WASD yet another hyperMAIL
provides direct, on-line Web access to a VMS system's native Mail environment
via a standard browser. For further information see
yahMAIL Usage Guide.
Test environment was OSU v3.6. Installation steps:
in a PMDF environment, to enable MIME uploads COMPILE+LINK:
$ @BUILD_YAHMAIL MIME PMDF BUILD
As discussed in the documentation, private access to user email requires authentication and authorization. The following rule is an example of what is required in HTTP_PATHS.CONF
protect /htbin/yahmail/~* www_system:level2.prot
Note that the syntax is different when using the configuration scripting interface. Something more like the following (with thanks to PB@.it for the feedback)
.ITERATE $xrule $xtemplate $xpath .next protect /htbin/yahmail/~* /www_system/yahmail.prot
Authorization issues are the most common problem experienced with OSU. If you don't get a browser username/password authentication dialog then the server is not configured correctly.
The startup procedure must be executed at system startup or if the software is reinstalled or updated. Ensure this becomes part of the Web environment's startup.
For an OSU installation the files are distributed as follows:
