HP OpenVMS Systems

security server not active? (SERVERNOTACTIVE)

» close window

The Question is:

 
why do i receive this message upon entering
the command ... $show intrusion
 

The Answer is :

 
  Probably because the security server has been disabled?
 
  Some sites chose not to start the security server, and (if following
  the documentation) have also set the appropriate flags (bits 4 and 5,
  most commonly) within the SECURITY_POLICY system parameter that allow
  OpenVMS to operate without the security server active.
 
  The following command can be used to start the security server:
 
    $ @SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP SECURITY_SERVER
 
	--
 
  From HELP/MESSAGE SERVERNOTACTIVE:
 
 
 SERVERNOTACTIVE,  security server is not active
 
  Facility:     SECSRV, Security Server
 
  Explanation:  A request was made of the security server but the server is
                not currently running.
 
  User Action:  Start the security server and retry the request.
