Parameters Primary
Specifies the first server to be checked. A specific address must be set with the
address parameter, or the None parameter may be used to indicate that the
database or file will not be used.
If the SCS fails to authenticate the user using the primary database or server
(due to network failure, server failure, missing or incorrect username/
password), the secondary database will be checked. If the user is authenticated
at any point, the search process stops and the login is permitted.
If the user cannot be authenticated using the secondary server, the dataserver
with the next precedence level will be checked. If all precedence levels fail to
authenticate the user, the user is prevented from logging in.
Secondary
Sets the secondary server to be checked. A specific address may be set with the
address parameter, or the None parameter may be used to indicate that the
server will not be used.
address

standard numeric format (for example, 193.23.71.49).
None
Clears the current server address.

precedence number must be specified using the prec_num parameter.
