| # User Data (ttams1100s000) Use this session to define the system data, defaults settings, authorizations, and templates applicable for the LN user. The data is necessary for the user to start up a Tools application successfully. In this session you can also define the Tools user's address data. For example, the e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, and so on. If you have defined the data for the Tools user, click Close to return to the overview session. Use the commands on the appropriate menu to create the user file in Tools. Note A textgroup authorization template must be defined for a normal user, otherwise the user is unable to read or write text in Tools. Related topics Creating an LN user Creating the database user Defining authorizations User Specifies a user code to identify the user as a LN user. The Tools user code is normally similar to the user code defined in the System Login field. However, you can define more than one Tools user for one system logon. When a user starts the bshell, by default the system starts with the Tools user code that is equal to the system logon code. You can start the bshell with a different Tools user code by setting the environment variable User. Example
System logon | ERP LN user
dave | dave
dave | dave_01
dave | dave_02
john | john
john | john_01
If the user with the system logon dave starts the bshell, by default he will be user dave in Tools. The user dave can fill the environment variable User with dave_01 or dave_02, to start as another Tools User. If the user with the system logon dave sets the environment variable USER to john or john_01 and tries to start the bshell, the message Not authorized to run as user john appears. In the same way, UNIX user john can only start the bshell as Tools User john or john_01, but not as dave, dave_01 or dave_02. Name Specifies the name of the Tools user. Infor SSO User Only if the Overrule System User parameter is checked in session Single Sign On (SSO) Parameters (ttams0100m000), this field appears. Fill in the name of the user as it is known in SSO Service. The Infor SSO User field can be left empty. In that case the value of the System Login field will be used during the Convert to Runtime. The Infor SSO User must be unique, for example an Infor SSO User can only be defined for one LN user. During the convert to runtime this field is dumped into the `u<user>` file with the tag `sso_user`. Also a `$BSE/lib/user/sso/s<SSO_USER>` file is created which contains the Application User name. The format is `baanuser:<baan user name>`. This file will be used by the Bshell to make the mapping from SSO user to Application User. To prevent that an end user can tamper with the configuration to get more credentials, an extra file `$BSE/lib/sso.permissions` is introduced for BLogin. This file contains the permissions for SSO users to impersonate a certain OS user. The file is to be maintained by the system admin and must only be writable on OS level by the system administrator. It must be considered as having the same security status as for example the OS password file. If this file does not exist, BLogin will refuse to handle SSO requests. Use Generic System User In case the Overrule System User parameter is checked in session SSO Parameters (ttams0100m000), the Use Generic System User and System Login fields are enabled. If this field is checked the default OS-user identity that is used in SSO mode to run the binaries will be displayed. Any user can impersonate the Generic System User. After conversion this data is placed into the `sso_config` file as `generic_user:<Generic User>`. System Login Specifies the System Login code of the user. The user code entered in the User field is used as the default. Before installing Tools, a number of system logons have to be created by the system manager by using a system administration program. Tools checks if the logon code specified in this field exists in the password file. If not, a warning appears. Important! You can only specify system login codes that are in lower case. Note that the System Login field will be disabled when the Use Generic System User field is checked. This is the case when SSO is activated. The value of the displayed Generic System User field will than be used during Convert to Runtime. User Type Select the user type for the LN user. Package Combination Define the user's package combination of the Tools software. Package Combination The description of the package combination. Company Specifies the default company that contains data that the LN user will work with. Access to a company is only possible if the package combination of the Tools user and company are the same. There are exceptions to this rule. The company's package combination can only differ from the user's package combination under the following restrictions: Both package combinations must include the same library authorizations. The package VRCs in both package combinations can only be different if both package VRCs are derived from each other, or both package VRCs are derived from the same package VRC, and no changes in data definitions or domains have been made in the derived package VRCs. Note If the user is a normal user, the company authorization for the entered company is automatically generated.
