Abstract
BtrThere Test tool to verify if Btrieve is loaded on the server and accessible. Two different approaches are shown:
Try to load the Btrieve client requester, and use it to create a Btrieve test file on the server. This approach requires the Btrieve requester (WBTRV32.DLL) to be installed on the calling workstation.
Scan the loaded NLMs on the selected target server and check if BTRIEVE.NLM is loaded. This approach requires console operator or Admin rights on the server object. It will only work on NetWare v4.x or v5.x
The Btrieve interface file is available from Pervasive technologies (http://www.pervasive.com). The NetWare functions were taken from the NetWare Developer Kit (NDK) in it's version as of November 1999.
General information on how to use Delphi with the NetWare SDK can be found in the HOW-TO.DOC file.
To run the application, you should have the NetWare Client32 software installed:
CALWIN32.DLLNETWIN32.DLL
LOCWIN32.DLL
Without Client32, only the Btrieve functions can be accessed.

Abstract
D3NDSRpt is a Delphi 2.x/3.x/4.x application that illustrates the use of Delphi with NetWare APIs. It can be used as a "real life application" because it's purpose is a custom NDS report generator.
Most configuration is done per INI file, so you can adapt it to run custom reports on any NDS object and attribute. D3NDSRpt allows you to export reports into comma/tab spearated files for further processing.
General information on how to use Delphi with the NetWare SDK can be found in the HOW-TO.DOC file.
To run the application, you should have the NetWare Client32 software installed.
|
NetWare SDK used: |
NDK (Jan 99) |
|
Platform: |
Windows Win95/98/WinNT |
|
Compilers: |
Borland Delphi 2.x/3.x/4.x |
Though it was not written for Delphi v1.x (16bit), it could be converted with only minor modifications.
Functions Used: D3NDSRpt demonstrates the following high-level functions:
DoSomethingForEachObject2ReadSelectedProperties
DSFindFirstObject
DSFindNextObject
These in term call the APIs:
NWDSCreateContextHandleNWDSGetContext
NWDSSetContext
NWDSAllocBuf
NWDSInitBuf
NWDSPutAttrName
NWDSRead
NWDSList
NWDSGetObjectCount
NWDSGetObjectName
NWDSGetAttrCount
NWDSGetAttrName
NWDSComputeAttrValSize
NWDSGetAttrVal
NWDSFreeBuf
NWDSFreeContext
Note: Since D3NDSRpt will save current settings into an INI file in, you will need sufficient rights in the path where the EXE is located.

Detailed Description
Question: We are writing some sort of RCONSOLE utility for Win32. So we connect to RSPX in unsigned mode (one of the parameters of RSPX is signatures off). If we are not doing any recv on the client, the closesocket goes well, but if call recv, the NetWare server boots when closing the connection. May be this is both a problem of the Microsoft IPX/SPX implementation and of some NetWare modules.
The strangest thing we encountered is that when the first data packet arrives from NetWare (its size is 520), the ioctlsocket function tells us that we received 520 bytes but if we call recv trying to read 520 bytes, the recv function blocks. If we call recv trying to read n bytes where 0 abnormal because as the documentation states, recv must return the number of bytes received (a positive value), 0 if the connection is closed or SOCKET_ERROR when an error occured.
All these (the strange values returned by recv) happens when we are using a SOCK_SEQPACKET socket. The boot happens in both cases (i.e. when using SOCK_SEQPACKET or SOCK_STREAM).
Using a network monitor, we observed that the end of connection is negotiated correctly, because we receive the end of connection acknowledgement from the NetWare server.
Note that we wrote a year ago an MSDOS version of this utility, that runs well. Now we can not escape from this error in Windows. Despite the WinSock documentation (the SO_LINGER option for setsockopt), abort the connection (without negotiating the end of connection).
Answer: As for the WinSock behavior you describe, this is (almost) normal, although it does suggest a boundary condition problem in the Microsoft WinSock service provider. When operating in SEQPACKET mode, the WinSock API maintains messages boundaries, which basically says that one send() will be received in exactly one recv(). This functionality can be modified with the MSG_PARTIAL bit that lets you bundle multiple sends into a single message, and hence into a single receive. If you look at the WinSock 2 spec, you will see that WSARecv() defines `flags' as an IN/OUT parameter. This allows WSARecv() to return the MSG_PARTIAL bit, which in turn lets you receive a part of a message before the whole thing has arrived.
WinSock 1.1 does not let you return flags on the recv() call, so a different convention was needed. The agreed upon convention is that recv() will flag a partial message receive by returning the recv() data count as a negative number. If you get 520, that tells you that you have received one full message of 520 bytes. If you get -520, that tells you that you have received a 520 byte fragment of a larger message.
In your case, an SPX packet that does not have the end-of-message bit set is received. The end-of-message bit is what SPX uses to differentiate messages. The Ioctl correctly reports that 520 bytes are available. The rule for recv() in SEQPACKET mode is that if
you set the MSG_PARTIAL bit in the flags field, or
you send down a buffer that is smaller than the full message, then the stack will generate a partial-message response.
So, when you recv 0 < n < 520, the stack correctly returns a count of -n, telling you that you have not received the entire message. This should also have worked when you passed down 520 bytes, and the failure you mentioned would be considered a bug.

Abstract
maputil.exe is a tool to update the LDAP_ATTRIBUTE_MAP_V11 and LDAP_CLASS_MAP_V11 attributes of the LDAP Group object.
Detailed Description
maputil.exe is a tool to update the LDAP_ATTRIBUTE_MAP_V11 and LDAP_CLASS_MAP_V11 attributes of the LDAP Group object. In order for LDAP to recognize the custom classes and attributes defined by the external developers, the developer has to update the mappings contained in these attributes in the LDAP group object.
Currently, the only released tool to do this update is through NWAdmin32, so it is very inefficient. This tool will let developer export the values of the attributes to a file and modify the file using a text editor and then import the file to the attribute. This will be very efficient for developers who need to map many custom classes and attributes.

Abstract
Sample code which demonstrates how to use Novell's ActiveX controls NWDir and NWSess in Microsoft's ASP environment.
The code shows how--using this ActiveX controls--various object's attributes and their values can be retrieved from DS.
Detailed Description
Sample code which demonstrates how to use Novell's ActiveX controls NWDir and NWSess in Microsoft's ASP environment. The code shows how using this ActiveX controls various object's attributes and their values can be retrieved from DS. In the first step ASP user must authenticate into DS prior to start any information retrieval from DS tree. To keep code simple and clear, the entry data are hardcoded (userName, password and treeName for login and object's name for attributes/values retrieval).
There is no error handling in case you enter wrong DS object full name. Novell's ActiveX Control files for NWDir and NWSess must be copied into Microsoft's WEB server working directory in order to work properly. Also you need to use Microsoft's Internet Explorer 4.x in order to run this demo because other browsers do not understand Microsoft's ASP extensions and/or VBScript language.
