LOGON Command
LOGON Command
Use the LOGON command to establish communication with a TACL process. To enter
TACL commands interactively, you must first log on. However, when you execute
TACL commands from a command file (by specifying a disk file containing TACL
commands as the IN file when you start a new TACL process), you do not need to
include the LOGON command in the file.
group-name.user-name or group-id,user-id
is the group name and user name, or the group number and user number, of the
user who is logging on. The user identity must already be established. If you do not
have a user account, see your system administrator. To do a blind logon, enter
only LOGON followed by your group-name.user-name or group-id, user-
id and press RETURN. TACL then prompts you for your password.
If the TACL configuration NAMELOGON option is not set to or if Safeguard is
running and the Safeguard NAMELOGON flag is set to 0 (for
USER_AUTHENTICATE_ call), the group number and user number is not
accepted.
alias
is an alternate assigned name. Each alias must be unique within the local system.
An alias is a case-sensitive text string that can be up to 32 alphanumeric
characters in length. In addition to alphabetic and numeric characters, the
characters period (.), hyphen (-), and underscore(_) are permitted within the text
string. The first character of an alias must be alphabetic or numeric. For more
information on aliases, see the Safeguard Reference Manual.
Note. The LOGON command behavior depends on the Safeguard environment. If Safeguard
is not running on your system or if the USER_AUTHENTICATE procedure is not in the system
library, these logon options are not available:
•
alias
•
old-password, new-password
•
old-password, new-password, new-password.
