Client Mode Owner Policy and Processing of SSHCOM Commands 
The processing of the CLIENT mode SSHCOM commands has been enhanced in release 89 to support the new 
CLIENTMODEOWNERPOLICY
 values LOGINNAME and BOTH. If the value is set to either LOGINNAME or 
BOTH the following applies: 
•  Entries can be added with alias user names. A user logged on using an alias can only display, add, and 
manipulate entries for that alias. 
•  A guardian user can display, add, and manipulate entries for the Guardian user. 
•  Depending on the rules explained in the section about OBJECTTYPE USER records a group manager can add, 
change or delete client mode records stored under an alias or Guardian name. 
•  A user with full access can add/manipulate all entries unless an OBJECTTYPE USER record says otherwise. 
If parameter CLIENTMODEOWNERPOLICY
 is set to value GUARDIANNAME, then the following applies: 
•  Any attempt to add entries under an alias name will be rejected. Entries will be added under the Guardian name. 
•  A guardian user can display, add, and manipulate entries for the Guardian user. 
•  Depending on the rules explained in the section about OBJECTTYPE USER records a group manager can add, 
change or delete client mode records stored under a Guardian name. 
•  A user with full access can add/manipulate all entries unless an OBJECTTYPE USER record says otherwise. 
Miscellaneous commands in SSHCOM 
The following commands are independent of the mode set with the mode command: 
MODE 
As described earlier, the MODE command will work in both run modes of SSHCOM. If entered without specifying a 
mode, the command will show the current mode under which SSHCOM is operating: 
$QAHPSSH T0801ABK 29> run sshcom $ssh01 
SSHCOM T0801H01_22JAN2014_ABK - 2014-01-24 14:42:45.368 
OPEN $ssh01 
% mode 
Mode 
current mode is CLIENT 
% 
The command has the following syntax: 
MODE [CLIENT | DAEMON | SERVER] 
The individual attributes have the following meaning and syntax: 
CLIENT 
Switches to CLIENT mode. 
DAEMON 
Switches to DAEMON mode. 
SERVER 
SERVER is a synonym for DAEMON and therefore switches to DAEMON mode as well.
