Adding a new user

Let's add a user called TAGE (named after the guy from the "Dage med Tage" sketch), with the password linie.

• Login as someone who has rights to do this sort of thing, such as HERC01
• Navigate to SYS2.JCLLIB(ADDUSER)
• Tweak it as needed, so the last line is //ADDUSER EXEC ADDUSER,HLQ=TAGE,UTYPE=USER

The username is specified after HLQ, and the user type here is USER, but it could also have been SYSP.

• Submit the job (write SUBMIT on the Command ===> line and hit enter).
• Navigate to SYS1.SECURE.CNTL(USERS) and add a new line with the contents TAGE USER ABCD N (the fields must line up with the rest of the file, and ABCD is the password).

Changing password

To change your password, connect to the mainframe and at the Logon ===> prompt, type your username. Instead of replying with your password, reply with linie/snaps, where linie is your current password, and snaps is your new password.

/s rakfuser (IMPORTANT)

To make any of the changes effective, you must run /s rakfuser on the mvs console (the linux terminal session where ./mvs is running).
