psmgr Commands
The psmgr utility is an interactive program. It reads commands and operands from your
computer, and prompts you for input when necessary. You can also send a file of commands
to the utility, structuring each command so that no input is required.
The commands and operands are positional, and they must be separated by blank spaces.
If you give an insufficient number of operands, the utility prompts you for the remaining
operands. Password operands, which are obtained with a prompt, are not echoed back to
the computer.
psmgr Command Details
ADD
adds a new user to the password table.
Syntax
add username passwd passwd privilege
[ip_addr|-] [expiretime|-] [group|-]
[timeout|-] [failures|-] [class|-]
Note: The new user's password expires during the first logon to SPD Server.
Arguments
username
the user ID of an SPD Server user, which is restricted to 8 characters. The first character
of the username can be either an alpha or an underscore. The remaining characters can
be either an apha, numeric, or underscore. The SPD Server user ID does not have to
correspond to any system user ID.
passwd
the user's password, which is restricted to 8 characters. The psmgr table requires a
password with a minimum of 6 characters - at least one character must be numeric, and
at least one character must be alphabetic. The argument is repeated to verify the
password.
privilege
an authorization level number from 0 to 7. The authorization level number assigns
access privileges to the user.
The numbers 0-3 are equivalent. Use the numbers 0-3 to specify a normal, non-
privileged user.
The numbers 4-7 are equivalent. Use the numbers 4-7 to specify a special user. Special
users can update the password table and override any ACL restrictions on SPD Server
tables. You might want to restrict special privileges to only the SPD Server user ID and
password for yourself, the SPD Server administrator.
ip_addr
a numerical IP address; or a dash (-), which indicates that no IP address is specified.
Use the IP address to restrict the user's access to SPD Server to that specific IP address.
Note: The IP address is not verified.
