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.
