Arsusec DLL

The arsusec DLL is called when a user attempts to log on to Content Manager OnDemand, or an attempt is made to add, change, or delete a password, and the security exit is enabled through a flag setting in the ars.ini file. The arsusec DLL must reside in the exits directory and must have the APF extended attribute turned on. The exits directory can be specified by setting the ARS_USER_EXITS_DIR parameter in the ars.cfg file. By default, the path to the exits directory is /usr/lpp/ars/V10R5M0/bin/exits.

The arsusec DLL must have an exported entry point of SECURITY or SECURITC. A sample to compile and link the ARSUSECC is provided in ARSUSEJJ in the SARSINST data set.

The following statement must exist in the ARS.INI file in order for the arsusec DLL to be invoked: SRVR_FLAGS_SECURITY_EXIT=1

The arsusec DLL runs in a threaded environment. The exit must be thread-safe.

  • DEFINE(OS390)

  • DLL
  • LONGNAME

  • XPLINK
When compiling the ARSUSECC COBOL sample, the following compiler options must be specified:
