Protection/Authentication by Validation List

Create a Validation List on your iSeries

1. Create a validation list for our Internet or Intranet users. You use the Create Validation List (CRTVLDL) command as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 - Create Validation List

2. The default public authority on our newly created validation list has been set to *EXCLUDE. While this is good for security, it also prevents the webmaster from accessing it for authentication purposes. Use the Grant Object Authority (GRTOBJAUT) or the Edit Object Authority (EDTOBJAUT) commands to grant the webmaster *USE authority on the validation list as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2 - Edit Object Authority

In Figure 3 the EDTOBJAUT display once authority on the object is successfully changed. Notice that the *ALL authority given to the original owner will no longer be needed once the list is step up.

Now that the webmaster has the authority to edit the validation list, head over to the BED/m-Power interface and click the Data Dictionary tab.

Enter the validation library and name in this format LIBRARY/VALIDATIONLISTNAME

Add users by clicking the Create button.

Click the Accept Button. Continue to add as many users as necessary.

Congratulations, you have set up your validation list and populated it with data.
