About Alias Authentication Records
You can have one or more user aliases. An alias is an alternate name that you can use
to log on to the system. An alias has its own authentication record with attributes that
can differ from those in your user authentication record. For example, your alias can
have a different password and password expiration date.
When you are logged on using an alias, the Safeguard sof
tware makes access
decisions based on your underlying user ID. For example, if you log on as J-Brown,
your ability to access protected objects is based on the access authorities of user ID
8,54.
If you have an alias, you can view the alias authentication record with the INFO ALIAS
command. The INFO ALIAS command has several display options. The DETAIL option
in the following example selects all attributes. You can use other options to select
specific portions of the record. For example, you can use the AUDIT option to select
the audit attributes. For information on other INFO ALIAS options, see the Safeguard
Reference Manual.
