Application passwords and minimum channel links

To define password protection for a TPF application program, include the following definition statement in the logon manager configuration definition. You can also use this definition statement to define the number of active channel links required before the application program is supported by the logon manager.


>>-LMAPPL--=--application program name-------------------------->

>--+------------------------+--+----------------------+--------><
   '-,--PASSWD--=--password-'  '-,--MINLINK--=--value-'

application program name: The name of the TPF application program. It must be the name of a real application program.
password: The 1 to 8 character password for the TPF application program. Passwords are optional.
If password protection is required for a TPF application program, the password must be specified on the PASSWD operand on the LMAPPL definition statement and on the PRTCT operand on the VTAM® APPL definition statement. There is no default password.
value: Defines the minimum number of channel links that must be active before the application program can engage in a session. Valid values are int the range 1 – 255. The default is 1. This definition is optional.

If all application programs on the TPF have the same password and the same required number of active channel links, you can use the following definition statement:


>>-LMAPPL--=--ALL--+------------------------+------------------->
                   '-,--PASSWD--=--password-'   

>--+----------------------+------------------------------------><
   '-,--MINLINK--=--value-'
