What to code in the PRODUCT CONFIG for USERPASS and TERMPASS exits

Products

• VM:Secure for z/VM

Issue/Introduction

In the sample PRODUCT CONFIG file these lines

USEREXIT USERPASS USERE EXEC
USEREXIT TERMPASS TERME EXEC

If we choose to use the VMXEXITA and VMXEXITB sample execs provided, we would code

USEREXIT USERPASS VMXEXITA EXEC
USEREXIT TERMPASS VMXEXITB EXEC

Is that correct?

Yes.
