HP Software Integration Sockets/XL Enhancements 

by Dan Kaplan 
Cooperative Computing Systems Operation 

HP Sockets/XL is customer-installable.  Prior to installation, the user
should have installed and configured the system for NS LAN. HP Sockets/XL
must be installed in the HPSKTS account.

HP Sockets/XL requires the use of the loopback feature of HP Network
Services to operate.  This feature is started by issuing the command:

         :NETCONTROL NET=LOOP;START

prior to issuing the

         :NSCONTROL START

command.

HP Sockets/XL version A.02.00 uses four network port addresses.  The
earlier version, A.01.10, only uses three.  These port addresses default
to 5719, 5720, 5721, and 5732.  If you are using these port addresses for
other purposes, HP Sockets/XL allows you to specify which port addresses
you want it to use when executing the SMD.PUB.HPSKTS program.  Please
refer to Chapter 3 of the HP Software Integration Sockets System 
Administrator's Manual (92568-90002) for more details.

The following list contains information about account capabilities, group
capabilities, and file access permissions for the HP Sockets/XL product.
After installing the HP Sockets/XL product, one account and twelve groups
are generated on your system.  They are:

               Account : HPSKTS
                         CAP=AM,AL,GL,PS,ND,SF,BA,IA,PM,PH,MR
                         ACCESS=(R,W,X:ANY;A,L:AC)

               Since this account has the PM capability, you must
               have a password for it.

               Groups  : H.HPSKTS
                         CAP=BA,IA
                         ACCESS=(R:ANY;L,W,A,X,S:GU)

               Groups  : INTERNAL.HPSKTS

     ********  The following four groups are new for version

               Groups  : TUTDICT.HPSKTS

                         ACCESS=(R:ANY;W,A,L,X,S:AC)

               Groups  : CONFIG.HPSKTS

               Groups  : TCONFIG.HPSKTS
                         CAP=IA,BA
                         ACCESS=(R,W,A,L,X,S:GU)

HP Sockets/XL uses four network port addresses that default to 5719,
5720, 5721, and 5732.  These may be changed on your system if there is
any conflict with any other software trying to use the same port
addresses.  Please refer to Chapter 3 of the HP Software Integration 
Sockets System Administrator's Manual (92568-90002) for details on how to
do this.
