LOCAL_USER

Matches the local user name with which the remote user is requesting to execute as on the local host. LOCAL_USER value has the following syntax:

• An asterisk ( * ) matches 0 or more characters and a question mark ( ? ) matches one character. For example, *AB\*M* matches *ABCDM* and *ABM*. *AB?M* matches *ABCM* but not *ABCDM*.
• Control code /c switches off case\-sensitivity and /C switches on case?sensitivity matching. The default is on. For example, */cABC* matches *abc*. */ca/Cbc* matches *Abc* but not *ABC*.
• Pattern matching characters, such as the asterisk and question mark, are included in the text to be matched by prefixing them with a forward slash ( / ) character. For example, *A/\*B* matches *A\*B*. *A//B* matches *A/B*.
• Variable name *$RMTUSER* can be included in the value. The variable name itself is not case sensitive. *$RMTUSER* and *$rmtuser* are the same. The *$RMTUSER* variable value is the user name with which the remote user is executing. It is the same value used in matching the REMOTE\_USER field.

A space character delimits the variable name, or it can be enclosed in parentheses (for example, $(RMTUSER)), in which case it is delimited by the right parenthesis. This is useful if it is immediately followed by text.
 
For example, if the remote user name is TOM, a LOCAL_USER value of $RMTUSER will match if the local user name requested is also TOM. A LOCAL_USER value of $(RMTUSER)01 will match if the local user name requested is TOM01.
 

REQUEST_TYPE

Matches the type of request a Universal Command Manager is requesting. The REQUEST_TYPE value has the following syntax:

• An asterisk ( * ) matches 0 or more characters and a question mark ( ? ) matches one character. For example, AB*M matches ABCDM and ABM. AB?M matches ABCM but not ABCDM.
• The comparison is case insensitive.
• Pattern matching characters, such as the asterisk and question mark, are included in the text to be matched by prefixing them with a forward slash ( / ) character. For example, A/*B matches A*B. A//B matches A/B.

REQUEST_NAME

The REQUEST_NAME field matches the name of a Universal Command Manager is request. The REQUEST_NAME value has the following syntax:

• An asterisk ( * ) matches 0 or more characters and a question mark ( ? ) matches one character. For example, AB*M matches ABCDM and ABM. AB?M matches ABCM but not ABCDM.
• Case sensitivity depends on the REQUEST_TYPE and the operating system on which the Universal Command Server is executing. See the Server's Security section for the operating system in question.
• Control code /c switches off case-sensitivity and /C switches on case?sensitivity matching. The default is on. For example, /cABC matches abc. /ca/Cbc matches Abc but not ABC.
• Control code /s normalizes spaces and /S does not normalize spaces. Space normalization removes preceding and trailing spaces as well as reduce consecutive multiple spaces to a single space. The default is no space normalization. For example, /sa b c matches a b c. /Sa b c matches a b c but not a bc.
• Pattern matching characters, such as the asterisk and question mark, are included in the text to be matched by prefixing them with a forward slash ( / ) character. For example, A/*B matches A*B. A//B matches A/B.
