To enable 5250 communications, you must define emulator users or groups of users as described in “Configuring 5250 Emulator Users”.

Configuring 5250 Emulator Users

You must add emulator user definitions for each user who requires access to a 5250 emulator.

Adding an individual user gives access to only that user.

You can also add a group of users in a single operation. Adding a group of users gives access to all members of the group. This means that you do not have to define each user individually, reducing the time needed to configure users.

Emulator user information can be accessed by a Windows client running an emulation program that is compatible with Microsoft's SNA Server product.

To configure an emulator user or group, use one of the following methods:

Motif administration program

Select Emulator users and sessions from the Windows menu on the Node window, then choose one of the following options from the Selection menu:

  • New user

  • New user group

Command-line administration program

Issue the following command:

define_emulator_user

Emulation User and Group Configuration Parameters

The following parameters are required for each 5250 emulator user definition:

User Name

The name of the emulator user.

For users running the emulation program on HP-UX systems, this is the name used to log in on that computer. The name is set up by the administrator of the HP-UX system.

For Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11, or on Win16 subsystems on Windows NT, Windows 95, or OS/2, this name is the snauser field in the Configuration section of the sna.ini file (which usually resides in the c:\windows directory). For Windows 95 or Windows NT, this name matches a login name defined on the Windows 95 or Windows NT system.

Group Name

When adding a user group, supply the name of the group to which the user belongs.

For users running the emulation program on HP-UX systems, this name is set up by the administrator of the HP-UX system.

For Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11, or on Win16 subsystems on Windows NT, Windows 95, or OS/2, this name is the snagroup field in the Configuration section of the sna.ini file (which usually resides in the c:\windows directory). For Windows 95 or Windows NT, you can find the group name through the Windows Program Registry.

For a user group, the remaining fields in the dialog apply to all members of the group.

You can set up a default user definition that is used by all users who do not have their own individual or group definitions. To do this, specify a user or group name of DEFAULT.
