EIM association
The EIM association specifies whether an Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) association should be added to an EIM identifier for this user. Optionally, the EIM identifier can also be created if it does not already exist.
- Add User prompt:
- Not shown
- CL parameter:
- EIMASSOC
- The EIM association information is not stored in the user profile. This information is not saved or restored with the user profile.
- If this system is not configured for EIM, then no processing is done. Not being able to perform EIM operations does not cause the command to fail.
Single values | |
---|---|
*NOCHG | EIM association will not be added. |
Element 1: EIM identifier
Specifies the EIM identifier for this association. |

---|---|
*USRPRF | The name of the EIM identifier is the same name as the user profile. |
character-value | Specifies the name of the EIM identifier. |
Element 2: Association type Specifies the type of association. It is recommended that a target association is added for an IBM® i user. Target associations are primarily used to secure existing data. They are found as the result of a mapping lookup operation (for example, eimGetTargetFromSource()), but cannot be used as the source identity for a mapping lookup operation. Source associations are primarily used for authentication purposes. They can be used as the source identity of a mapping lookup operation, but will not be found as the target of a mapping lookup operation. Administrative associations are used to show that an identity is associated with an EIM identifier, but cannot be used as the source for, and will not be found as the target of, a mapping lookup operation. |
