LOGMECH
LOGMECH
Purpose
Identifies the appropriate logon mechanism by name. If the specified mechanism requires
parameters other than user ID and password for authentication, the LOGDATA command
provides these parameters. The LOGMECH command is optional and available only on
network-attached systems.
Syntax
.LOGMECH logmech_name
;
2409A053
where
Syntax Element
logmech_name
Description
Definition of the logon mechanism
For a discussion of supported logon mechanisms, see Security Administration.
The name is limited to 8 bytes; it is not case-sensitive.
Usage Notes
Examples
Every session to be connected requires a mechanism name. If none is supplied, a default
mechanism can be used instead, as defined on either the server or client system in an
XML-based configuration file.
For more information about logon security, see Security Administration.
If used, the LOGDATA and LOGMECH commands must precede the LOGON command. The
commands themselves may occur in any order.
The following example demonstrates using the LOGDATA, LOGMECH, and LOGON
commands in combination to specify the Windows logon authentication method and
associated parameters:
.logmech NTLM;
.logdata joe@domain1@@mypassword;
.logon cs4400s3;
