"User name jsmith does not exist" message trying to connect to USMnn
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 20
Note: "jsmith" is used as a sample username for this error message.
Problem Symptoms:
* Unable to access USMnn libraries in the GUI (Graphic User Interface)
* When attempting to connect to USMnn, the message "User name jsmith does not exist" is displayed, even though the user has privileges in that library
Procedure/Resolution:
1. In the GUI (any module), right-click the key icon on the Operations bar (at the bottom right of the screen)
2. Select Temporary Password Override or Login as Another User
3. Login as MASTER/MASTER
4. Ignore the message "User name jsmith does not exist" if it appears
5. Click on ALEPH menu, then "Connect to", and select the desired USMnn library
Additional Information
* USR00 is always the pw_library for the USMnn libraries. Thus, when connecting to a USMnn library, the system checks for the username in the z66 (Password Information) table of the USR00 library.
* The variable pw_library in $alephe_root/aleph_start table is usually set with XXX50 library, which is why it is not possible to connect to the USM libraries with local user names.
