Create Function--Create a Remote User Authorization

In netutil non-interactive mode, you can use the create function to create a remote user authorization.

This function has the following format when used to create a remote user authorization:

create type login vnode login password
type

Specifies the type of entry. Valid values are:

global

Indicates that the object is available to all users on the local node.

private

Indicates that the object is available to a single user.

vnode

Identifies the virtual node name associated with this authorization.

login

Identifies the name of the account to be used on the remote instance's host machine.

If you are authorizing access to the remote instance using an Installation Password, an asterisk (*) must be entered into this field.

password

Identifies the remote instance's Installation Password, the password of the remote account, or the DBMS password, depending on the method of authorization.

Examples: Create a Remote User Authorization

This command creates a private authorization for vnode “payroll” for user Jane:

C P L Payroll jane jpassword

This command creates a global authorization for vnode “accounting” using an Installation Password:

cr gl login accounting * acctpassword

Note

Any previously existing authorization of the specified type is replaced by the execution of this line.

Note

Private authorizations are created for the currently logged-in user or for the user identified by the -u flag. Only a user with the GCA privilege NET_ADMIN can create a global authorization.
