The USERNAME variable for for a PROCESS START request says to start a
process as another user (the username specified). It has absolutely
nothing to do with STAF trust. You don't need to specify a USERNAME
option on a PROCESS START request unless you need to run a process as a
different user that the user that was logged on when STAFProc was started.
STAF trust is determined by the machine/user that is submitting a STAF
service request. I recommend that you first use machine trust and get
familiar with it before trying to use user trust. Machine trust uses
TCP/IP hostnames (e.g. client1.company.com) or IP addresses. So, in order
for machine client1.company.com to be able to submit a STAF PROCESS START
request on machine client2.company.com, machine client2.company.com must
give trust level 5 to machine client1.company.com. For example, machine
client2.company.com's STAF.cfg file would need to have the following entry
:
TRUST LEVEL 5 MACHINE client1.company.com
User trust is a more advanced topic and requires that you have an
authenticator for your users registered in the STAF.cfg file on all
machines using STAF. STAF provides a sample user authenticator which you
could use. User trust requires that you authenticate the STAF handle that
you use to submit service requests to STAF services (like a PROCESS START
request). You can authenticate a STAF handle using the HANDLE service's
AUTHENTICATE request and specifying the user and its credentials and the
authenticator you're using.

[staf-users] Trust?
I have just started on learning how to use staf, and one of the first
questions I have is about trust. I understand I can set trust on
userlevel etc, but how do I actually do something under a given user? I
tried the process service like:
process start command xxx username uuu password ppp
- but the response tells me that I need to have trust level 5 to access
the process service. I have already set up trust level 5 for the user,
so I must have done it wrong:
trust level 5 user uuu
Am I just being stupid?
