Use the command line switches -u username and -P password to start DOORS with different user credentials.

You asked for the login procedure, which is only possible at DOORS startup. AFAIK there is no way you can change your login details when you have started DOORS and logged in with a certain username and password.

You cannot do it from the client DXL program without starting a new DOORS client and doing the change from there. Implementing a stable solution for this without sacrificing DOORS security is quite some task. You need a server service, that will authenticate the sender and run a script with higher priviledges. This service must handle the situation where the modules to be changed are locked and cannot be changed and stuff like this. Multiple connections might need to be handled. Don't think about encrypting the high priviledge user password in some DXL. These can always and easily be fooled to give away the user/password. So the main reason to implement a service like this, namly security, goes down the gutter.

Normally, when users demand a solution, that requires a user to invoke a script with higher priviledges it turned out, that there is another solution that requires no higher priviledges. Maybe if you can say something about the reason you want to create an object with higher priviledges we can think about an alternate solution, which enables you to achive the same.

Just my two cents ...
