Adding a Record From the Command Line

  1. To add an access record, start the access file manager and select option [1] from the main menu.

    You are prompted to enter a client machine name. The prompt looks something like this:

    A value of "*" for client machine name means that this
    record will match all clients for which there are no
    other records.  You cannot use alias names. The name
    must be the official machine name.
    Enter the official machine name [*]:
  2. Enter a client machine name or accept the default value.

    You are prompted to enter the client username.

    If no client user name is entered it implies any user.
    Enter client user name []:
  3. Enter a client user name or accept the default value.

    You are prompted to enter the local username.

    A value of 'same as client' for local user name means
    to use the client user name.  If no local user name is
    entered DEFAULT_USER is used.
    Enter the local user name [same as client]:
  4. Enter a local user name or accept the default value.

    You are prompted to enter a password.

  5. If you want the specified user to have a password, enter the password. The password characters are not echoed on the screen.

    You are asked to enter the password a second time to verify that it was entered correctly.

    If no password is entered it implies none.
    Enter password []:
    Retype password for verification:

    Should the password verification fail, you will see the following message:

    Mismatch - try again.
    If no password is entered it implies none.
    Enter password []:

    You are prompted to enter a umask.

    The umask defines the file creation mask for all files
    created by this user.  It must be an octal value between
    000 and 777.
    Enter umask [002]:
  6. Enter a umask value or accept the default value. If an invalid umask value is entered, you will see this message:
    Invalid value for umask - try again.

    After you specify a valid umask, the access file manager adds the record to the server access file.

    Record added.
