The variable DEFAULT-USER, as well as the variables ACCESS-FILE and PASSWORD-ATTEMPTS, affects AcuServer access security.
DEFAULT-USER holds the default user name given to AcuServer requesters who are not specifically mapped to a local user name in the server access file (as when the Local Username field of the access record is empty, or the value of the field is an invalid user name). Definition of DEFAULT-USER is optional. DEFAULT-USER cannot be defined as "root." For a description of when AcuServer assigns DEFAULT-USER to a requester, see Chapter 8, Section 8.4 AcuServer Connection Logic .
