CL Command Reference - STRNTWCNN
CL Command List > STRNTWCNN Reference
Description:
The Start NetWare Connection (STRNTWCNN) command starts an authenticated connection to the specified server. This command is used to:
. Start a connection when there is no password in the authentication entry for the server (the password value is *STRNTWCNN).
. Start a connection using authentication information different from that specified in the user profile authentication entry.
. To specify a preferred server for NetWare operations that might otherwise use a different server.
If a password is stored in the authentication entry, this command is not needed; the system will start and end connections as necessary.
Connections can be authorized to be used only by the current job (AUTJOB(*)), or can be authorized to be used by any job running under the specified user profile (AUTJOB(*ANY)), for example, a batch job. Each user profile can only have one connection per job open to a given server at a time.
For NetWare Directory Services trees, connections may be started to each server within the tree. The special value *ALL may be used to start connections to all servers. This could be used, for example, when copying from one server in the tree to another, or copying between partitions of the NDS tree. If multiple connections exist, operations that do not require a specific server will be performed using the first connection started.
The NetWare backup services require that each user perform a separate authentication in addition to a normal login. The connection type (CNNTYPE) parameter allows you to specify that a *SAVRST authentication be performed for this purpose.
Restrictions: To start a connection for another user profile (specified in AUTUSR parameter), you need to have *USE authority to that user profile.
Examples:
None.
