JANUS DEFINE

<section begin="desc" />Define and set characteristics of a Janus port<section end="desc" />

Overview

The JANUS DEFINE command is used to specify the characteristics of a Janus port. It defines the usage of the named port as one of the following:

• Access by IFDIAL clients
• Open Server or Open Client connections
• Specialty Data Store access
• Web access
• FTP server connections
• Telnet server connections
• Generic Sockets usage — with the Model 204 online either requesting (CLSOCK) or accepting (SRVSOCK) the connection
• Connection between the Janus Debugger or Sirius Debugger workstation GUI and programs being debugged in Model 204

For any except a CLSOCK or DEBUGGERCLIENT port, this subcommand associates a service with a TCP/IP port number.

Among the characteristics specified by JANUS DEFINE is whether the port will use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for encrypted communications.

See "JANUS DEFINE and JANUS DEFINEREMOTE subcommands" for a discussion of when you need to issue the JANUS DEFINE command.

The JANUS DEFINE command syntax is described below.

Syntax

<section begin="syntax" /> JANUS DEFINE portname portnum type maxcon other_parms... <section end="syntax" />

Where each of the first four parameters is positional and required:

portname	A 1- to 30-character name by which the port is identified. It is used on other JANUS subcommands, such as JANUS START and JANUS DISPLAY. It is used on the $Sock_Conn function or the Socket object New constructor to name the CLSOCK port defining a connection.
portnum	The TCP/IP port number at which the service is available. portnum is the server port number, and it must be between 1 and 65535, inclusive. This number is used by client applications on the network when they require access to the Model 204 server. The server port number must be unique on the host. Several "well-known" port numbers for various TCP/IP services (for example, 53 for nameserver) should be avoided, unless you are implementing that service using Janus Sockets. For CLSOCK and DEBUGGERCLIENT ports, an asterisk (*) is used as the port number, since they are used to create, rather than accept, connections, and these port numbers are not determined until the time of the connection. For WEBSERV ports, 80 is customary for non-secure HTTP and 443 for secure HTTP (SSL); you can, however, use other numbers for WEBSERV ports if required. For FTPSERVER ports, 21 is customary; you can, however, use other numbers for FTPSERVER ports if required.
type	Port type. Valid types are: CLSOCK A Janus Sockets client socket port. If non-system administrator users are to use a CLSOCK port, rules must be provided to allow them to initiate outgoing connections on the port. DEBUGGERCLIENT A Sirius Debugger client socket port. DEBUGGERSERVER A Janus Debugger or Sirius Debugger server socket port. FTPSERVER A Janus FTP Server application. IFDIAL Janus IFDIAL Library applications. OAS Synonym for type SDS. OMNI Synonym for type SDS. OPENSERV Janus Open Server applications; Janus Open Client connections are outward-bound connections on an OPENSERV port. SRVSOCK A Janus Sockets server socket port. SDS A Janus Specialty Data Store port. TNSERV A Janus Telnet Server port. Only available in Sirius Mods Version 6.9 and later. WEBSERV A World Wide Web Server port. For Janus Open Client usage, you must define one or more ports of type SDS or OPENSERV, and you may need to use the MASTER parameter on a port definition. For JANUS server ports, specify SRVSOCK; for JANUS client ports, specify CLSOCK; for JANUS FTP server ports, specify FTPSERVER; for JANUS telnet server ports, specify TNSERV. TNSERV ports require that the system TNDEV parameter be set to indicate the IODEV that daemon threads switch to while in full-screen mode for a telnet connection.
maxcon	Maximum number of simultaneous active connections to be allowed on the port. This number must be less than or equal to the number of TCP/IP connections for which the site is licensed. Before Sirius Mods Version 6.8, the maxcon value had to be less than or equal to the number of sdaemons defined to the online, except for non-CLSOCK ports. If you are defining multiple ports for your site, however, the sum of the maxcon connections you define is allowed to be greater than the number for which the site is licensed. In this case, Janus Web Server will automatically prevent any connection that would exceed the site license limit. For Janus Open Client, note that a server-to-server connection requires an extra connection for the site handler. Thus, a single connection to a remote server would use two connections, while 10 connections to a remote server would use 11. Under Sirius Mods Version 6.8 and later, restrictions on the allowed values for maxcon are no longer present, but licensed thread limits are still enforced at the time a connection is made. You can use the JANUS TSTATUS command to view the thread usage and connection limits for your port, and you can use the JANUS LIMITS command to view similar information for your Online.
other_parms	A set of blank-delimited parameters that describe the characteristics of and processing to be performed on the port. These parameters are keywords, sometimes followed by values, and they are described individually in the subsections that follow. They are all optional, except: for OPENSERV ports, CMD is required For CLSOCK or DEBUGGERCLIENT ports, REMOTE is required For SRVSOCK ports, CMD is required For FTPSERVER ports, OPEN, CMD, NEWSESOPEN, and NEWSESCMD are not allowed

Examples

The parameters you might use on a port definition vary by port type (that is, communication protocol), the security requirements of your shop and application, performance considerations and the applications that will run inside the Model 204 Online as a client or a service on this port.

There is no such thing as a "typical" port — each one is customized to the service or services running over the port.

JANUS DEFINE JANWEB 80 WEBSERV 50 WEBUSER WEBUSER TRACE 0 UPCASE - OBSIZE 10240 IBSIZE 10240 RBSIZE 10240 TIMEOUT 600 - OPEN FILE JANWEB MAXTEMP 14000 BINDADDR 198.242.244.47 - LOG REQ WEBLOGJW LOGCLOSET 57 NOAUDTERM COMPRESS 2 KEEPALIVE 30

In the above example, a Janus Web Server port is defined, named JANWEB. It runs at port 80 (the default web port) and allows 50 simultaneous connections. Buffer sizes are increases over the default settings and a variety of logging, compressions and other settings are specified.

JANUS DEFINE SOAP * CLSOCK 5 TIMEOUT 240 REMOTE * * MASTER

In the above example, a client socket "master" port called SOAP is defined, permitting 5 simultaneous outgoing connections to any remote hosts.
