LOGDATA
Purpose
Supplies parameters to the LOGMECH command beyond those needed by the logon mechanism, such as user ID and password, to successfully authenticate the user. The LOGDATA command is optional. Whether or not parameters are supplied and the values and types of parameters depend on the selected logon method. LOGDATA is available only on network‑based platforms.

Examples
If used, the LOGDATA command and the LOGMECH command must precede the LOGON command. The commands themselves may occur in any order.
The example demonstrates using the LOGDATA, LOGMECH, and LOGON commands in combination to specify the Kerberos logon authentication method and associated parameters:
.logmech KRB5;
.logdata joe@domain1@@mypassword;
.logon cs4400s3;
