Test the CGI Routine

Test the CGI routine from a browser.

1. Open a browser window, and enter the following URL, where host, port, userid, and password are set to appropriate values.

   https://host:port/smcgsaf?type=authentication&userid=userid&password=password&roles=StorageTapeAnalyticsUser
   

   The resulting output indicates whether the user is authorized to access STA and the StorageTapeAnalyticsUser role.

   Note:

   The STA RACF authorization facility does not support changing the password of mainframe user IDs. If a user ID password expires, STA indicates this, and the password must be reset through normal mainframe channels before attempting to log in to STA again.
