Security and Auditing Environment Variables

These environment variables relate to configuring the security and auditing environment.

ES_CESN_NO_OS390

Overrides the default behavior CESN transaction and the IMS sign-on screen response for invalid user credentials. Default behavior reports "Your userid is invalid" or "Your password is invalid".

Syntax

UNIX:
ES_CESN_NO_OS390=value
export CESN_NO_OS390

Windows:
SET CESN_NO_OS390=value

Values

ES_DISABLE_DFLTUSR_SIGNON=value
export ES_DISABLE_DFLTUSR_SIGNON

Windows:
ES_DISABLE_DFLTUSR_SIGNON=value

Values

• Y or y Having logged on to ES administration via your MFDS internal security account, you no longer receive the auto logon as "mfuser" when accessing ESMAC.

Default

If this is not set, mfuser will be used as the default user to sign in to ESMAC.

Note: Micro Focus recommends that you use the Advanced Region Properties page in the Enterprise Server Common Web Administration (ESCWA) interface to configure this environment variable. See Advanced Region Properties for more information.
