sessfgate Utility—Route Unicenter Security Requests to CA Access Control

The sessfgate utility routes and reformats Unicenter Security APIs from the message queue to CA Access Control. The Unicenter Security APIs on UNIX all channel into a message queue. The sessfgate utility processes the API requests sent through the message queue and routes these reformatted and rerouted requests to CA Access Control. The utility then translates the return codes of CA Access Control to Unicenter TNG equivalents.

To activate the gateway, you must run the Unicenter Integration setup procedure. The Unicenter Integration setup installs the sessfgate program in the ACInstallDir/tng/bin directory (where ACInstallDir is the directory where you installed CA Access Control, by default /opt/CA/AccessControl ). After Unicenter Security is shut down and CA Access Control is started, sessfgate accepts API requests instead of SSF.

This command has the following format:

sessfgate [‑i|‑s|‑l] ‑t

‑I

Specifies to start the gateway.

‑s

Specifies to stop the gateway.

‑l

Specifies the status.

‑t

Toggles the tracing file (log file = /opt/CA/AccessControl /log/sessftrace.log).

Note: If you run seload before running Unicenter TNG, you must start sessfagte manually with the following command:

ACInstallDir/tng/bin/sessfagte -I

where ACInstallDir is the directory in which you installed CA Access Control.
