Command Function
ADD ALIAS Adds a user alias to the system and creates an authentication record for
that alias with the user attribute values specified in the command. For
any unspecified attributes, the current default values are used. (To set
default values, use the SET ALIAS command.) After being added, a
user can log on to the system with the user alias.
ALTER ALIAS Changes the value of one or more user attributes in an alias
authentication record.
DELETE ALIAS Deletes a user alias from the system. The user cannot log on to the
system with the deleted user alias.
FREEZE ALIAS Temporarily suspends a user’s ability to log on using the specified alias.
INFO ALIAS Displays the existing attribute values defined for a specific user alias.
RESET ALIAS Sets one or more current default user attributes to predefined values.
SET ALIAS Sets one or more default user attribute values to specified values. When
a user alias is added, the current default attributes are used for any
attribute not specified in the ADD ALIAS command.
SHOW ALIAS Displays the current default values of the user attributes.
THAW ALIAS For a frozen alias, restores the user’s ability to log on to the system with
that alias.
