Description

CA VM:Secure requires the NEWUSER user exit for the VMXGNR database generation utility. VMXGNR calls the NEWUSER user exit when processing the input file (usually the USER DIRECT) to assign user ID to a CA VM:Secure directory manager.

The following CA VM:Secure commands (macros) call the NEWUSER user exit: ADDENTRY, ASSIGN, CHANGE, MAINT MANAGE, MANAGE, and MULTIPLE. These commands call the NEWUSER user exit to validate the user ID being created, but ignore the manager user ID that is stacked by the NEWUSER user exit.

If you specify the MANAGER option on the ADDENTRY command line, the user ID specified after the MANAGER option will be used, assuming it is a valid CA VM:Secure manager user ID and the return code from NEWUSER user exit is zero.
