Third, the embedded spaces are retained and the password is checked against the
initials of the user name. The password must not be the initials from the user
name. For example, if a user name is Clair Rebecca New, the following
password is invalid:
CRN
The password must not contain three or more consecutive instances of the same
character. For example, the following passwords are invalid:
HAL9000, AAABBB, 11222233
You cannot reassign your current password as your new password.
Your new password must not be in the current password history file.
NonStop NET/MASTER MS keeps a file of passwords you have used in the past.
The number of entries in this file is configured by your system manager. For
example, if the password history file length is 32, you cannot reassign any of your
previous 32 passwords as a new password.
Changing Your User
Name, Location, or
Telephone Number
In addition to changing your password, you can also change your user name, location,
or telephone number by selecting option P (Password Change for your User) from the
User ID Management Services Primary Menu screen.
You do not have to change your password from the UMS Details
(Function=REQUEST) screen. Simply position your cursor on the field you wish to
change, enter a new value, and press the F3 (PF03) function key to update the UMS
database.
Except for the initial OCS command (see Note, below), your password, user name,
location, and telephone number are the only aspects of your user ID definition record
you can change if you do not have authority to access extended UMS features. Your
user ID definition record is updated immediately.
For example, if you display the User Definition List screen, the screen will show the
changes you have made to your user name, location, or telephone number.
Note You can issue a PROFILE INITCMD command to specify a command to automatically execute whenever
you enter OCS. When you issue the PROFILE INITCMD command, it dynamically replaces the initial
OCS command value on page 5 of your user ID definition record (OCS Details). The PROFILE INITCMD
command is discussed in detail in Section 4, “Operator Control Services (OCS).”
