the current password, the provided user-name will be deleted. Three unsuccessful
attempts will abort this process.
Changing a User’s Password
The following command needs to be run to change the existing password of a user:
useradm changepwd file-name [user-name]
where,
file-name
is the name of the password file
user-name
is the name of the user whose password is to be changed
After executing this statement, you will be prompted to supply the old password. If the
the correct old password is provided, you will be prompted further to supply new
password. However, useradm will abort the password changing process after three
unsuccessful attempts.
Example of Password Administration
These commands create a new password file, and then add the user tristen who is
assigned the password play-group:
useradm create /usr/tandem/webserver/users
useradm add /usr/tandem/webserver/users tristen play-group
Redirecting Access
You can use the Redirect command in a Region directive to redirect requests to an
alternate URL. This feature is especially useful when you move server contents (in part
or in whole) to a different host machine. Instead of advertising the new URL, you can
simply redirect requests to it.
The function of the Redirect command is similar to that of the Filemap command.
Instead of translating a request to a different path, as the Filemap directive does, the
Redirect command directs a request to a different URL.
The Redirect command has a status option that enables you to specify whether a
file has moved temporarily or permanently. When a request is satisfied by redirection,
the iTP Secure WebServer reports this status to the client as an HTTP status code.
There are two approaches to redirecting requests to an alternate URL:
1. You can use a Redirect command to redirect requests to an alternate location
that has a different file structure from that of the original location:
Redirect alt-url
