Direct Known Subclasses:

SecureAS400

public class AS400
extends Object
implements Serializable

Represents the authentication information and a set of connections to the IBM i host servers.

If running on IBM i or an older version of that operating system, the system name, user ID, and password do not need to be supplied. These values default to the local system. For the system name, the keyword localhost can be used to specify the local system. For the user ID and password, *CURRENT can be used.

If running on another operating system, the system name, user ID, and password need to be supplied. If not supplied, the first open request associated with this object will prompt the workstation user. Subsequent opens associated with the same object will not prompt the workstation user. Keywords localhost and *CURRENT will not work when running on another operating system.

For example:

    AS400 system = new AS400();
    system.connectService(AS400.DATAQUEUE);   // This causes a password prompt.
    ...
    system.connectService(AS400.FILE);        // This does not cause a prompt.

Authenticates the user profile name and user profile password.

This method is functionally equivalent to the validateSignon() method. It does not alter the user profile assigned to this object, impact the status of existing connections, or otherwise impact the user and authorities on which the application is running.

The system name needs to be set prior to calling this method.

Note: Providing an incorrect password increments the number of failed sign-on attempts for the user profile, and can result in the profile being disabled.

Note: This will return true if the information is successfully validated. An unsuccessful validation will cause an exception to be thrown, false is never returned.

Parameters:

If the user profile has insufficient authority to call CHGSYSLIBL, an error entry will appear in the job log, and the Toolbox will disregard the error and proceed normally.

Note: This property may also be set by specifying 'true' or 'false' in Java system property com.ibm.as400.access.AS400.mustAddLanguageLibrary

Parameters:

mustAddLanguageLibrary - true to add language library; false otherwise.

isMustAddLanguageLibrary

public boolean isMustAddLanguageLibrary()

Indicates whether this object will attempt to add the appropriate secondary language library to the library list, when running on the system.

Returns:

true if you have indicated that the secondary language library must be added; false otherwise.

setMustUseSockets

public void setMustUseSockets(boolean mustUseSockets)

Sets this object to using sockets. When your Java program runs on the system, some Toolbox classes access data via a call to an API instead of making a socket call to the system. There are minor differences in the behavior of the classes when they use API calls instead of socket calls. If your program is affected by these differences you can force the Toolbox classes to use socket calls instead of API calls by using this method. The default is false. The must use sockets property cannot be changed once a connection to the system has been established.

Note: This property may also be set by specifying 'true' or 'false' in Java system property com.ibm.as400.access.AS400.mustUseSockets

Parameters:

mustUseSockets - true to use sockets; false otherwise.

isMustUseNetSockets

public boolean isMustUseNetSockets()

Indicates if Internet domain sockets only will be used.

Returns:

true if must use Internet domain sockets only; false otherwise.

setMustUseNetSockets

public void setMustUseNetSockets(boolean mustUseNetSockets)

Sets this object to using Internet domain sockets only. When your Java program runs on the system, some Toolbox classes create UNIX domain socket connections. Using this method forces the Toolbox to only use Internet domain sockets. The default is false. The must use net sockets property cannot be changed once a connection to the system has been established.

Note: This property may also be set by specifying 'true' or 'false' in Java system property com.ibm.as400.access.AS400.mustUseNetSockets

Parameters:

mustUseNetSockets - true to use Internet domain sockets only; false otherwise.

isMustUseSuppliedProfile

public boolean isMustUseSuppliedProfile()

Indicates if only a supplied profile will be used.

Returns:

true if must use a supplied profile only; false otherwise.

setMustUseSuppliedProfile

public void setMustUseSuppliedProfile(boolean mustUseSuppliedProfile)

Sets this object to using a supplied profile only. When your Java program runs on the system, the information from the currently signed-on user profile can be used. Using this method prevents the Toolbox from retrieving the current user profile information. The default is false. The must use supplied profile property cannot be changed once a connection to the system has been established.

Note: This property may also be set by specifying 'true' or 'false' in Java system property com.ibm.as400.access.AS400.mustUseSuppliedProfile

Parameters:

mustUseSuppliedProfile - true to use a supplied profile only; false otherwise.

setPassword

public void setPassword(String password)

Sets the password for this object. Only one authentication means (Kerberos ticket, profile token, identity token, or password) can be used at a single time. Using this method will clear any previously set authentication information.

Parameters:

password - The user profile password.

setPasswordExpirationWarningDays

public static void setPasswordExpirationWarningDays(int days)

Sets the number of days before password expiration to warn the user.

Parameters:

days - The number of days before expiration to start the warning. Set to -1 to turn off warning.

setProfileToken

public void setProfileToken(ProfileTokenCredential profileToken)

Sets or resets the profile token for this object. Using this method will clear any previously set authentication information.

Parameters:

profileToken - The profile token.

setProxyServer

public void setProxyServer(String proxyServer)
                    throws PropertyVetoException

Sets the name and port of the middle-tier machine where the proxy server is running. If this is not set, then the name is retrieved from the com.ibm.as400.access.AS400.proxyServer system property. The ProxyServer must be running on the middle-tier machine.

The name of the middle-tier machine is ignored in a two-tier environment. If no middle-tier machine is specified, then it is assumed that no middle-tier will be accessed. The name of the middle-tier machine cannot be changed once a connection to this machine has been established.

Parameters:

proxyServer - The name and port of the proxy server in the format serverName[:port]. If no port is specified, a default will be used.

Throws:

PropertyVetoException - If any of the registered listeners vetos the property change.

setServicePort

public void setServicePort(int service,
                           int port)

Sets the service port in the service port table for the specified service for this system name.

Parameters:

service - The name of the service. Valid services are:

• FILE - IFS file classes.
• PRINT - print classes.
• COMMAND - command and program call classes.
• DATAQUEUE - data queue classes.
• DATABASE - JDBC classes.
• RECORDACCESS - record level access classes.
• CENTRAL - licence management classes.
• SIGNON - sign-on classes.

port - The port to use for this service. The value USE_PORT_MAPPER can be used to specify that the next connection to this service should ask the port mapper server for the port number.

setServicePortsToDefault

public void setServicePortsToDefault()

Sets the ports in the service port table for all the services for this system name to their default values. This causes the connections to this system name to use the default ports for those services rather than querying the port number through a port mapper connection. The use of this method can reduce the number of connections made to the system.

setShowCheckboxes

public void setShowCheckboxes(boolean showCheckboxes)

Indicates if checkboxes should be shown on the sign-on dialog.

Parameters:

showCheckboxes - true to show checkboxes; false otherwise.

setSignonHandler

public void setSignonHandler(SignonHandler handler)

Sets the sign-on handler for this AS400 object. The specified handler will be called at runtime if the AS400 object needs to obtain additional signon information.
By default, an internal AWT-based implementation is used, if no sign-on handler has been statically set via setDefaultSignonHandler().

Parameters:

handler - The sign-on handler. Specifying null will reset the default sign-on handler to the internal AWT-based handler.

See Also:

getSignonHandler(), setDefaultSignonHandler(com.ibm.as400.access.SignonHandler)

setSocketProperties

public void setSocketProperties(SocketProperties socketProperties)

Sets the socket options the IBM Toolbox for Java will set on its client side sockets. The socket properties cannot be changed once a connection to the system has been established.

setThreadUsed

public void setThreadUsed(boolean useThreads)
                   throws PropertyVetoException

Sets whether the IBM Toolbox for Java uses threads in communication with the host servers. The default is true. Letting the IBM Toolbox for Java use threads may be beneficial to performance, turning threads off may be necessary if your application needs to be compliant with the Enterprise Java Beans specification. The thread used property cannot be changed once a connection to the system has been established.

Note: This property may also be set by specifying 'true' or 'false' in Java system property com.ibm.as400.access.AS400.threadUsed

Parameters:

useThreads - true to use threads; false otherwise.

Throws:

PropertyVetoException - If any of the registered listeners vetos the property change.

setUseDefaultUser

public void setUseDefaultUser(boolean useDefaultUser)
                       throws PropertyVetoException

Sets the indicator for whether the default user is used. The default user is used if a system name is provided, but a user ID is not. If a default user is set for that system, then the default user is used.

Parameters:

useDefaultUser - The value indicating if the default user should be used. Set to true if default user should be used; false otherwise. The default is true, indicating that the default user is used.

Throws:

PropertyVetoException - If any of the registered listeners vetos the property change.

setUsePasswordCache

public void setUsePasswordCache(boolean usePasswordCache)
                         throws PropertyVetoException

Unless the application is running in its own private JVM, users are advised to turn off password caching, in order to ensure that another application within the same JVM cannot create a connection using the cached password.

Parameters:

usePasswordCache - The value indicating whether the password cache should be used. Set to true to use the password cache; false otherwise.

Throws:

PropertyVetoException - If any of the registered listeners vetos the property change.

setUserId

public void setUserId(String userId)
               throws PropertyVetoException

Sets the user ID for this object. The user ID cannot be changed once a connection to the system has been established. If this method is used in conjunction with a Kerberos ticket, profile token, or identity token, the user profile associated with the authentication token must match this user ID.

Parameters:

userId - The user profile name.

Throws:

PropertyVetoException - If any of the registered listeners vetos the property change.
