Check the Clarify Routing Service & Restart

A script for Windows that uses the native WMI interface and Windows Scripting Host to check the routing server and restart it if necessary. This script does not require MKS, and it will run on Windows 2000 and .NET servers by default, and NT 4.0 if the add on for WMI has been installed.The script loops thru installed services, and when it locates the Clarify Routing Service, it checks to see if the service is running. If not, then the script attempts to start the service, otherwise it simply exits.The script should be scheduled to run as a Scheduled Task with a high frequency.It writes entries to the event log when it attempts to start the service and when the service fails to start. http://www.dovetailsoftware.com/download/user_contributed/check_service.zipThanks to Christopher Bennage for sharing this code!

Enforce Password Standards

Customization that allows enforcing of password standards, such as:The password must be 6-8 characters in lengthThe password must contain numbers & alphabetic charactersThe password cannot start or end with a numericThe password cannot contain the login nameThe password cannot match any of the previous 13 passwordsetc.http://www.dovetailsoftware.com/download/connections2001/password.zipgschwartz replied to this with: Gary,Thank you for this post. In reading through the code, it appears that the users' previous passwords will be stored in cleartext in the custom database fields you added to table_user. Am I reading this correctly?I'd like to avoid this, perhaps by using stored procedures or global code subroutines with decryption/encryption algorithms. They would not have to be the same ones clarify uses. Then we can store the encrypted old passwords and compare against the decrypted query results.Any suggestions on where to find algorithms like this? Or alternative implementation suggestions?Thanks…

Automtically Logging Out Inactive Sessions in dtCl

Within the dtClient, it is possible for a user to stay logged in for an indefinite period of time. But when you only have a limited number of licences available this can be undesirable. I have written this code to mimic the Clarify thick client functionality of releasing the license (logging the user out) after an hour of inactivity. When you are using dtClient, the console screen automatically refreshes itself (a default setting of two minutes). It is this code that keeps the users session "alive" on the server even when the user is not actively using the system. The purpose of this code is to detect that only the console screen is refreshing, and to remove the user if this continues for a specified amount of time.The modification to the dtClient code is very minimal. The first thing to…
