define_type

Specifies how this command is to be used. Possible values are:

ADD_USER

Add a new user, or change the password for an existing user.

ADD_PROFILES

Add profiles to an existing user id/password record.

user_id

User identifier. This name is a type-AE character string. Some CPI-C implementations have a maximum user ID length of eight characters. If you specify a user ID of nine or ten 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.

description

A text string describing the user ID and password. SNAplus2 uses this string for information only. It is stored in the node’s configuration file and returned on the query_userid_password command.

password

User’s password. This password is a type-AE character string. Some CPI-C implementations have a maximum password length of eight characters. If you specify a password of nine or ten 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.

When you type in this parameter on the command line, the value you type in is immediately replaced by the encrypted version of the password. Therefore, the value you supply for the password parameter is never displayed on the command line.

profile

Profile associated with user. Each profile is a type-AE character string.

If a remote TP uses the user ID and password specified for this command when attaching to the local TP, the profile specified on the Attach (if any) must match one of the profile names defined for this command. Consult the System Administrator running the remote TP to determine if profiles are used. For each profile
