Using the Master Password Server
4. Determine the OSI address (if any) and the current password of each of the APPLs.
SCF does not report the current password; obtain it from the user if possible.
5. Create an SCF command file containing an ALTER APPL command for each of the
APPLs. Be sure to specify a password and, if it exists, the OSI address for each
APPL. Do not actually change any of the existing attributes, except that if you do
not know the current password for an APPL, you must specify a new password in
the command.
Include an ALTER command for the master user APPL. If that APPL was not yet
defined in your OSI/MHS configuration, you must use an ADD command and
specify the whole set of attributes required for the APPL.
The command file will contain an SCF command like the following for each APPL:
ALTER APPL $ZMHS1.#MSAPPL1,&
USER-PASSWORD FOOBAR, &
APPL-NSAP 02, &
APPL-PSELECTOR 001, &
APPL-SSELECTOR 002, &
APPL-TSELECTOR 003
6. Use your TACL or PATHCOM script to run an MPS process in POPULATE mode.
7. Use the SCF OBEY command to execute the SCF command file you created in step
4. When execution completes, check the EMS event log and the SCF and MPS
output files to verify that no errors occurred.
8. Issue the appropriate TACL or PATHCOM command to stop the MPS process.
Now that the authorization database has been loaded, you will not need to run the
server in POPULATE mode.
Now that you have loaded the authorization database, you can add new APPLs, using the
next procedure, or start up the subsystem for normal operation by following the
procedure entitled “Run and Monitor the MPS.”
Load the Authorization Database: APPLs Not Yet
Defined to OSI/MHS
Use this procedure
•
When your OSI/MHS subsystem does not yet have APPLs assigned to message store
(MS) groups.
•
When you have followed the previous task, “Load the authorization database:
APPLs Already Defined to OSI/MHS,” and you want to add new APPLs to an MS
group defined to use the MPS.
The MPS process, in NORMAL mode, dynamically updates the authorization database
when APPLs are added to, altered, or deleted from the OSI/MHS subsystem. Likewise,
Note. If you had to specify a new password for an APPL, be sure to inform the user of that
APPL.
