4. Use the following command to create the local SAL account file:
# vxsalcmd private.universe.com:2802 -f /tmp/maintain_user
To confirm that the password has been set up correctly, enter the following command:
# vxsalcmd private.universe.com:2802 user list
This command should now list all the configured users without prompting for the SAL
administrator’s password.
5. Remove the /tmp/add_user and /tmp/maintain_user files as these contain
passwords in clear text.
Note If the SAL user’s password is not stored locally, ISP attempts to authenticate with SAL as
the user admin with the password passwd.
If ISP fails to authenticate with SAL, it can neither see nor use any of the associated storage
attributes.
