Subject: Gateways and IOC UAG security: does username to relayed with request?

Hi,

We have an IOC that only permits writes from a subset of users. The IOC implements this security using UAG security and it works as expected for applications running on the IOC's subnet. Applications that are not on that IOC's subnet must access it through a gateway. These off the subnet applications can not make any settings even for users that are in the permitted subset. This has also been verified using cainfo.

Does the username of the user running the application make it through the gateway to the IOC? Our guess is no, because the gateway permissions are wide-open and writes to other IOC's without UAG security work fine. How should this kind of issue be handled? I know there is a -uid command line option but single uid will be correct for all users.

Thanks,
Carl Schumann
