The site may use the LGI$ICB_AUTOLOGIN callback routine to
determine whether the standard OpenVMS autologin functionality
applies for this terminal.
Format
LGI$ICB_AUTOLOGIN
1 – Returns
OpenVMS usage:value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by value
True (logical 1) if autologin enabled; 0 otherwise.
2 – Arguments
None.
3 – Description
If the standard OpenVMS autologin functionality applies, the
callback routine returns the user name to the site program using
the standard argument vector so that the autologin process may
continue.
The autologin determination is made before the site prompts for
the user passwords. The callback routine is applicable only for
interactive character-cell logins.
NOTE
Standard OpenVMS policy uses autologin only on directly
connected or LAT connected character-cell terminals. The
LGI$ICB_AUTOLOGIN callback routine checks the automatic
login file (ALF) SYS$SYSTEM:SYSALF.DAT to make the
determination.
A DECwindows callout can include a method for doing a
DECwindows autologin. In that case, the callout routine
should set the autologin flag to true before returning
control to LOGINOUT.
4 – Condition Values Returned
None.
