PASSWORD

Required? No
Keyword Type Hexadecimal string
Field Length 1–20
Multiples Allowed? Yes, one for each AS400_SERVER keyword or SHARED_FOLDER parameter
   PASSWORD = (
      @TYPE = HEXSTRINGKEYWORD
      @FIELD_LENGTH = 1,20
    )
The PASSWORD parameter specified outside of the SHARED_FOLDER parameter is used with the USER_ID parameter to validate iSeries™, eServer™ i5, or System i5™ access. This password is supplied by an application, such as a TN5250 application, attempting to access the iSeries™, eServer™ i5, or System i5™. The password supplied by the application is converted to a 20-character hexadecimal string by the encryption process.
Note:
Since this value is encrypted, you should not attempt to enter this value directly into the ACG file. The value should only be entered using the SNA Node Configuration application.

The PASSWORD parameter specified for the SHARED_FOLDER parameter validates iSeries™, eServer™ i5, or System i5™ folder access, and overrides the PASSWORD parameter supplied by an application. You can further restrict access to iSeries™, eServer™ i5, or System i5™ resources or grant users the same access rights as they already have on the iSeries™, eServer™ i5, or System i5™.

This parameter is optional.
