Summary of User ID and Password Values on an AS400 Object

The following table summarizes how the user ID and password values on an AS400 object are handled by a Java program running on an AS/400 system versus a Java program running on a client:

Values on AS400 Object Java Program
Running on an AS/400
Java Program Running on a Client
System name, user ID, and password not set Connect to the current AS/400 using the user ID and password of the job that started the program Prompt for system, user ID, and password
 
System name = localhost Connect to the current AS/400 using the user ID and password of the job that started the program Error: localhost is not valid when the Java program is running on a client
System name = localhost
User ID = *current
System name = localhost
User ID = *current
Password ID = *current
 
System name = "sys" Connect to AS/400 "sys" using the user ID and password of the job that started the program. "sys" can be the current AS/400 or another AS/400 Prompt for user ID and password
 
System name = localhost
User ID = "UID"
Password ID = "PWD"
Connect to the current AS/400 using the user ID and password specified by the Java program instead of the user ID and password of the job that started the program Error: localhost is not valid when the Java program is not running on a client
