Examples for ADDSVRAUTE

Example 1: Adding a default remote user ID and password for the current user

ADDSVRAUTE USRPRF(*CURRENT)
  SERVER(*ANY)
  USRID('JOHN') PASSWORD('XU53W4')

This command adds a server authentication entry for the currently signed on user specifying that for connection requests to any server for which there is no specific authentication entry, a remote user ID of JOHN and a password of XU53W4 is to be used.

Example 2: Adding an entry for another user for a specific server

ADDSVRAUTE USRPRF('SUSAN')
  SERVER('MPLS_RDB') USRID('SUSIE')
  PASSWORD('S23084')

This command adds an entry such that when a user is signed on to the local system under the user profile of SUSAN and attempts to connect to the server named MPLS_RDB, the user ID and password accompanying the connection request will be SUSIE and S23084.
