Establishing A Global Remote Password - HP Guardian User Manual

Managing Users and Security
2,10) on system \EAST with an EXIT command or with CTRL-Y, the TACL program
displays the message:
Are you sure you want to stop this TACL
Reply YES (or Y) to stop the remote TACL process.
If ADMIN.BILL enters a LOGOFF command, the TACL program terminates and
displays this message:
Exiting from TACL on \EAST
A remote user can be prevented from becoming a local user if the local super ID
specifies A (any local user) as the execute security for the TACL program file. This
prevents anyone on a remote system from starting a TACL process on the local system.
Also, a user who has the same user name as a user in another system cannot log on to
that system without knowing the local password for that user name. For example,
ADMIN.BILL on system \WEST cannot log onto system \EAST if ADMIN.BILL at
\EAST has a local password that is unknown to ADMIN.BILL at \WEST.

Establishing a Global Remote Password

In some networks, it is not preferable for all users to have access to all systems.
However, it is convenient to allow network access for certain users without forcing them
to type or even know all of the required REMOTEPASSWORD commands. In this case,
a global remote password can be established for these users.
At each system, a user named NET.ACCESS is established and these commands are
issued:
10> LOGON NET.ACCESS
12> PASSWORD local-password
13> REMOTEPASSWORD \WEST, global-password
14> REMOTEPASSWORD \EAST, global-password
15> REMOTEPASSWORD \NYNY, global-password
18> REMOTEPASSWORD \system-n, global-password
The REMOTEPASSWORD command is issued for each system on the network. The
global remote password is the same for all systems and is known only to the system
managers. The local password is different for each system and is given only to users
who are allowed to access all systems on the network.
Only the users who know the local password can log on as NET.ACCESS. While logged
on as NET.ACCESS, these users can access remote files. For example, this command
lets users access remote files secured for access by NET.ACCESS.
