NOF API Verbs
QUERY_USERID_PASSWORD
user_id
User ID. This is a 10-byte type-AE EBCDIC string, padded on the right with spaces if the name is shorter
than 10 characters. The user ID is ignored if
list_options is set to AP_FIRST_IN_LIST.
3.169.3 Returned Parameters: Successful Execution
If the verb executes successfully, SNAplus2 returns the following parameters:
primary_rc
AP_OK
buf_size
Length of the information returned in the supplied buffer.
total_buf_size
Returned value indicating the size of buffer that would have been required to return all the list information
requested. A value greater than buf_size indicates that not all the available entries were returned.
num_entries
Number of entries returned in the data buffer.
total_num_entries
Total number of entries available. A value greater than num_entries indicates that not all the available entries
were returned.
Each entry in the data buffer consists of the following parameters:
userid_info.overlay_size
The size of the returned
userid_info structure, and therefore the offset to the start of the next entry in the data
buffer.
When your application needs to go through the returned buffer to find each
userid_info
structure in turn, it must
use this value to move to the correct offset for the next data structure, and must not use the C sizeof()
operator. This is because the size of the returned overlay may increase in future releases of SNAplus2; using
the returned overlay size ensures that your application will continue to work with future releases.
userid_info.user_id
User identifier. This is a 10-byte type-AE EBCDIC character string, padded on the right with EBCDIC spaces.
userid_info.password_chars.description
A null-terminated text string describing the user ID and password, as specified in the definition of the user
ID and password.
userid_info.password_chars.profile_count
Number of profiles defined for this user.
userid_info.password_chars.password
An encrypted version of the user’s password supplied on a DEFINE_USERID_PASSWORD verb. This is a
10-byte type-AE EBCDIC character string, padded on the right with EBCDIC spaces.
userid_info.password_chars.profiles
Profiles associated with user. Each of these is a 10-byte type-AE EBCDIC character string, padded on the
right with EBCDIC spaces.
