HP ALLBASE/4GL Run-Time Administration Manual

Sign-On Screen Bypass 

End users can bypass the HP ALLBASE/4GL sign-on screen and go directly to
the initial action of the application if HP ALLBASE/4GL is invoked with
the -a and -u command line options.

If required, you can use a command file or a UDC to set HP ALLBASE/4GL to
start with these options.  The -a and -u options must be used together.

The -a option takes two arguments:  application_name and
application_passwd.  Application_name is the name of the application that
you want the user to run.  Application_passwd is the password (if any)
defined for the application.  Application_passwd must be preceded by a
colon (:).  If you have specified a default application for an end user
on the administrator end user validation screen, you can leave
application_name blank.  If you leave application_name blank and the end
user does not have a default application, HP ALLBASE/4GL exits with an
error message.

The -u option also takes two arguments:  user_name and user_passwd.
User_name is the HP ALLBASE/4GL name of the end user that you want to
sign on.  User_passwd is the user's HP ALLBASE/4GL password.  User_passwd 
must be preceded by a colon.


NOTE  You cannot bypass the HP ALLBASE/4GL sign-on screen to access the
      administrator.  If you specify a user_name of administ, HP
      ALLBASE/4GL exits with an error message.
