Users

PROPERTIES

List of properties and their definitions.

Account ID: The ID for the user account.
Name: The full name of the person assigned to this account.
Default Group: Specify a default user group for this user.
Where a user verification request does not specify a group, this default group is used.
Allow Logon: Indicates whether this user can logon.
Must Change Password: Forces the user to specify a new password the first time they login.
Description: A description of the user account.
Password: Specifies the new password of the user. Password lengths are restricted to 8 or fewer characters if you are logging into an MSS such as CICS, JES or IMS. The password length is limited to 20 or fewer characters if you are logging into MFDS. If you leave this field blank, the existing password is unchanged.
Note: Multibyte characters, whitespace, some punctuation characters, and control characters may cause problems in passwords. Some external security managers restrict which characters can be used in passwords, and some characters may be altered by ASCII-EBCDIC translation if passwords are entered through 3270 terminal sessions. Micro Focus recommends using letters, numbers, and punctuation characters that are in both ASCII and the default EBCDIC code page.
Confirm Password: Specify the case-sensitive new password of the user. If you enter a value that does not match the value in Password, an error is generated and the existing password is unchanged.

Operator ID

Timeout (mins)

Password Expires

Specifies the password expiration date. The date format depends on the security manager in use. With the MLDAP ESM, you need to use the date format required by the LDAP server. You need to check to determine what this format is.

where 0Z represents the GMT zone. To simplify the selection of an expiry date, click
