Using the NETRC data set z/OS Communications Server: IP User's Guide and Commands SC27-3662-00 |
|
The NETRC data set provides you with an alternative to
specifying the user_id and password values as REXEC parameters. REXEC
uses the following search order to find the NETRC data set to use:
For information about using the NETRC data set in a batch file, see Submitting REXEC and RSH requests in batch. If the password is specified on the -p parameter on the REXEC command, no NETRC data sets are used. The keywords machine, login, and password must be specified in lowercase. The user ID and password might be case sensitive and if supplied in the incorrect case, failures might occur when connecting to a REXEC server. Contact the administrator of the server's system if you are uncertain which case should be used. The hostname value that is specified after the machine keyword can include scope information, as described in the support for scope information in the z/OS Communications Server: IPv6 Network and Application Design Guide. Guideline: If either hostname%scope or IPv6_address%scope is specified as the foreign_host command parameter, there must be an entry
in the NETRC data set that contains a string identical to the value
that follows the machine keyword so that
the correct user ID and password values are selected.
The
following is the format of the NETRC data set:
Note: You can omit your password in the NETRC data set. If you do, the
REXEC command prompts you for your current password.
The
following is an example of a NETRC data set:
The following is a sample of the response that displays after using
using the REXEC command and the NETRC data set.
