Parameter Description Values
snodeid Specifies security user IDs and security
passwords on the SNODE. The snodeid
subparameters can contain one or more
alphanumeric characters.
If Sterling Connect:Direct finds that a Process
has no snodeid parameter or defines a
snodeid parameter and the initialization
parameter proxy.attempt is set to y, then any
password specified on the snodeid parameter
is ignored. A proxy user record is a remote
user record in the userfile.cfg, which
corresponds to the user name specified on the
snodeid parameter. If no proxy user record
exists, the snodeid parameter must contain a
valid user name and password for a UNIX
user who has a corresponding local user record
in the userfile.cfg file.
When proxy.attempt=n and no snodeid is
defined, Sterling Connect:Direct uses the
submitting ID and node to find a Remote User
Information record in the User Authorization
Information file. If Sterling Connect:Direct
cannot find a match, then that user cannot
send or receive files.
If the initialization parameters file parameter
proxy.attempt is set to y, users are not required
to specify a password for the snodeid
parameter. This capability enables the id
subparameter to contain a dummy user ID to
be used for translation to a local user ID on
the remote system. The use of a dummy user
ID offers improved security because neither the
sender nor the receiver are required to use an
actual user ID.
Reserved keywords cannot be used in the
snodeid field.
id [,pswd [,newpswd]]
id—Specifies a user ID on the SNODE.
pswd—Specifies a user password on the SNODE.
If you specify id, you do not have to specify
pswd. This capability enables the id parameter to
contain a dummy ID to be used for translation to
a local ID on the remote system.
newpswd—Specifies a new password value. On
certain platforms, the user password changes to
the new value on the SNODE if the user ID and
old password are correct (refer to documentation
on the specific platform). If the SNODE is a UNIX
node, the password does not change.
If you specify pswd, you must also specify id. If
you specify newpswd, you must also specify
pswd. Type the values in the order of id, pswd,
and newpswd.
