Creating a New User With User Passwords
User passwords are created and modified using the MPE/iX commands
:NEWUSER and :ALTUSER.
An Account Manager must be logged on to his or her account to execute the
following commands. System Managers need not be logged on to the account
to execute these commands, but must enter the account name when doing so.
To create a password for a new user, log on to the account and enter
:NEWUSER, followed by the required parameter username; PASS=password.
For example, enter:
:NEWUSER MANFRED;PASS=REDBARON
As a System Manager creating the same user while not logged on to the
account, enter the account name as well as the group name:
:NEWUSER MANFRED.JASTA11;PASS=REDBARON
User passwords assigned by Account or System Managers can be changed by
the user with the :PASSWORD command.
Modifying a User Password
To modify a user password, log on to the account and enter :ALTUSER,
followed by the required parameter username; PASS=password.
For example, enter:
:ALTUSER MANFRED;PASS=EIGHTY
As a System Manager modifying a user password while not logged onto the
account, enter the account name as well as the group name:
:ALTUSER MANFRED.JASTA11;PASS=EIGHTY
Modifying User Passwords with :PASSWORD
Users can change their own passwords with the :PASSWORD command. To
change a password, enter:
:PASSWORD
The system prompts for the required information. When using :PASSWORD, a
user may not replace an existing password with exactly the same password.
Removing User Passwords
To remove a user password, log on to the account and enter :ALTUSER,
followed by the required parameter username ;PASS=.
For example, enter:
:ALTUSER MANFRED;PASS=

to the account, enter the account name as well as the user name:
:ALTUSER MANFRED.JASTA11;PASS=
