Introduction

This Universal Control (UCTL) Server information is specific to the UNIX operating system.

Environment

The Universal Control Server runs as a background process. It does not interact with a console.

As with all components managed by the Universal Broker, Universal Control Server inherits the message language from the Universal Broker. All messages generated by the Universal Control Server are sent to Universal Broker for processing.

User Identification

Universal Control Server can operate with user security active or inactive, based on the USER_SECURITY configuration option.

With user security active, the Universal Control Server requires the Universal Control Manager to supply a valid user ID for the local system and a password.
With user security inactive, the Universal Control Server does not require the Manager to supply a valid user ID. Essentially, any operation the Control Server is capable can be requested by any Control Manager.
