User Alias Security Commands
Safeguard Reference Manual — 520618-030
6 - 20
ALTER ALIAS Command
RESET-TEXT-DESCRIPTION
resets the text description field for this alias to a null value (the alias has no text
description).
RESET-BINARY-DESCRIPTION
resets the binary description field for this alias to zero length and null values. For
more information about the binary description field, see the Safeguard
Management Programming Manual.
Considerations
•
Changing your logon password
Only the owner of an alias authentication record, the owner’s group manager and
super ID can use the ALTER ALIAS command to change a password for an alias.
However, users can change their alias password by logging on with the alias and
changing the password during the logon dialog. (For more information, see the
Safeguard User’s Guide.)
A user logged on as an alias can also use the PASSWORD program to change the
alias password.
When you change your logon password, your Safeguard authentication record is
automatically updated.
Your password is subject to restrictions defined by the configuration attributes
described in Section 16, Safeguard Subsystem Commands.
•
Adding or deleting default protection while a user is logged on as an alias
If you add or delete default protection for a user while that user is logged on as an
alias, and the user subsequently creates a disk file during that session, the FUP
INFO and T
ACL FILEINFO displays are not updated until the next time the disk
file’s protection record is altered.
•
Changing Guardian default security while an alias is logged on
If you change the Guardian default disk file security for an alias while that alias is
logged on, the change does not take effect until the next time the alias logs on or
issues a Guardian VOLUME command.
Note. The RESET-TEXT-DESCRIPTION field is supported only on systems running
G06.27 and later G-series RVUs and H06.06 and later H-series.
Note. The RESET-BINARY-DESCRIPTION field is supported only on syst
ems running
G06.27 and later G-series RVUs and H06.06 and later H-series.
