Creating the authorization rule
The authorization rule is used by vendor.connect to match users with their authorized supplier
code. If Geac’s secure.connect is installed on the iSeries in the files that contain the rule, the
rule will already be located in the AUTHSYSTEM library. If secure.connect is not installed,
then you need to restore the AUTHSYSTEM library on the iSeries server. Refer to 4.2.3,
“Restoring libraries” on page 76, for instructions on restoring this library from its save file.
Use your preferred SQL console (for example, Client Access or on the iSeries) to execute the
statements in the VendorCreateRule.SQL file in the SQL folder. Make sure that the library
AUTHSYSTEM appears in the library list when running this.
