Netutil (Net Management Utility)
The forms-based Net Management Utility, netutil, is used to define the connection and authorization data used by the Communications Server to access remote instances.
System administrators (or any user with the appropriate Actian X privileges) can use netutil to perform the following tasks:
• Add, change, or delete global remote user authorizations or connection data entries.
These tasks require the GCA privilege NET_ADMIN.
• Add, change, or delete any user’s private remote user authorizations or connection data entries using the -u command flag.
These tasks require the NET_ADMIN privilege. For more information about the -u flag, which allows a user to perform operations on behalf of other users, see Command Line Flags in Netutil Non-interactive Mode.
• Stop the Communications Server.
This task requires the GCA privilege SERVER_CONTROL. For instructions on stopping the Communications Server using the forms-based netutil, see the chapter “Maintenance Procedures.”
End users can use netutil to:
• Add, change, or delete their private connection data entries.
• Add, change, or delete their private remote user authorizations.
