Although the signonUser and signonPassword command line arguments are optional when executing existing methods or reading, compiling, and executing transient methods, the appropriate authentication rules in the
If you do not want to specify the user identifier and password on the command line, you can use the
The JADE Application Programming Interface (API) function call interface signature is as follows.
extern "C" int JOMAPI authFunction(GETPASSWORD_UNION * authInfo);
This function call, whose use is shown in the following example (in which you would substitute your own user code and password to replace the fictitious ones used in this example), returns zero (0) for success or a non‑zero error condition if the call was unable to obtain the password.
extern "C" int JOMAPI authFunction(GETPASSWORD_UNION * authInfo) { authInfo->GETPASSWORD_STRUCTv2.bValid = true; intlStrcpy(authInfo->GETPASSWORD_STRUCTv2.username, TEXT("ExampleUserCode")); intlStrcpy(authInfo->GETPASSWORD_STRUCTv2.password, TEXT("ExamplePassword")); return 0; }
To indicate that a user name and password are used, set bValid to true. A value of false indicates that you do not want the function call to provide a user name and password.
To view the format of the data structure and callback that handles obtaining a user name and password from a third‑party DLL, see the GETPASSWORD_STRUCT type definition in the jomtypes.h file in your JADE includes directory.
