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.

Client information is not sent for products not using a DVM, such as those using the Genero Report Engine (GRE). If the Genero Report Writer product is used or if Genero Enterprise is licensed using the Genero Report Engine, client information is not sent.

You can output client information when using the command to show the registered active license user list, flmprg -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.
