Introduction

This Universal Control (UCTL) Server information is specific to the Windows family of operating systems.

Environment

The UCTL Server runs as a background process. It does not interact with a console or desktop.

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

User Identification

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

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