Installation guide

Workaround: Set passwords through /usr/tcb/bin/dxchpwd or the

/usr/bin/passwd command when the C1Crypt Encryption type is

chosen.

• Do not set a template Encryption Type to C1Crypt as this will invalidate

the template.

Workaround: Set the C1Crypt Encryption type for the user from the

Create/Modify User dialog.

• Account Manager does not enforce the minimum/maximum password

length limitation when setting passwords.

Workaround: Set passwords through /usr/tcb/bin/dxchpwd or the

/usr/bin/passwd command if the minimum/maximum password

length limitation is necessary.

• The Pointer Focus Prompt message in the status line of the Icon Box will

display Delete instead of Retire when the mouse pointer is in the Retire

toolbar icon.

• Error messages generated from the Create/Modify Template dialog box

refer to the user name when they should refer to the template name.

• On enhanced security system, you typically retire users instead of

deleting them. However, there are times when you might want to delete a

user account. Account Manager supports retiring user accounts but not

deleting them.

Workaround: To delete a user account you must do the following:

1. Manually edit the /etc/passwd and /etc/group ﬁles to remove

references to the user.

2. Use the following command to remove the user from the protected

password database:

# /usr/tcb/bin/edauth -r <user name>

• Renaming a user by changing the Username ﬁeld of the Create/Modify

User dialog box in Modify mode does not clean up the protected

password database entry for the old name.

Workaround: Use the following command to remove the dangling

protected password database entry:

# /usr/tcb/bin/edauth -r <user name>

• Do not rename a template by changing the Template name ﬁeld of the

Create/Modify Template dialog box in Modify mode. Account Manager

actually creates a new template without removing the old template.

However, the old template’s icon is removed from the Icon Box.

Workaround: Restart Account Manager to restore the former template

icon. Use the Delete Toolbar icon or the Edit->Delete... option from the

Base System Software Notes 4–11
