Service

Specifies the service name (as defined in /etc/services) or the port number where the server should listen for requests. The default value is eloqsd.

A suffix /4, /6, or /46 may be used for establishing IPv4 only, IPv6 (with implied IPv4) or separate IPv4 and IPv6 listening sockets. By default, separate IPv4 and IPv6 sockets are used. For example: eloqsd/46

ServiceHttp

Specifies the service name (as defined in /etc/services) or the port number where the server should listen for HTTP requests. If neither ServiceHttp nor ServiceHttps are specified, the HTTP/HTTPS status is disabled.
A suffix may specify support of the IPv4 and IPv6 protocol. By default, separate IPv4 and IPv6 sockets are used.

ServiceHttps

Specifies the service name (as defined in /etc/services) or the port number where the server should listen for HTTPS (secure HTTP) requests. If neither ServiceHttp nor ServiceHttps are specified, the HTTP/HTTPS status is disabled.
Enabling the secure HTTP protcol requires that TLS is configured.
A suffix may specify support of the IPv4 and IPv6 protocol. By default, separate IPv4 and IPv6 sockets are used.

Panic

This configuration item specifies what happens if eloqsd is aborted due to a fatal problem.

The following options are valid:

• exit - Terminate the process. This is the default.
• dump - Terminate the process and create a core dump.

panic = dump is a problem tracking option. Unless you know what you need the coredump for you probably want to stay with the default.

HttpUser

If set, the eloqsd HTTP status display will require a matching user name (HTTP basic authentication) before allowing access to the eloqsd HTTP status. The default value is empty.

HttpPswd

If set, the eloqsd HTTP status display will require a matching password (HTTP basic authentication) before allowing access to the eloqsd HTTP status. The default value is empty.

HttpFrame

Numeric flag if the links should be omitted in the HTTP status. The default value is 0.

Lang

This configuration option defines the locale, the server should use. The default value is "C". The only locale currently supported is "C".

Messages

This configuration option defines the language for server messages. This value defaults to Lang. The only locale currently supported is "C".

Charset

This defines the character set encoding, the server should use internally. Valid settings are:

• HPROMAN8 - HP Roman8
• ISO8859/1 - ISO 8859/1

The default value for HP-UX is HPROMAN8, all other platforms default to ISO8859/1. This setting is used by the server to translate client strings like user or file names.

AuthPolicy

The AuthPolicy config item specifies, how user names and passwords are validated by default. The following options are valid:

server

On HP-UX and Linux the server will validate passwords and user names using the userFile (eloqsd.user).

On Windows the server will validate user names using the userFile and pass the resulting uid (Windows account) and the password to the operating system. After a successful login, the process continues to run with the user's permissions.

user (Windows)

An operating system user account must be used to run the server which must be different from the SYSTEM account. All processes are run with this account's permissions. The userFile is used to validate both user names and passwords.

pam (HP-UX and Linux)

Users are authenticated through PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules), the userFile configuration is not used.

The default value is "server".

LogonType (Windows)

If AuthPolicy is set to "server", the LogonType item specifies how to logon a user to the operating system. The following options are valid:

interactive

The "interactive" logon type is used. This mode grants access to all resources the same user would have when logging on interactively.
Note that on Windows domain controllers, this requires the "allow log on locally" user right to be granted in the Windows Domain Controller Security Policy.

batch

The "batch" logon type is used which is meant for background processes. This was used originally in older eloqsd versions but turned out to be restricted in recent Windows server versions. It requires the "log on as a batch job" user right to be granted.

The default value is "interactive".

userFile

The path/name of the eloqsd.user file. The default is eloqsd.user in the Eloquence configuration directory.

appFile

The path/name of the eloqsd.app file. The default is eloqsd.app in the Eloquence configuration directory.

shareFile

The path/name of the eloqsd.share file. The default is eloqsd.share in the Eloquence configuration directory.

pswdFile

The path/name of the eloqsd.pswd file. The eloqsd.pswd file holds encrypted eloqsd passwords. The default is eloqsd.pswd in the Eloquence configuration directory.

DefaultUID

The name (or numeric id) of the system account to run client processes as, unless a different setting is provided for the user.

On Windows if this account is located on a domain server, it must be prefixed with the domain name followed by a backslash character (DOMAIN\username).

DefaultUID = eloqsd
#DefaultUID = Guest

DefaultGID (HP-UX, Linux)

The name (or numeric id) of the system group to run client processes as, unless a different setting is provided for the user.

DefaultGID = eloqsd

LogFile

This defines where log messages are written to. This configuration value either specifies a path/file or one of the keywords below:

• console - log messages are written to the console
• syslog - log messages will be sent to the syslog daemon (HP-UX, Linux) or the Windows Event Log.

The default value is "syslog".

SysIdent (HP-UX, Linux)
SysFacility (HP-UX, Linux)

This may be used to specify the syslog identifier and facility. Supported facility values are: USER/DAEMON/LOCAL0..LOCAL7. The default syslog identifier is "eloqsd". The default syslog facility is "USER". Please refer to syslogd(1M) for more information.

For example:

SysIdent = eloqsd
SysFacility = USER

LogFlags

Each log message has an associated origin and severity. The log flags define, which messages will be logged. The "*" origin matches all message origins, so it can be used to setup a default which can be overridden for a specific message origin (eg. "*1N0"). Default LogFlags are "*0"

The following origins are in use:

• * = All origins
• C = Configuration subsystem
• N = Network transport
• P = Protocol handling

The following severities are in use:

• ERROR = 0 - error messages
• INFO = 1 - information
• DEBUG = 2 - debug
• VDEBUG = 3 - verbose debug

When using syslog, the following priorities are mapped:

• ERROR = LOG_ERR
• INFO = LOG_NOTICE
• DEBUG = LOG_DEBUG
• VDEBUG = LOG_DEBUG

Enabling log messages with DEBUG or VDEBUG severity may result in a huge number of log messages.
To suppress anything but fatal messages, you can set LogFlags to "*0". To enable informational log messages LogFlags should be set to "*1".

MaxUsers (HP-UX, Linux)
MaxTasks (HP-UX, Linux)

The MaxUsers configuration item specifies the maximum number of TASKIDs. This also limits the number of concurrent eloqcore processes. The default value is 40.

The MaxTasks configuration item specifies the maximum number of TASKIDs to reserve for "secondary" eloqcore processes. The default value is 20.

MaxUsers = 40
MaxTasks = 20

[TLS]

The eloqsd server may be configured to accept TLS-encrypted network connections. JDLG 2.0 can use this to securely communicate over insecure network (wide area Internet) connections. In addition, the HTTPS status can be used.

To use TLS communication, a server certificate is needed for the eloqsd host name. JDLG and web browsers require a certificate which is issued by a known authority. In particular, the associated root certificate must be contained in the Java truststore / web browser cert store.

Using TLS requires that OpenSSL version 0.9.8 or newer is installed.

If the JDLG 2.0 tls application configuration attribute is enabled, network communication between JDLG and the eloqsd server is TLS-encrypted. In addition, if the rdlg protocol is configured, the DLG communication between JDLG and the application is TLS-encrypted as well.

[TLS] Enabled

If nonzero, TLS communication is enabled and the other configuration items in the [TLS] section are read. The default value is 0 (TLS communication disabled).

[TLS] CertChainFile

Absolute path to a file in PEM format containing the server certificate and optionally any additional intermediate certificates which represent the verification chain up to the root certificate. The certificates in this file must be sorted in the verification order, starting with the server certificate.

The file may in addition contain the private key associated with the server certificate, in which case the CertKeyFile configuration below can be omitted.

[TLS] CertKeyFile

Absolute path to a file in PEM format containing the private key associated with the server certificate. If this key is contained in the CertChainFile above, configuring CertKeyFile is not necessary.

[TLS] RequiredFrom
[TLS] OptionalFrom

RequiredFrom is used to configure client network addresses which are required to use secure TLS communication. Note: This does not affect the HTTPS status.

If RequiredFrom is configured, OptionalFrom may be used to configure exceptions for client addresses within the RequiredFrom address range(s) which are not required to use secure TLS communication.

For example:

RequiredFrom = All
OptionalFrom = [::1]
OptionalFrom = 127.0.0.1
OptionalFrom = 192.168.1.0/24

RequiredFrom / OptionalFrom argument syntax:

{ All | hostname | ip-address [/{addrbits|netmask}] }

• Multiple RequiredFrom / OptionalFrom entries are recognized and combined.

• hostname is the name of a host or network that is resolved into one or more ip addresses.

• ip-address is either an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
  • An IPv6 address, enclosed in square brackets, such as [::1]. The addrbits option may be used to specify the number of relevant bits in the IP address.

  • An IPv4 address, such as 127.0.0.1. The addrbits option may be used to specify the number of relevant bits in the IP address. The netmask option allows to specify an IPv4 network mask, such as 255.255.255.0.
