Remote User Data (ttaad2501m000)

Use this session to maintain or display the remote users.

A remote user file is required if the user must work with distributed application servers: 1 master application server, 1 or more application servers. A remote user file is used to make the connection to the remote system for a specific user.

For example, the user starts Tools from an application server with the master application server located at another system. To make this possible, the remote user file must be created on the application server.

To create the remote user file in Tools, select Convert Changes to Runtime DD on the appropriate menu.

Note: If you have started this session by zooming, you can only find and select a record.

Example

User john wants to use the login of user peter on the remote system B. You can use this session to create a remote user file rjohn on system A. On the remote system B there must be a user file ujohn in, $BSE/lib/user, with the entry: unixuser:peter.

Note: This method is not advisable for security reasons.

Infor LN Authorization of Remote User

If this check box is selected, the user will use the authorizations for Tools defined for the remote user.
