Get session in dm_event_sender.ebs without using password

Pritesh

Hi Experts,

I see below in dm_event_sender.ebs. I would like to invoke dmAPIGet but my question is how does following 2 lines work without passing password.

I have written following function and it is not able to get session if I use above 2 lines from existing code. I would like to execute one api from dm_event_sender without explicitly mentioning password in the file.

Function TestJob(docbaseName As String, docbaseUserName As String, docbaseUserPassword As String) 

  Dim SessionID As String 

  Dim result as String 

  Dim status  As Integer 

  Dim userOSName As String

   userOSName = dmAPIGet("get,apisession,apiconfig,r_process_user_name")

sess = dmAPIGet("connect," & docbaseName & "," & userOSName & ",")

If SessionID = "" Then 

  Print "notconenct"

    Print dmAPIGet("getmessage,a") 

    DmExit(-1) 

  Else 

    result = dmAPIGet("apply,c,NULL,DO_METHOD,METHOD,S,PwcSendPRTSNotification,ARGUMENTS,S,-docbase_name rmsprdus -username devadmin -r_object_id 09011cd7806f7c76") 

    Print dmAPIGet("getmessage,a") 

    status = dmAPIExec("disconnect,c") 

  End If 

End Function

Hi,

For those two lines to work you must be logged in as the installation owner (normally dmadmin) in the Content Server machine. An alternative is to use "runas" to run commands as the installation owner.

Documentum supports 1 special authentication scenario:

If the installation owner tries to establish a session from the hostname of the Content Server then no password is required.

So if you login to the Content Server machine as the installation owner you can establish sessions without a password. You can try that with the idql utility; just type enter when asked for the password. That authentication scenario is used by many scripts and method, in the Method Server.
