Maintaining Logonids with the Full-Screen Feature › Defining a User

Defining a User

You see this screen if you selected option 1, Define New User, from the User Identification (1) screen. Use this screen to define new users to the system. In most cases, you can use a prototype to define users from this single screen. To use this short cut, press EXECUTE (or the PF key that you have defined to execute this screen) after you have filled this screen in completely.

Following is a brief explanation of the fields on this screen.

Logonid

Specifies the logonid of the user.

Name

Specifies the name of the user.

Expiration Date

Specifies the date that this logonid expires. This date must be in the format your site defined in the OPTS VMO record (mm/dd/yy, dd/mm/yy, or yy/mm/dd).

Prototype

Enter the logonid to use as a model for this logonid. This option provides a short cut in creating logonids. Use a logonid that has privileges similar to the one you want to create. When you type a logonid in this field and press Enter, CA ACF2 for VM retrieves the prototype data for you. CA ACF2 for VM never copies the PASSWORD and SECURITY fields.

Phone

Specifies the user's telephone number.

Initial Password

Enter the initial password (up to eight characters).

Initial Password Verify

Enter the required password just as you did in the Initial Password ===> field. CA ACF2 for VM asks you to reenter the password to be sure that no typing error occurred the first time you entered it. If you do not enter the password exactly the same both times, CA ACF2 for VM asks you to enter the password twice again. CA ACF2 for VM never displays either password field for security reasons. If anyone is near your terminal when you enter your password, he cannot see it.

Minimum days between changes

Specifies the number of days (up to 255) that must elapse before you can change your password (MINDAYS).

Maximum days between changes

Specifies the number of days (up to 255) that can elapse before you are forced to change your password (MAXDAYS).

Restrictions Fields

For information about these restrictions, see the “About the Logonid Record” chapter. If you are not authorized to grant any of these restrictions, CA ACF2 for VM protects the fields and you cannot enter data in them.

When you have completed all screens defining the user to the Logonid database, press your EXECUTE PF key to process the information. CA ACF2 for VM displays the following message in line three of the screen when you have successfully added a new user to the Logonid database:

ACFpgm710I LOGONID lid INSERTED

To add user privileges or local information, press PF11 (NEXT) and CA ACF2 for VM displays the next screen.
