User Profile Statement Parameters

The user profile statement parameters are defined to the SYSIN DD statement.

See the following table for the valid parameters.
Parameter Description
TYPE Defines the type of action you want to perform with the user profile.

The valid values are ADD, CREATE,DELETE, LIST, or REPLACE.

REMOTE_USER Defines the user ID on the remote system.
The valid values are:
  • *ALLUSER: an administrator can specify a default user ID for all requests from users that are not specifically defined on the system. An administrator can define specific user ID/passwords for a node for users with high security authorization, while set a default user ID/password to be used for all other users with less security authorization defined.
    Note: This option is only used by responder profiles.
  • userid: the ID must be specified in the format of domain\user ID or domain/user ID.
REMOTE_PASSWORD Defines the password on remote system for an initiator request, or the password used on the local system for a responder request.

If this parameter is not defined, no password checking is performed on incoming requests. When responder profiles are defined, you can specify a value of *VER for this parameter to indicate a trusted user on the remote system.

NODE Defines the node name of the remote system.
The valid values are nodename or *ALLNODE.
Note: *ALLNODE indicates that you can specify the same user ID/password combination for all node definitions. If a user knows that the user ID/password combinations are the same on all systems, the user can use a single user profile definition to define a single user ID/password that can be used for all file transfer requests for that user ID.
IPADDR Defines the IP address of the remote system in dotted decimal notation.
IPNAME Defines the IP name of the remote system.
LIST Defines the list name of the remote system.
RESPONDER Defines whether a request requires a responder profile.

The default value is YES.

LOCAL_PASSWORD (LPASS | LOCAL_PASS) Defines the password for a user ID on the local system.
This parameter is used only when:
  • RESPONDER=YES is defined for the profile.
  • The LUSER or LOCAL_USER parameter is defined.
  • The user defined by the LUSER parameter is different than the user initiating the request.
  • The GLOBAL RESPONDER_PROFILE_LPASS parameter is set to YES.
Note: Only the platform server administrator can use this parameter.
LOCAL_USER Defines the user ID on local system.
The valid values are:
  • *ALLUSER: an administrator can specify a default user ID for all users that are not specifically defined on the system. An administrator can define specific user ID/passwords for a node for users with high security authorization, while set a default user ID/password to be used for all other users with less security authorization defined.
    Note: This option is only used by the initiator profiles.
  • userid: a user ID on the local system.
Note: Only the platform server administrator can use this parameter.
A user is determined to be a platform server administrator only one of the following condition is met:
  • BOSSID=ANY.
  • The user has CONTROL authorization for the facility defined in the BOSSID GLOBAL parameter.
