Concerns for the TACL User
After you log off, the system normally returns you to a TACL or Safeguard prompt.
Verify that the system has returned you to the appropriate prompt to be sure the
system has logged you off. If the application program logs you off, be sure to wait for
evidence that the application has logged you off before you leave your terminal.
Concerns for the TACL User
If you frequently use the TACL product for your operations, you should understand the
additional security mechanisms available to you through it. These include both
Guardian and Safeguard mechanisms.
TACL Features
The TACL command interpreter provides a terminal user with a general user interface
to other programs. You can enter commands to call other programs, including HP
utilities and applications. For example, you use the TACL command interpreter to:
•
Edit and print documents
•
Read and send electronic mail
•
Run application programs
•
Compile and debug programs
•
Manage the system
How the System Identifies Users
The system knows you by your assigned user name and its corresponding user ID.
Also, each user name has an associated private password. When you log on, you tell
the system your user name (or user ID) and your password. If someone tries to log on
under your user name (or user ID) but fails to enter the correct password, the logon
operation fails.
If you have a user alias, you can also log on using that alias. For more information
about aliases, see Assigning User Aliases on page 3-10.
User Names
Your user name is in the form:
group-name.member-name
where group-name is the name of the administrative group to which you are
assigned, and member-name is the assigned name that distinguishes you from other
members of your administrative group.
