LOGON Command
password
is the password associated with the user. You must include password if a pass-
word has been established for you. If you have a password, you must separate it
from your user name with a comma if you enter it before pressing RETURN. You
can also use the blind password feature by omitting the comma and password from
the LOGON command, then entering your password when prompted. For more
information about passwords, see the PASSWORD Program on page 8-115.
You can change your password as part of the logon sequence. Initially, the logon
dialog is the same as a normal logon. However, to indicate that you want to
change your password, type a comma at the end of your password. The system
prompts you for a new password and then requests reentry of the new password to
verify it. This dialog shows a sequence in which SUPPORT.JANE changes her
password from alpha4 to BigTop:
TACL 1> LOGON SUPPORT.JANE
Password: alpha4,
Enter new password: BigTop
Reenter new password: BigTop
The password for SUPPORT.JANE has been changed.
An alternative method of changing a password is to enter the current password,
the new password, and the verification of the new password on the same line. This
dialog shows this type of password change:
TACL 1> LOGON SUPPORT.JANE
Password alpha4, BigTop, BigTop
The password for SUPPORT.JANE has been changed.
Another option for changing the password is to enter the current and new
passwords on one line and the verification of the new password on the new line.
TACL 1> LOGON SUPPORT.JANE
Password alpha4, BigTop
Reenter new password: BigTop
The password for SUPPORT.JANE has been changed.
