NEWSESGUESTOK (JANUS DEFINE parameter)
Permit 'guest' logons vis $Sir_Login
NEWSESGUESTOK is a parameter on JANUS DEFINE, which defines and sets characteristics of a Janus port.
This parameter indicates that "guest" logins are to be allowed for $Sir_Login calls in programs run as part of NEWSESCMD processing.
Guest logins are logins for userids that are defined neither in CCASTAT nor to the external authorizer (RACF, ACF2 or Top Secret). Guest logins are useful for running requests on behalf of a user on a trusted system, such as a proxy server or another Model 204 Online, without having to keep the userids between systems in synch. Users running as a result of guest logins on a SRVSOCK or WEBSERV port always run with minimal user privileges.
Valid for SRVSOCK and WEBSERV port types.
