QX_USER

Holds the user  name used for authentication.

Syntax

QX_USER={your user name}

Usage and examples

When any application is run with the secure instance, the user name used for authorizing in LyciaDesktop or LyciaWeb authentication dialog is set a) as the value for QX_USER and b) to the application environment.

As QX_USER gets its value at the moment of the application launching, you do not need to set it in any configurations files.

 

You can use QX_USER for different authentication purposes.

For example, you can use the QX_USER value for accessing your INFORMIX database. For this, you have to added $QX_USER as a value for LOGNAME in inet.env:

LOGNAME=$QX_USER

and then

• either set the $QX_PASSWORD as a value for INFORMIXPASS, or
• set up trusted connection to the database server.
