Defining a peer user ID association without password synchronization

To see the user ID associations that are already established for your user ID or are pending your approval, see Finding out what user ID associations are defined for you.

To define a peer user ID association without password synchronization, enter the RACLINK command with the DEFINE keyword as follows:

RACLINK DEFINE(target-node.target-userid
     [/target-userid-password]) PEER(NOPWSYNC)

For example, to define a peer user ID association between your user ID JOHN on MVS01 and a co-worker's user ID SMITH on MVS01, enter the following command from your user ID JOHN on MVS01:

RACLINK DEFINE(MVS01.SMITH/password-of-SMITH) PEER(NOPWSYNC)

Because you specified the password of your co-worker's user ID SMITH on MVS01 in the preceding example, the user ID association between the two user IDs is established and approved without requiring the owner of the SMITH user ID on MVS01 to issue a subsequent RACLINK APPROVE command.

If you didn't specify the password for SMITH on MVS01 in the preceding example, the user ID association would be pending until SMITH on MVS01 issued a subsequent RACLINK APPROVE command.
