Troubleshooting: Updating DASU and DASP Environment Variable Credentials

Overview

During the Colleague login process, the environment variables DASU and DASP are set by logic stored in XTCS.EXT.SRC.CODE and XTCS.POS.SET.DAS.VARS. Old, hardcoded usernames and passwords in these files can prevent users from authenticating successfully.

To correct this, the credentials must be updated in the code, followed by restarting the listeners.

Procedure

1. Locate and Update Credentials

1. Open the file:

   • XTCS.EXT.SRC.CODE
   • XTCS.POS.SET.DAS.VARS

2. Identify any hardcoded username and password values.

3. Replace them with the correct, current credentials.

   DASU=<updated_username>
   DASP=<updated_password>
   

4. Save and recompile if required by your environment.
