The information is organized under the following headings:
The user has to supply user ID and password when attempting to access a protected nucleus. The ID and password supplied for System Management Hub (SMH) are not applied here.
If the nucleus is protected by Adabas SAF Security, Adabas Manager will verify the user ID and password defined in the mainframe security system.
You are prompted for login
if you are accessing the protected nucleus for the first time in the session
after a non-activity timeout
if the SMH session has been terminated (by logoff, timeout or network failure)
Note:
Tree items you are not authorized to view for security reasons are
not displayed; where menus are available for viewing but may not be modified,
the respective buttons are grayed out in the detail-view panels.
The session with a protected nucleus is terminated
when the browser window is closed
when another URL is entered in the browser
when the System Management Hub session is closed
when the System Management Hub non-activity timeout limit is reached
when the Adabas Manager non-activity timeout limit is reached
by clearing the Adabas Manager session cache
by logout
by a new login
Adabas Manager does its own user authentication check independent of the credentials supplied for System Management Hub (SMH) logon. The authentication is specific for each nucleus, but you can simultaneously logon to several with one password.
On expiry of a user password, the databases protected by Adabas SAF Security will request that you set a new password. User IDs and passwords in Adabas Manager are restricted to 8 characters. Other than that, Adabas Manager will check that a new password is being entered and that it is not the same as the previous one.
The duration of an Adabas Manager session
with a protected nucleus can be determined by setting the
non_activity_time value in the registry; this will be
the priority timeout value and apply to all databases.
If non_activity_time has not been set in the
registry, the ADARUN parameter TNAE will set the timeout
for the session with a database.
