Setting security for server connections

You can set a default user ID and password on a server connection.

You can issue the following commands when the Client daemon is running:

To set a user ID and password to use when accessing server servername, enter:

        cicscli -c=servername -u=userid -p=password

To specify security parameters when you start a connection to a server, enter:

        cicscli -s=servername -u=userid -p=password

-c=servername: identifies the name of the server to which security information in the form of a user ID and password is to be associated.
-u=userid: sets the default user ID to be used when accessing the server specified by the -c or -s option. Specifying -u or -u= (that is, no user ID is specified) resets the associated user ID to a null value.
-p=password: sets the default password to be used when accessing the server specified by the -c or -s option. Specifying -p or -p= (that is, no password is specified) resets the associated password to a null value.

For ECI applications, any user ID and password specified in the ECI parameter block override values set by the cicscli command.
