User ID (USERID)
This attribute specifies the user ID to be used by the MCA when attempting to initiate a secure SNA session with a remote MCA.
You can specify a task user identifier of 20 characters.
It is valid for channel types of sender, server, requester, or client-connection.
This attribute does not apply to WebSphere® MQ for z/OS® except for client-connection channels.
On
the receiving end, if passwords are kept in encrypted format and the
LU 6.2 software is using a different encryption method, an attempt
to start the channel fails with invalid security details. You can
avoid this failure by modifying the receiving SNA configuration to
either:
- Turn off password substitution, or
- Define a security user ID and password.
On
WebSphere MQ for
z/OS,
this attribute is valid only for client connection channels. On other
platforms, it is valid for channel types of:
- Sender
- Server
- Requester
- Client connection
- Cluster sender
