<p>The Get Profile Handle (QsyGetProfileHandle) API validates user IDs and
passwords and creates a profile handle, for use in jobs that run under more
than one user profile. The profile handle is temporary; you can use it only in
the job that created it.
</p>
<p>
This API requires the password for the user ID to be specified. If you need
to create a profile handle for a user ID without specifying the password,
see the Get Profile Handle No Password (QsyGetProfileHandleNoPwd) API.
</p>
<p>The Get Profile Handle API follows this process:</p>
<ul>
<li>Verifies that the user ID and password are correct. Incorrect passwords and
special cases are handled as follows:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>If the password is not correct, the incorrect password count is increased.
(The QMAXSIGN system value contains the maximum number of incorrect attempts to
sign on.) If the QMAXSGNACN system value is set to disable the user profile,
repeated attempts to validate an incorrect password disables the user ID. This
keeps applications from methodically determining user passwords.<br>
<br></li>
<li>
To obtain a profile handle for *CURRENT user,
use the Get Profile Handle No Password (QsyGetProfileHandleNoPwd) API.
<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>To obtain a profile handle for a profile that does not have a password,
use the Get Profile Handle No Password (QsyGetProfileHandleNoPwd) API.
</ul>
<br></li>
<li>
To obtain a profile handle for a profile that is disabled,
use the Get Profile Handle No Password (QsyGetProfileHandleNoPwd) API.
<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>
To obtain a profile handle when the password is expired,
use the Get Profile Handle No Password (QsyGetProfileHandleNoPwd) API.
<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Generates the profile handle, a 12-character random string designating the
user's authorities. This string, not the user's password, supplies the Set
Profile Handle (QWTSETP, QsySetProfileHandle) and the Release Profile Handle
(QSYRLSPH, QsyReleaseHandle) APIs.
<p>The maximum number of profile handles that can be created is approximately
20,000 per job; after that, the space to store them is full. Message CPF22E6 is sent to
the application, and Get Profile Handle stops generating profile handles.</p>
<p>Be sure to keep track of the profile handles created in the calling
application. If the application calls Get Profile Handle twice with the same
user profile and password, Get Profile Handle returns two different profile
handles. Either handle can be used, but generating and using just one is more
efficient.</p>
</li>
<li>Updates the last-used date for the user and group profiles.<br>
<br></li>
<li>Resets the signon attempts not valid count to zero.<br>
<br></li>
<li>If security-related events are being audited, adds an entry to the QAUDJRN
audit journal to indicate that a profile handle is created.<br>
<br></li>
</ul>

<h3>Required Parameter Group</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Profile handle</strong></dt>
<dd>OUTPUT; CHAR(12)
<p>A unique string or handle designating the user profile to use as input to
other routines. The handle is temporary; you can use it only in the job that
created it.</p>
<dt><strong>User ID</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(10)
<p>The user ID of the profile for which the handle is being created.</p>
A user ID must be a 10 character,
blank padded value in CCSID 37.
</dd>
<dt><strong>Password</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(*)
<p>The password for the user ID.
</p>
<p>
Special values are not allowed for this parameter.
</p>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Length of password</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; BINARY(4)
<p>The length, in bytes, of the password contained in the user profile password
parameter.</p>
<p>
The valid values are:</p>
<table cellpadding="5">
<!-- cols="15 85" -->

<td align="left" valign="top" nowrap><em>1-512</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">
The length of the password in the password parameter. </td>
</tr>
</table>
</dd>
<dt><strong>CCSID of password</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; BINARY(4)
<p>The CCSID of the password parameter. For a list of valid CCSIDs, see the <a
href="../nls/rbagsglobalmain.htm">Globalization</a> topic in the iSeries
Information Center.</p>
<p>The valid values are:</p>
<table cellpadding="5">

<td align="left" valign="top"><em>-1</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">
The current password level for the system is used
to determine the CCSID of the password data.
When calling
this API on password level 0 or 1, CCSID 37 is used.
When calling this API on
password level 2 or 3, the default CCSID (DFTCCSID) job attribute is used.
See usage notes for more details.

<dt><strong>Error code</strong></dt>
<dd>I/O; CHAR(*)

<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
<p>Profile handles are a limited resource; it is possible to run out of handles.
To guarantee that you always have a profile handle to switch
back to, it is recommended that you get a profile handle for both the current
thread and the user profile
to which you plan to switch. If for some reason you cannot do
this, and if you cannot get a profile handle that will allow you to switch back,
then it probably is safest to end the thread or job.</p>
<p>The CCSID parameter on this API can lead to potential problems if coded
with inconsistent CCSID values. Passwords created using the CRTUSRPRF,
CHGUSRPRF, and CHGPWD CL commands, as well as the QSYCHGPW API (when
called without passing the CCSID parameter), while the system is running
password level 0 or 1 are created using CCSID 37. Passwords created
using these CL commands and the QSYCHGPW API (without the CCSID parameter
specified) when running password level 2 or 3 are created using the
default job CCSID. Using variant characters $, @ and #, as well as
other variant characters, in a user password may result in
inconsistencies when converting from one CCSID to another. When calling
this API on password level 0 or 1, CCSID 37 should be specified unless
the password string is in a known CCSID. When calling this API on
password level 2 or 3, pass the default job CCSID unless the password
string is in a known CCSID.</p>
