ALTER USER Command
If you omit startup-param-text, the string is set to null. (No text is supplied
in the startup message.)
TEXT-DESCRIPTION "[text]"
specifies a string of characters to replace the existing text description for this
record. Because SAFECOM allows a maximum command length of 528
characters, the specified text string must contain fewer than 528 characters.
You can specify a longer descriptive text string by using the Safeguard SPI
interface, as described in the Safeguard Management Programming Manual.
All text within the quotation marks is considered descriptive text.
If you specify TEXT-DESCRIPTION "" without any text between the quotation
marks, the text description for this record is removed.
RESET-TEXT-DESCRIPTION
resets the text description field to a null value (no descriptive text).
RESET-BINARY-DESCRIPTION
resets the binary description field to zero length and null values. For more
information about the binary description field, see the Safeguard Management
Programming Manual.
WHERE expression
causes the command to apply to only authentication records for users who belong
to the groups specified by expression.
expression has the form:
group [ {AND | OR} group ] ...
group is one of these:
GROUP [NAME]=group-name
GROUP NUMBER=group-num
PRIMARY-GROUP [NAME]=group-name
PRIMARY-GROUP NUMBER=group-num
Wild-card characters are not allowed in the group names or group numbers.
Multiple groups within the expression can be enclosed within parentheses to
change the order of evaluation of a complex expression. See Examples 4 and 5 on
page 5-22.
group-name is case-sensitive. Therefore, you must enter alphabetic characters in
an administrative group name in uppercase.
Note. The RESET-BINARY-DESCRIPTION field is supported only on systems running
G06.27 and later G-series RVUs and H06.06 and later H-series.
