Using Initiator User Profile Facility

Using the Platform Server user profile facility requires only two steps.

Procedure
1. Define a remote user ID/password combination for a particular node.
   For more information, see Managing User Profiles.
2. In the Platform Server batch interface, specify the remote user ID as *PROFILE using the following command.

   REMOTE_USER=*PROFILE

   Optionally, in the Platform Server ISPF panels, specify the remote user ID as *PROFILE.
   When the Platform Server started task detects a remote user ID defined as *PROFILE, it scans the user profile dataspace for a match on the following information:

   • Local user ID of the user that submitted the transfer request
   • Node name, IP address, IP name, or list name

   If a match is found, the Platform Server substitutes the user ID/password defined in the user profile for the user ID/password defined in file transfer queue record.

   If no match is found, the Platform Server terminates the queue record with a return code, and a message is returned to you that submitted the file transfer request.

   Note: *PROFILE is the default profile for the REXX interface when the REMOTE_USER (RUSER) parameter is not defined.
