HP OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual

If this item code is specified, the ACME$_AUTH_MECHANISM and ACME$_RESPONSE_DATA item codes must also be specified. (The VMS domain of interpretation does not support this mechanism type.)

ACME$_CONTEXT_ACME_ID

The ACME$_CONTEXT_ACME_ID item code is an input item code. It establishes the ACME agent context within which ACME-specific item codes are interpreted. This item code has an effect on the parsing of the list of ACME-specific item codes, and takes effect immediately. It is in effect until the next instance of code ACME$_CONTEXT_ACME_ID, code ACME$_CONTEXT_ACME_NAME, code ACME$_TARGET_DOI_ID, or code ACME$_TARGET_DOI_NAME. The buffer must contain a longword value specifying the agent ID of an ACME agent.

ACME$_CONTEXT_ACME_NAME

The ACME$_CONTEXT_ACME_NAME item code is an input item code. It establishes the ACME agent context within which ACME-specific item codes are interpreted. This item code has an effect on the parsing of the list of ACME-specific item codes, and takes effect immediately. It is in effect until the next instance of code ACME$_CONTEXT_ACME_ID, code ACME$_CONTEXT_ACME_NAME, code ACME_TARGET_DOI_ID, or code ACME$_TARGET_DOI_NAME. The buffer must contain the case-insensitive name string of an ACME agent.

ACME$_CREDENTIALS_NAME

The ACME$_CREDENTIALS_NAME item code is an input item code. It specifies the name of the persona extension holding the set of credentials upon which to operate. The buffer must contain the case-insensitive name string of a persona extension that has been registered on the system.

ACME$_CREDENTIALS_TYPE

The ACME$_CREDENTIALS_TYPE item code is an input item code. It specifies the extension ID of the persona extension holding the set of credentials upon which to operate. The buffer must contain a longword value specifying the extension ID of a persona extension that has been registered on the system.

ACME$_DIALOGUE_SUPPORT

The ACME$_DIALOGUE_SUPPORT item code is an input item code. It specifies which dialogue mode features are supported by the caller. The buffer must contain a longword bit vector of applicable flags.

The $ACMEDEF macros defines the following symbols for the valid flags:

ACMEDLOGFLG$V_INPUT---character string input/output capabilities
ACMEDLOGFLG$V_NOECHO---"no echo" input capabilities

These are the same as those for the ACMEIS$L_FLAGS field on an item set entry. See the description of the context argument for further information.

Specify the ACME$_DIALOGUE_SUPPORT item code to indicate the interactive capabilities of the user interface. If the caller is unable to support features necessary to complete a given request, the request ultimately fails. The caller receives a condition value ACME$_INSFDIALSUPPORT for insufficient dialogue support.

ACME$_EVENT_DATA_IN

The ACME$_EVENT_DATA_IN item code is an input item code. It specifies the buffer containing information applicable to an event operation.

The meaning of this data is specific to the domain of interpretation for which it is used.

The ACME$_EVENT_DATA_OUT item code is an output item code. It specifies the buffer to receive information returned from an event operation.

The meaning of this data is specific to the domain of interpretation for which it is used.

ACME$_EVENT_TYPE

The ACME$_EVENT_TYPE item code is an input item code. It specifies the type of event being reported. The buffer must contain a longword value. Interpretation of the value is specific to the domain of interpretation to which the event is being reported.

ACME$_LOCALE

The ACME$_LOCALE item code is an input item code. It specifies the collection of data and rules applicable to a language and culture. The buffer must contain a name string that reflects a locale supported by the system.

The buffer must contain a string in the following case-insensitive syntax:

language-country

language is a 2-letter language code (ISO 639)
country is a 2-letter country code (ISO 3166)

The default is EN-US, and cannot be overridden by the specified locale. Locale information may be interpreted by ACME agents to determine country and language requirements.

ACME$_LOGON_INFORMATION

The ACME$_LOGON_INFORMATION item code is an output item code. It specifies the buffer to receive an ACM logon information structure, which contains statistics pertaining to the authenticated principal name within the contexts of the authenticating and native (VMS) domains of interpretation.

The size of the buffer must be sufficient to handle data from whatever VMS versions are used, as described in the ACME$_LOGON_INFORMATION structure found in the HP OpenVMS Programming Concepts Manual.

Specifies the number of seconds that must elapse before the current request times out. (See the ACME$M_TIMEOUT function modifier.)

Timeout interval values are specified in seconds and must be between 1 and 300 seconds. If an invalid value is specified, the service returns SS$_IVTIME.

The default timeout interval is 30 seconds. This value may be adjusted by defining the exec mode logical name ACME$TIMEOUT_DEFAULT in the LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE logical name table. This timeout is enforced for non-dialogue requests and for the first request in a sequence of dialogue calls. The default value for subsequent dialogue requests can be adjusted by defining the exec mode logical name ACME$DIALOGUE_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT in the LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE logical name table.

Unprivileged clients can specify only timeout interval values less than or equal to the default value. Values greater than the default are ignored. Output Message Categories This section describes the various output message categories supported by the $ACM service.
