Login processing (ANONYMOUS)
Login processing allows you to determine how anonymous users are validated
during the login process. You have two options for specifying the user ID to be
used for anonymous logins.
- "Log the user in with an ID of ANONYMOU"
- "Log the user in with the following user ID".
When you specify a user ID, you can either
prompt the user for the password, provide the password to be used, or use the
SURROGATE option.
"Prompt user for password?" options:
- "Yes"
- When a remote user enters ANONYMOUS as a user ID, the FTP server treats the login
request as though the specified user ID was entered instead of ANONYMOUS.
The user is prompted for the password to the user ID and, if the user enters the
correct password, the user is logged in as the specified user ID.
- "No, use this password"
- When a remote user enters ANONYMOUS as the user ID, the FTP server treats
the login request as though the specified user ID was entered instead of ANONYMOUS.
The FTP server automatically uses the provided password and user ID to login in the user.
- "No, use the SURROGATE option"
- Allows a remote user to enter ANONYMOUS as a user ID. When
ANONYMOUS is entered as the user ID, the FTP server treats the login
request as though the specified user ID was entered instead of ANONYMOUS.
The FTP Server calls RACF and checks if this user ID is allowed to login
without a password. This option is valid only if you have chosen to place
restriction on anonymous users(ANONYMOUSLEVEL=3).
