The
Client daemon will display a security window to allow the user to enter
a user ID and password if
ALL of the following are true:
- The Enable pop-up windows field in the Configuration Tool is selected; see Enable pop-up windows.
- The client is not running as a service, or is running as a service that
is enabled to interact with the desktop.
- The server requires that a user ID and password are flowed in the transaction
attach request.
- No default security has yet been set for the server connection or default security has been set but the settings produce a security
error on the server, for example, password expired.
- The transaction being invoked by the client is CCIN (client install) or
CTIN (terminal install).
- A terminal user ID and password have not been supplied on a terminal install
request.
Values entered via a security window, once verified, are used to set the
default user ID and password values for that server connection.
Security windows are not displayed directly by ECI or EPI transaction requests,
although they can be prompted by these requests, if the request causes a server
connection to be established, or a terminal to be installed.
