Operation Access Controls

This setting directs SQLConnect, SQLBrowseConnect and SQLDriverConnect to

return SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO with one of these warnings:

•

[WARNING 8857] Password to Expire in n days, n hours, n minutes. (If the

password expires in less than two days.)

•

[WARNING 8837] CLI Authorization failure: Error 48 with status 11 was

returned by Safecom. (If the password is expired and in the grace period.)

2. If the application uses SQLDriverConnect with the SQL_DRIVER_PROMPT

attribute, the ODBC/MX driver prompts the user to change the password.

The user has these options:

•

Cancel the password change and proceed with the current session.

•

Change the password by providing the old and new passwords. If an invalid

password is entered, the connection is terminated.

access to run the MXOAS file. Thereafter, a user ID with MXCS OPERATOR

permission can enable and disable the MXCS service and manage MXCS from

NSM/web or MXCI. To perform any operation in MXCS, you must have the correct

access privileges to NonStop SQL catalogs, MXCS catalogs, and individual NonStop

SQL objects. A user ID with OPERATOR permission is the only user ID that can

manage MXCS.

by default.

Permissions can be assigned and changed using NSM/web only by the super ID. All

other users can view permissions but not assign or change them.

There are two permissions:
