Parameters › Security Parameters › AUTHSTRING Parameter

AUTHSTRING Parameter

This parameter allows testing of the CA OPS/MVS security user exit.

Typically, CA OPS/MVS loads the OPUSEX module in CSA. Specifying a user ID allows a particular user ID to load the security exit from a steplib or joblib for testing purposes. To permit this, you set the AUTHSTRING parameter to the literal TRIAL plus the user ID to be used. The resulting parameter value is TRIALuserid.

Default value

NONE

Other possible values

TRIALuserid

userid is the user ID that will load the security exit. You must specify both the literal TRIAL, and the userid.
