Client information

The client sends information when connecting to the DVM, which helps to identify the client for a session.

The clientInfo is sent to the DVM as part of the protocol between DVM and the front-end.

You can output client information when using the command to show the registered active license user list, fglWrt -a info users. The information displayed may differ depending on the network architecture and the front-end. Typically, the following information is displayed:

FrontEndId2   : frontendID
cx-mode       : cnType
app-id        : appId 
user-name     : uname 
host-addr     : ip 
hw-addr       : mac 
host-name     : hname

where:

frontendID: This identifies the front-end. For the web and desktop clients, the GUI server's IP address and port, and the process identifier is displayed. For desktop clients, the Global Unique Identifier (GUID) of the front-end is displayed.
cnType: This is the connection type. The value can be "gas" when the connection is through a web server to the DVM, or "direct" when the connection is direct to the DVM via the Genero Desktop Client (GDC).
appId: This is the Global Unique Identifier (GUID) of the application session number. This number is in the URL /sua/appId/
uname: This is the local user name. The user that runs the front-end.
ip: This is the user computer IP address; this is the local IP address even if the connection goes through a router or a proxy.
mac: This is the user computer mac address.
hname: This is the name of the computer that runs the DVM.

Note:

Depending on the proxy configuration or the web server configuration, hname and ip can be the proxy or the web server information instead of the user information.
