Retrieving IP of client connected to Cloverleaf "Server

[Bob Schmid]

Is there a way within a stack or within a pdl to retrieve the ip of who is connected to my port…..im configured as a server running mlp_tcp.pdl

Use Multi_Server.  There are many ways to get the IP, via Meta Data, Global, etc.

Robert,

I think that the IP address you get is AFTER connection has occurred (and possibly even after a message has been delivered).

If your intent is to control access – this is probably not the way to do it.

If you just want to be able to indicate who you received a message from, etc. than this will work fine.

There is nothing that says the message must be processed after seeing who sent it

multi-server….Yep 8) …I was fooling around with it yesterday…had some connection issues using pdl……but will go back and take another swing…..had some problems getting DRIVERTCTL CLIENTIP (Did not exist) …  😕

…..running 5.6 rev2  Thansk guys! (Jim and Chuck)

Charlie,

What is the global available?

[Charlie Bursell]

The global is client_list

There is also a file created in the process directory:  .cli

[Bob Schmid]

the cli file IS there…so I’m good.

Thanks !

Jim…..thanks for your input….having received the message is a consideration…..

I AM having problems getting a connection when mlp_tcp.pdl is used…..I can get one on native tcp but not with the pdl….. 😕

Robert,

What release of Cloverleaf(R)?

Do you mean you are having an issue actually getting a connection or identifying who is connected?

Getting a connection. “Works” with tcp (connection established/status shows # connections etc..)

but not with PDL…..no indication that the engine even knows that I have specified multi-server ????  looking at eo etc…..
