine with

OpenVMS AXP 7.2, but some 7 .* feature could be not supported. For example:

flags AUDIT, EXTAUTH are not recognized. Modifications are possibile if you

need them  - contact me.
