CONNECT:Direct Security Considerations

When you use any function that requires authorized access to CONNECT:Direct, you must confirm your CONNECT:Direct signon details. This is necessary only once during each session for each CDMGR defined; however, if you use the CLR command to clear your security access, you need to reconfirm your signon details the next time you use one of these functions.

Confirm Your CONNECT:Direct Signon Details

The first time (within a session) you enter a command needing security confirmation, a Signon Details panel appears:

.- CONNECT:Direct Signon Details ---------------------------------------------.
|                                                                             |
|  User ID .................. USER1                                           |
|                                                                             |
|  Password .................                                                 |
|                                                                             |
|  Case Sensitive ........... NO        (Yes/No)                              |
|                                                                             |
|  Press F6 to Confirm or F12 to Cancel                                       |
|                                                                             |

To confirm your signon details

1. Complete the following fields:
   • User ID

     Specifies your user ID.

   • Password

     Specifies your password in the correct case.

   • Case Sensitive

     Specifies whether the password is case sensitive.

2. Press F6 (Confirm).

   You can then continue your processing.

Clear Your CONNECT:Direct Signon Details

After you confirm your CONNECT:Direct signon details for a particular CDMGR resource during a session, you retain your security access to that CDMGR for the duration of the session; however, if you do not want to leave your CONNECT:Direct security access available, you can clear it.

To clear your CONNECT:Direct security access

1. Enter CLR (Clear) next to the CDMGR for which you have confirmed your signon details.

   A message appears, confirming that your signon details have been cleared.

Note: If you clear your security access, you are prompted to confirm your signon details again the next time you want to use a function requiring authorized access to CONNECT:Direct.
