PUBLOG (JANUS DEFINE parameter)
For 'real' logon
PUBLOG is a parameter on JANUS DEFINE, which defines and sets characteristics of a Janus port.
This parameter indicates that a "real" login should be done for the SOCKUSER userid for SRVSOCK logons. The "real" login will be a trusted login so passwords will not be required from end-users but the SOCKUSER userid must be defined in CCASTAT or to the external authorizer (RACF, ACF2 or Top Secret) if PUBLOG is specified for a port. If PUBLOG is not specified, the SOCKUSER userid will be logged on for SRVSOCK logons whether or not it is defined in CCASTAT or to an external authorizer, and it will be given UPRIV 0 (default user privileges).
PUBLOG can be used if even public logins should be logged by an external authorizer (as a matter of policy) or if non-standard privileges are to be assigned to the public user. Use caution if assigning any privileges to the SOCKUSER userid since this can be a potential security exposure.
Valid only for SRVSOCK ports.
