PRELOGINUSER (JANUS DEFINE parameter)
<section begin="desc" />PRELOGINUSER userid<section end="desc" />
PRELOGINUSER is a parameter on JANUS DEFINE, which defines and sets characteristics of a Janus port. See the List of JANUS DEFINE parameters.
This parameter indicates the userid under which pre-login processing runs. Pre-login processing is that which occurs before a user login.
This parameter is only available in Version 6.0 and later of the Sirius Mods. Before this version, these were all true about processing that occurred before user login:
- It ran under "NO USERID".
- It was not visible with SirMon, the MONITOR command, or LOGWHO.
- It was not BUMP'able.
After Version 6.0 of the Sirius Mods, pre-login processing runs under the default userid of "NO USERID" or under the userid specified by the PRELOGINUSER parameter; it is visible to SirMon, the MONITOR command, and the LOGWHO command; and it is BUMP'able.
On many port types, much processing can take place before a thread is actually logged on to a user. The PRELOGINUSER parameter can be useful in helping distinguish users in pre-login processing on different ports.
Valid for SRVSOCK, WEBSERV, OPENSERV, FTPSERVER, TNSERV, SDS and IFDIAL port types.
