PC User ID

The ID that the user will use when signing on to the PC.

IBM i User ID

The ID that will be used by a session on the PC to sign on to the IBM i. It must exist on the IBM i. It is stored encrypted.

IBM i Group ID

The group ID that corresponds to the IBM i User ID above. It will be obtained by LANSA from operating system details entered when the IBM i User ID was recorded. It is stored encrypted.

After pressing Enter, the data will be stored on file. To be usable, it must be exported to the PC using the 8.1.4 Export System Definitions facility.

Note: If the IBM i password is configured to have long passwords, the maximum length is 128 and it is also case sensitive.

Supplemental Group Profiles

Kerberos User (Windows credentials user)

Yes in the Kerberos User column indicates that this IBM i user is set up to use the Single Sign On facility using the Kerboros technology. If not used, it will be blank.

For further information, refer to Single Sign-On (SSO) in the Visual LANSA Administrator Guide.
