|
<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>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>
