WebAdmin Help

Finger Agent

The Finger Agent lets a finger client anywhere find out information about friends and colleagues by retrieving information from user profiles. Given an email address, the Finger Agent returns the user's full name and any other information the user has chosen to supply. Given a first or last name, the Finger Agent also returns the login names of users whose first or last names match.

WebMail users can specify a message or other information they want returned when another user fingers their email address.

Status
By default, the agent is enabled. Select Disabled > click Apply to disable the current agent. As long as its status is Disabled, it will not restart if you restart the rest of the NIMS system.

When you use WebAdmin to disable an agent, WebAdmin does not actually stop the agent. To immediately stop the agent, you must unload its NLM program on a NetWare server or kill its process on a Solaris or Linux server.
