If you specify a logical name as the device-name (for example, DISK1: for DUA1:), you must make an entry for the logical name in the LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE in executive mode by using the DCL command DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC.
| AUDIT | Enables or disables mandatory security auditing for a specific user. By default, the system does not audit the activities of specific users (NOAUDIT). |
| AUTOLOGIN | Restricts the user to the automatic login mechanism when logging in to an account. When set, the flag disables login by any terminal that requires entry of a user name and password. The default is to require a user name and password (NOAUTOLOGIN). |
| CAPTIVE |
Prevents the user from changing any defaults at login, for example,
/CLI or /LGICMD. It prevents the user from escaping the captive login
command procedure specified by the /LGICMD qualifier and gaining access
to the DCL command level. See "Guidelines for Captive Command
Procedures" in the HP OpenVMS Guide to System Security.
The CAPTIVE flag also establishes an environment where Ctrl/Y interrupts are initially turned off; however, command procedures can still turn on Ctrl/Y interrupts with the DCL command SET CONTROL=Y. By default, an account is not captive (NOCAPTIVE). |
| DEFCLI | Restricts the user to the default command interpreter by prohibiting the use of the /CLI qualifier at login. By default, a user can choose a CLI (NODEFCLI). |
| DISCTLY | Establishes an environment where Ctrl/Y interrupts are initially turned off and are invalid until a SET CONTROL=Y is encountered. This could happen in SYLOGIN.COM or in a procedure called by SYLOGIN.COM. Once a SET CONTROL=Y is executed (which requires no privilege), a user can enter a Ctrl/Y and reach the DCL prompt ($). If the intent of DISCTLY is to force execution of the login command files, then SYLOGIN.COM should issue the DCL command SET CONTROL=Y to turn on Ctrl/Y interrupts before exiting. By default, Ctrl/Y is enabled (NODISCTLY). |
| DISFORCE_PWD_CHANGE |
Removes the requirement that a user must change an expired password at
login. By default, a person can use an expired password only once
(NODISFORCE_PWD_CHANGE) and then is forced to change the password after
logging in. If the user does not select a new password, the user is
locked out of the system.
To use this feature, set a password expiration date with the /PWDLIFETIME qualifier. |
| DISIMAGE | Prevents the user from executing RUN and foreign commands. By default, a user can execute RUN and foreign commands (NODISIMAGE). |
| DISMAIL | Disables mail delivery to the user. By default, mail delivery is enabled (NODISMAIL). |
| DISNEWMAIL | Suppresses announcements of new mail at login. By default, the system announces new mail (NODISNEWMAIL). |
| DISPWDDIC | Disables automatic screening of new passwords against a system dictionary. By default, passwords are automatically screened (NODISPWDDIC). |
| DISPWDHIS | Disables automatic checking of new passwords against a list of the user's old passwords. By default, the system screens new passwords (NODISPWDHIS). |
| DISPWDSYNCH | Suppresses synchronization of the external password for this account. See bit 9 in the SECURITY_POLICY system parameter for systemwide password synchronization control. |
| DISRECONNECT | Disables automatic reconnection to an existing process when a terminal connection has been interrupted. By default, automatic reconnection is enabled (NODISRECONNECT). |
| DISREPORT | Suppresses reports of the last login time, login failures, and other security reports. By default, login information is displayed (NODISREPORT). |
| DISUSER | Disables the account so the user cannot log in. For example, the DEFAULT account is disabled. By default, an account is enabled (NODISUSER). |
| DISWELCOME | Suppresses the welcome message (an informational message displayed during a local login). This message usually indicates the version number of the operating system that is running and the name of the node on which the user is logged in. By default, a system login message appears (NODISWELCOME). |
| EXTAUTH | Considers user to be authenticated by an external user name and password, not by the SYSUAF user name and password. (The system still uses the SYSUAF record to check a user's login restrictions and quotas and to create the user's process profile.) |
| GENPWD | Restricts the user to generated passwords. By default, users choose their own passwords (NOGENPWD). |
| LOCKPWD | Prevents the user from changing the password for the account. By default, users can change their passwords (NOLOCKPWD). |
| PWD_EXPIRED | Marks a password as expired. The user cannot log in if this flag is set. The LOGINOUT.EXE image sets the flag when both of the following conditions exist: a user logs in with the DISFORCE_PWD_CHANGE flag set, and the user's password expires. A system manager can clear this flag. By default, passwords are not expired after login (NOPWD_EXPIRED). |
| PWD2_EXPIRED | Marks a secondary password as expired. Users cannot log in if this flag is set. The LOGINOUT.EXE image sets the flag when both of the following conditions exist: a user logs in with the DISFORCE_PWD_CHANGE flag set, and the user's password expires. A system manager can clear this flag. By default, passwords are not set to expire after login (NOPWD2_EXPIRED). |
| PWDMIX |
Enables case-sensitive and extended-character passwords.
After PWDMIX is specified, you can then use mixed-case and extended characters in passwords. Be aware that before the PWDMIX flag is enabled, the system stores passwords in all upper-case. Therefore, until you change passwords, you must enter your pre-PWDMIX passwords in upper-case. To change the password after PWDMIX is enabled:
|
| RESTRICTED | Prevents the user from changing any defaults at login (for example, by specifying /LGICMD) and prohibits user specification of a CLI with the /CLI qualifier. The RESTRICTED flag establishes an environment where Ctrl/Y interrupts are initially turned off; however, command procedures can still turn on Ctrl/Y interrupts with the DCL command SET CONTROL=Y. Typically, this flag is used to prevent an applications user from having unrestricted access to the CLI. By default, a user can change defaults (NORESTRICTED). |
| VMSAUTH | Allows account to use standard (SYSUAF) authentication when the EXTAUTH flag would otherwise require external authentication. This depends on the application. An application specifies the VMS domain of interpretation when calling SYS$ACM to request standard VMS authentication for a user account that normally uses external authentication. |
| BOTH | Generate primary and secondary passwords. |
| CURRENT | Do whatever the DEFAULT account does (for example, generate primary, secondary, both, or no passwords). This is the default keyword. |
| PRIMARY | Generate primary password only. |
| SECONDARY | Generate secondary password only. |
When you modify a password, the new password expires automatically; it is valid only once (unless you specify /NOPWDEXPIRED). On login, users are forced to change their passwords (unless you specify /FLAGS=DISFORCE_PWD_CHANGE).
Note that the /GENERATE_PASSWORD and /PASSWORD qualifiers are mutually exclusive.
The ADD/ADD_IDENTIFIER command, however, adds a user account to the authorization file, SYSUAF, and also adds an identifier to the rights database, RIGHTSLIST.DAT.
Uppercase and lowercase characters are equivalent. All lowercase characters are converted to uppercase before the password is encrypted. Avoid using the word password as the actual password.
Use the /PASSWORD qualifier as follows:
When you modify a password, the new password expires automatically; it is valid only once (unless you specify /NOPWDEXPIRED). On login, the user is forced to change the password (unless you specify /FLAGS=DISFORCE_PWD_CHANGE).
Note that the /GENERATE_PASSWORD and /PASSWORD qualifiers are mutually exclusive.
By default, the ADD command assigns the password USER. When you create a new UAF record with the COPY or RENAME command, you must specify a password. Avoid using the word password as the actual password.
If decompressing libraries, make sure to set PGFLQUOTA to twice the size of the library.
By default, primary days are Monday through Friday and secondary days are Saturday and Sunday. If you omit a day from the list, AUTHORIZE uses the default value. (For example, if you omit Monday from the list, AUTHORIZE defines Monday as a primary day.)
Use the primary and secondary day definitions in conjunction with such qualifiers as /ACCESS, /INTERACTIVE, and /BATCH.
To prevent a password from expiring, specify the time as NONE. By default, a password expires in 90 days.
Each user must have a unique UIC. By default, the UIC value is [200,200].
The value cannot be greater than WSMAX. This quota value replaces smaller values of PQL_MWSDEFAULT.
The value is an integer equal to or greater than WSQUOTA. By default,
the value is 16384 pagelets on Alpha and Integrity server systems. The
value cannot be greater than WSMAX. This quota value replaces smaller
values of
PQL_MWSEXTENT.
The value cannot be greater than the value of WSMAX and cannot exceed 8,192 pagelets on Alpha and Integrity server systems. This quota value replaces smaller values of PQL_MWSQUOTA.
When you do not specify a value for a field, AUTHORIZE uses values from the DEFAULT record (excluding the default password, which is always USER). The DEFAULT account serves as a template for creating user records in the system user authorization file.On Alpha and Integrity servers, the DEFAULT account is as follows:
Username: DEFAULT Owner: Account: UIC: [200,200] ([DEFAULT]) CLI: DCL Tables: DCLTABLES Default: [USER] LGICMD: Flags: DisUser Primary days: Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Secondary days: Sat Sun No access restrictions Expiration: (none) Pwdminimum: 6 Login Fails: 0 Pwdlifetime: 90 00:00 Pwdchange: (pre-expired) Last Login: (none) (interactive), (none) (non-interactive) Maxjobs: 0 Fillm: 128 Bytlm: 128000 Maxacctjobs: 0 Shrfillm: 0 Pbytlm: 0 Maxdetach: 0 BIOlm: 150 JTquota: 4096 Prclm: 8 DIOlm: 150 WSdef: 4096 Prio: 4 ASTlm: 300 WSquo: 8192 Queprio: 4 TQElm: 100 WSextent: 16384 CPU: (none) Enqlm: 4000 Pgflquo: 256000 Authorized Privileges: NETMBX TMPMBX Default Privileges: NETMBX TMPMBXWhen you add a new account, specify values for fields that you want to be different. Typically, changing the default values for limits priority, privileges, or the command interpreter is not necessary. As a result, you enter only the password, UIC, directory, owner, account, and device.
Note
Limits are also set by system parameters. To be effective, the limits you set through AUTHORIZE must be within the minimum limits determined by the corresponding system parameters (particularly those beginning with the PQL prefix).When you add a record to the UAF, create a directory for the new user. Specify the device name, directory name, and UIC in the UAF record. The following DCL command creates a directory for user ROBIN:
$ CREATE/DIRECTORY SYS$USER:[ROBIN] /OWNER_UIC=[ROBIN]
| #1 |
|---|
UAF> ADD ROBIN /PASSWORD=SP0152/UIC=[014,006] -
_/DEVICE=SYS$USER/DIRECTORY=[ROBIN]/OWNER="JOSEPH ROBIN" /ACCOUNT=INV
%UAF-I-ADDMSG, user record successfully added
%UAF-I-RDBADDMSGU, identifier ROBIN value: [000014,000006] added to
RIGHTSLIST.DAT
%UAF-I-RDBADDMSGU, identifier INV value: [000014,177777] added to
RIGHTSLIST.DAT
|
This example illustrates the typical ADD command and qualifiers. The resulting record from this command appears in the description of the SHOW command.
| #2 |
|---|
UAF> ADD WELCH /PASSWORD=SP0158/UIC=[014,051] -
_/DEVICE=SYS$USER/DIRECTORY=[WELCH]/OWNER="ROB WELCH"/FLAGS=DISUSER -
_/ACCOUNT=INV/LGICMD=SECUREIN
%UAF-I-ADDMSG, user record successfully added
%UAF-I-RDBADDMSGU, identifier WELCH value: [000014,000051] added to
RIGHTSLIST.DAT
UAF> MODIFY WELCH/FLAGS=(RESTRICTED,DISNEWMAIL,DISWELCOME, -
_NODISUSER,EXTAUTH)/NODIALUP=SECONDARY/NONETWORK=PRIMARY -
/CLITABLES=DCLTABLES/NOACCESS=(PRIMARY, 9-16, SECONDARY, 18-8)
%UAF-I-MDFYMSG, user records updated
|
The commands in this example add a record for a restricted account. Because of the number of qualifiers required, a MODIFY command is used in conjunction with the ADD command. This helps to minimize the possibility of typing errors.
In the ADD command line, setting the DISUSER flag prevents the user from logging in until all the account parameters are set up. In the MODIFY command line, the DISUSER flag is disabled (by specifying NODISUSER) to allow access to the account. The EXTAUTH flag causes the system to consider the user as authenticated by an external user name and password, not by the SYSUAF user name and password.
The record that results from these commands and an explanation of the restrictions the record imposes appear in the description of the SHOW command.
