SYSIBM.USERNAMES columns

The SYSIBM.USERNAMES table is used by outbound connection requests that use SNA and TCP/IP protocols.

Begin general-use programming interface information.
TYPE CHAR(1)
Indicates whether the row is used for inbound or outbound translation:
S
The row is used to obtain the outbound system authorization ID for establishing a trusted connection.
I
The row applies to inbound IDs.
O
The row applies to outbound IDs.
The field should contain only I, O, or S. Any other character, including blank, causes the row to be ignored.
AUTHID VARCHAR(128)
An authorization ID that is permitted and perhaps translated. If blank, any authorization ID is permitted with the corresponding LINKNAME, and all authorization IDs are translated in the same way.
LINKNAME CHAR(8)
Identifies the VTAM® or TCP/IP network locations that are associated with this row. A blank value in this column indicates that this name translation rule applies to any TCP/IP or SNA partner.

If you specify a nonblank value for this column, one or both of the following situations must be true:

  • A row exists in table SYSIBM.LUNAMES that has an LUNAME value that matches the LINKNAME value that appears in this column.
  • A row exists in table SYSIBM.IPNAMES that has a LINKNAME value that matches the LINKNAME value that appears in this column.
NEWAUTHID VARCHAR(128)
The translated authorization ID. If blank, no translation occurs.
PASSWORD VARCHAR(255)
A password or password phrase that is sent with an outbound request if passwords or phrases are not encrypted by RACF®. The column is not used if passwords or phrases are encrypted or if the row is for inbound requests. A password or password phrase can be stored as encrypted data by calling the DSNLEUSR stored procedure. To send the encrypted value of the PASSWORD column through a network, you must specify one of the encryption options in the SYSIBM.IPNAMES table.
