Adding Users to the System
AUDIT-USER-ACTION-
FAIL
Specifies the conditions under 
which the Safeguard software 
creates an audit record of 
unsuccessful events 
attempted by this user.
When the Safeguard global 
configuration attributes 
AUDIT-CLIENT-OSS and 
AUDIT-OSS-FILTER are 
enabled, the AUDIT-USER-
ACTION-FAIL attribute takes 
effect for OSS auditing.
The default value is no 
auditing.
TEXT-DESCRIPTION  Specifies a string of 
descriptive text to be 
associated with the user 
authentication record.
The default value is no 
descriptive text.
BINARY-DESCRIPTION-
LENGTH
Specifies the length in bytes of 
the binary description to be 
associated with the user 
authentication record.
The default value is 0.
REMOTEPASSWORD Sets a remote password for a 
node in a network of NonStop 
systems.
The default value is no 
remote passwords.
However, when the 
Safeguard software is 
installed on an existing 
system, users keep their 
established remote 
passwords.
DEFAULT-PROTECTION Establishes default protection 
attributes for a user's disk 
files. The attributes are 
ACCESS, OWNER, and the 
auditing attributes. DEFAULT-
PROTECTION applies to any 
new files the user creates. 
The default value is no 
default protection. However, 
if default protection is 
specified for some, but not 
all, of the DEFAULT-
PROTECTION attributes, the 
unspecified attributes have 
the following default values: 
an empty access control list; 
no auditing; OWNER is the 
user for which DEFAULT-
PROTECTION is being 
specified.
