SET ALIAS Command
When access for an alias expires, the user cannot log on to the system with that
alias, but the alias authentication record is not deleted.
GUARDIAN DEFAULT attributes are equivalent to using the Guardian DEFAULT
command.
Setting the Guardian default file security or default subvolume with the GUARDIAN
SECURITY or GUARDIAN VOLUME attributes is equivalent to using the Guardian
DEFAULT command. Similarly, the DEFAULT command can be used to change
these attributes when Safeguard is running.
PASSWORD-EXPIRES takes precedence over PASSWORD-MUST-CHANGE.
If the PASSWORD-EXPIRES and PASSWORD-MUST-CHANGE attributes are set
in the same command, the setting of the PASSWORD-EXPIRES attribute takes
precedence over the PASSWORD-EXPIRES date calculated as a result of setting
the PASSWORD-MUST-CHANGE attribute.
Examples
The group manager for group 14 enters the following SET and ADD commands to add
a temporary alias for user 14,22. The user cannot log on with this alias after noon on
September 21, 1993.
First the group manager issues the SET ALIAS commands:
=SET ALIAS PASSWORD PeaNut
=SET ALIAS USER-EXPIRES 21 SEP 2005, 12:00
=SET ALIAS AUDIT-AUTHENTICATE-PASS all
=SET ALIAS GUARDIAN VOLUME $data2.arthur
=SET ALIAS TEXT-DESCRIPTION "Alias for user 14,22"
Then the group manager issues the SHOW ALIAS command to display the changes
that have taken place:
=SHOW ALIAS
