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.
