+ If UT[0] is set, then the Novell environment will be
ignored, if present, and only the Windows environment
information will be retrieved and sent to the R3000. If
UT[1] is set and the Novell environment is invalid or the
user is not authenticated with its Novell server, then the
results sent to the R3000 are invalid (probably empty
values). The default UT[255] auto detects Novell vs.
Win32 and will automatically favor Novell authentication
over Windows, if possible.
* Special Interest. Values most likely to change during
testing, configuration, and production implementation.
++ Alternate configuration file is only valid when specified on
the command line. It will be ignored in any other context.
If the configuration file cannot be loaded from the alter-
nate location, an error will be logged and an attempt will
be made to load the default configuration file. If the alter-
nate configuration file is specified and is blank ( CF[] ),
the 8e6 Authenticator will not attempt to load any config-
uration file; this can minimally speed up execution time.
The compiled default value of CF[-] causes the default
configuration file loading to be attempted, which has the
same full path and filename of the current, loaded 8e6
Authenticator executable, but with an extension of “.cfg”
instead of “.exe”. That is, if the 8e6 Authenticator client is
“\\example\authenticat.exe”, the search for the default
configuration file would be “\\example\authenticat.cfg”. It
is not an error if the default configuration file does not
exist. It is an error if the default configuration file exists
but cannot be read or parsed correctly. Unknown param-
eters are ignored. Format/syntax errors will abort the
reading and report an error, but the 8e6 Authenticator will
attempt to continue running.
• For each IP address where “:PORT” is omitted from the
address, the RP[] port value is used. For example, if
RA[1.1.1.1:5555] is set, the RP[] parameter is ignored.
