NOF API Verbs (ACTIVATE_SESSION to OPEN_FILE)
DEFINE_USERID_PASSWORD
Chapter 3 403
Add a new user, or change the
password for an existing user.
AP_ADD_PROFILES
Add to the profiles for an existing
user.
user_id
User identifier. This is a 10-byte type-AE EBCDIC
character string, padded on the right with EBCDIC
spaces.
Some CPI-C implementations have a maximum user
ID length of 8 characters. If you specify a user ID of 9
or 10 characters, CPI-C applications running on other
systems may not be able to access applications on the
SNAplus2 system using this user ID and password.
password_chars.description
A null-terminated text string (0-31 characters followed
by a null character) describing the user ID and
password. This string is for information only; it is
stored in the node's configuration file and returned on
the QUERY_USERID_PASSWORD verb, but
SNAplus2 does not make any other use of it.
password_chars.profile_count
Number of profiles. This parameter is normally set to
zero; see password_chars.profiles below for more
information.
password_chars.password
User's password. This is a 10-byte type-AE EBCDIC
character string, padded on the right with EBCDIC
spaces.
Some CPI-C implementations have a maximum
password length of 8 characters. If you specify a
password of 9 or 10 characters, CPI-C applications
running on other systems may not be able to access
applications on the SNAplus2 system using this user
ID and password.
