Security Management - Digital Equipment MUXserver 100 Reference Manual

3.1.1 Security Management
The SET PRIVILEGED command gives you privileged status and makes your
ternlinal the privileged terminal (refer to Chapter 2, Section 2.1, ENTERING
PRIVILEGED STATUS). This command requires the privileged password
which helps maintain the security of the server and terminals. For example, to
acquire privileged status with the privileged password, A1B2C3, use this
command:
LOCAL> SET PRIVILEGED
Password> A1B2C3 (not echoed>
You return to nonprivileged status by logging out or by entering the SET
NOPRIVILEGED comnland.
LOCAL> SET NOPRIVILEGED
The privileged commands cannot be used until you re-enter privileged status
with the SET PRIVILEGED command.
In Chapter 2, Section 2.2.1 (Setting Up the Privileged Password on the
MUXserver 100) and Section 2.3 (SETTING UP THE LOGIN PASSWORD)
discuss how you set up the privileged and login passwords. To maintain secu-
rity, change these passwords regularly. Use the SET LOGIN PASSWORD or
SET PRIVILEGED PASSWORD command to select a new password. This
password takes effect immediately.
You should also set up the new password with DEFINE LOGIN PASSWORD
or DEFINE PRIVILEGED PASSWORD. The new password then remains in
effect each time the server is initialized.
For example, to change the privileged password from A1B2C3 to G7H8I9, en-
ter the following:
LOCAL> SET PRIVILEGED PASSWORD
Password> G7HSI9 (not echoed>
Ver;f;cat;on> G7HSI9 (not echoed>
LOCAL> DEFINE PRIVILEGED PASSWORD
Password> G7H8I9 (not echoed)
Ver;f;cat;on> G7HSI9 (not echoed>
LOCAL>
