Initial Password
STATIC-FAILED-LOGON-RESET-TIME = * NONE *
GUARDIAN DEFAULT SECURITY = OOOO
GUARDIAN DEFAULT VOLUME = $SYSTEM.NOSUBVOL
Passwords Ending with ‘&’
The TACL and SAFECOM command interpreters treat the ampersand (&) as a line
continuation character. Therefore, special attention is required while providing
passwords, which end with an ampersand (&) in SAFECOM and while logging on with
this password in TACL.
The following examples explain how to provide these passwords in SAFECOM.
Example 1:
To add a user TEST.USER1 as user ID 40,1, using ‘password&’ as the initial
password, enter the following SAFECOM command:
=add user test.user1,40,1,password password&;
To confirm if the user has been added successfully, enter the following command:
=info user test.user1
GROUP.USER USER-ID OWNER LAST-MODIFIED LAST-LOGON STATUS
TEST.USER1 40,1 255,255 31DEC99, 16:58 * NONE * THAWED
=
To add a user TEST.USER1 as user ID 40,1, using ‘password&’ as the initial
password, AUDIT-USER-ACTION-FAIL as ALL, and AUDIT-USER-ACTION-PASS as
REMOTE, enter the following SAFECOM command:
=add user test.user1,40,1,password password&&
=,audit-user-action-fail all, audit-user-action-pass remote

While logging on in T
ACL, if your password ends with an ‘&’, enter an additional ‘&’
after the password.
Assume that TEST.USER1 is logging on in TACL using ‘password&’ password:
1. Enter the password as ‘password&&’, and press the Enter key
.
2. On being prompted, press the Enter key again.
