Creating a user for iucvconn_on_login

You must create users for iucvconn_on_login.

About this task

Each target system to which you want to connect with iucvconn_on_login requires a separate Linux user on the terminal server. The user ID must match the z/VM® user ID of the target system.

Procedure

Create a user with iucvconn_on_login as the login shell. For example, to add a user for accessing a terminal device on lxguest1, enter:
```
[root]# useradd -s /usr/bin/iucvconn_on_login lxguest1
```
Set an initial password for the new user and force the new user to change the password at the initial login.
Example:
```
[root]# passwd lxguest1
...
[root]# chage lxguest1
```

Results

You might be using an external security manager for your z/VM system, for example, Resource Access Control Facility (RACF®). If so, you can set up Linux to use the external security manager for authentication. See Security on z/VM, SG24-7471 for more information.
