Creating Responder Profiles
By using responder profiles, a remote transfer user does not have to know a local user name and password on your local machine to initiate a transfer. A responder profile is chosen based on the remote user name, password, and the node definition associated with the incoming request. The information in this responder profile is used to log on to the local system.
Note: You can create profiles for other users only if you are the root account or a member of the
cfadmin
group.
- Procedure
- Optional: On the command line, navigate to the $CFROOT/bin directory.
- Enter
cfrprofile prompt:YES
.You are prompted for the required parameters to define a responder profile.Note: You can use the cfrprofile command without being prompted for the required parameters. See the following sample command:cfrprofile n:dataServerA r:abc rp:abc l:johndoe prompt:NO
- On the prompt menu, set the values for the required parameters.
See the following sample command:
cfrprofile prompt:YES Enter a valid Node Name: dataServerA Enter a valid Remote User: abc Enter a valid Remote Password: Re-enter Remote Password: Enter a valid Local User: johndoe
This example creates a responder profile for the remote userabc
. This remote user can initiate a transfer request from thedataServerA
node without having to know the User ID and password in the local system. The initiating transfer will set the User ID to and password to the values defined in the responder profile definition. The transfer is processed on the local machine using the local user ID johndoe.
