Using a Model User ID A model user ID is one that contains attributes that can be replicated for additional
users. By creating a model user ID, you enable users to create their own user ID
definition records.
To configure a model user ID, follow these steps:
1. Create a user ID definition record with the attributes you want the users to
possess.
Follow the instructions under “Adding a User ID Definition Record,” earlier in
this section.
Be sensitive to security issues when activating features, specifying command
authority levels, defining a user procedure library, and setting other attributes for
a model user ID; the attributes are replicated for every user who creates a user ID
definition record based on the model user ID.
2. Set the MODLUSER operand of the SYSPARMS command to the name of the
model user ID. The command takes the following form:
SYSPARMS MODLUSER= user-ID
where user-ID is the user ID you added in Step 1.
After you have defined the model user ID, users can then create their own copies of
the model user ID by logging on with any undefined user ID and entering the
password assigned to the model user ID. After the user logs on, NonStop
NET/MASTER MS adds a user ID definition record (a record based on the model
record) to the UMS database.
For additional information about the MODLUSER operand of the SYSPARMS
command, refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Command Reference Manual.
When a user logs on with the undefined user ID and the password of the model user
ID, the user is presented with an UMS : User Details panel and prompted to change
the password and supply the personal information normally contained in a user ID
definition record. See the discussion of the UMS User Details panel, earlier in this
section, for a description of the fields on the panel.
