USER_ID

Required? No
Keyword Type String
Field Length 1–10
Multiples Allowed? Yes, one for each AS400_SERVER keyword or SHARED_FOLDER parameter
   USER_ID = (
      @TYPE = STRINGKEYWORD
      @FIELD_LENGTH = 1,10
    )

The USER_ID parameter specified outside of the SHARED_FOLDER parameter validates iSeries™, eServer™ i5, or System i5™ access. The user ID is supplied by an application, such as a TN5250 application, attempting to access the iSeries™, eServer™ i5, or System i5™.

The USER_ID parameter specified for the SHARED_FOLDER parameter validates iSeries™, eServer™ i5, or System i5™ folder access and overrides the USER_ID parameter supplied by a TN5250 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.
