Managing SNAplus2 Clients

Managing Win16 Clients

[Configuration]

The [Configuration] section of the file contains configuration information for the client, as follows:

domain

The domain_name argument indicates the domain name of the SNAplus2 LAN, as specified during the client installation. This line is required.

snauser

The user_name argument indicates the user name of the SNAplus2 user on this client. This name was specified during the client installation. It must match the SNAplus2 configuration and the HP-UX configuration on servers, as follows:

•If the SNAplus2 system is set up to validate user names for Win16 clients (as described in “Win16 Client Security”), this name must be defined as a system user name on all servers listed in the parameters Server1–Server10as described in “[Servers]” (or on all servers that can respond to UDP broadcasts, if the client uses this method to locate a server).

•If the client will be running 3270 or 5250 emulation, and you want to configure the user explicitly instead of using the default emulator user configuration, this name must be defined as an emulator user name in the SNAplus2 configuration, using the define_emulator_user command. For more information, see “Configuring 3270 Emulator Users” or “Configuring 5250 Emulator Users”.

•If neither of the preceding conditions applies, this line of the file is optional. If this argument is not specified, 3270 or 5250 users on the client can use either a record defined for a group of users (see the snagroup parameter) or the <DEFAULT> user record, if any, in the domain configuration file.
