MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual (32650-90877)

Chapter 3 71
Command List I
Commands ABORT to BYE
process of any job/session initiated by the user. This parameter is specified
as AS, BS, CS, DS, or ES, but cannot be greater than that specified with
the NEWACCT or ALTACCT commands. The
subqueuename defined for the
user is checked against the
subqueuename defined for the account at logon,
and the lower priority of the two is used as the maximum priority
restricting all processes of the job/session. Also, the priority requested by
the user at logon is checked against the
subqueuename defined for the user,
and the user is granted the lower of these two values. Default is CS.
CAUTION Processes capable of executing in the AS or BS subqueues can deadlock the
system. By assigning nonpriority processes to these subqueues, you may
prevent critical system processes from executing. Exercise extreme care when
assigning processes to the AS or BS subqueue.
localattribute Defined at the installation site, this arbitrary double word bit map is
used to further classify users. While it is not part of standard MPE/iX
security provisions, programmers may define it (through the WHO intrinsic)
to enhance the security of their own programs. The bit map for the user
local attributes must be a subset of the bit map for the account local
attributes. The ALTUSER command checks the local attributes of the user
with those of the account. Default is double word 0 (null).
homegroupname The name of an existing group assigned as the home group for this user.
The first user established when an account is created, by default, has PUB
assigned as the home group. Subsequent new users, by default, have no
home group assigned. If no home group is assigned, the user must always
specify an existing group when logging on.
uid User ID to be altered for the account manager in the user database. The
uid parameter must be a unique positive (non-zero) 32-bit integer.
Req USERPASS=REQ specifies that all users in the account must have a
non-blank password. It is available only if the HP Security Monitor has
been installed.
Opt USERPASS=OPT specifies that users in this account may or may not have
passwords. If you do not use the USERPASS parameter, the old value
remains. It is available only if the HP Security Monitor has been installed.
Expired The password expires immediately. The user cannot logon without
selecting a new password. It is only available if the HP Security Monitor
has been installed.
Operation Notes
The ALTUSER command allows the account manager to change the
password , capabilities,
processing subqueue, security checking, and home group currently defined for a user. More
than one of these attributes may be changed at a time, by entering multiple keyword
parameters on a single command line, using the semicolon (;) delimiter.
To change an attribute, enter the keyword and its new value. When an entire keyword
parameter group is omitted from the ALTUSER command, the corresponding value for the
