HP OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual

RENAME

Changes the user name of the SYSUAF record (and, if specified, the corresponding identifier) while retaining the characteristics of the old record.

Note
RENAME/IDENTIFIER is documented as a separate command.

Format

RENAME oldusername newusername

Parameters

oldusername
Specifies the current user name in the SYSUAF.
newusername
Specifies the new name for the user. It can contain 1 to 12 alphanumeric characters and underscores. Although dollar signs are permitted, they are usually reserved for system names.

Qualifiers

/GENERATE_PASSWORD[=keyword]

/NOGENERATE_PASSWORD (default)
Invokes the password generator to create user passwords. Generated passwords can consist of 1 to 10 characters. Specify one of the following keywords:

BOTH Generate primary and secondary passwords.

CURRENT Do whatever the DEFAULT account does (for example, generate primary, secondary, both, or no passwords). This is the default keyword.

PRIMARY Generate primary password only.

SECONDARY Generate secondary password only.

When you modify a password, the new password expires automatically; it is valid only once (unless you specify /NOPWDEXPIRED). On login, users are forced to change their passwords (unless you specify /FLAGS=DISFORCE_PWD_CHANGE).
Note that the /GENERATE_PASSWORD and /PASSWORD qualifiers are mutually exclusive.
/MODIFY_IDENTIFIER (default)

/NOMODIFY_IDENTIFIER
Specifies whether the identifier associated with the user is to be modified in the rights database. This qualifier applies only when you modify the UIC or user name in the UAF record. By default, the associated identifiers are modified.
/PASSWORD=(password1[,password2])

/NOPASSWORD
Specifies up to two passwords for login. Passwords can be from 0 to 32 alphanumeric characters in length. The dollar sign ($) and underscore (_) are also permitted.
Uppercase and lowercase characters are equivalent. All lowercase characters are converted to uppercase before the password is encrypted. Avoid using the word password as the actual password.
Use the /PASSWORD qualifier as follows:

To set only the first password and clear the second, specify /PASSWORD=password.
To set both the first and second password, specify /PASSWORD=(password1, password2).
To change the first password without affecting the second, specify /PASSWORD=(password, "").
To change the second password without affecting the first, specify /PASSWORD=("", password).
To set both passwords to null, specify /NOPASSWORD.

When you modify a password, the new password expires automatically; it is valid only once (unless you specify /NOPWDEXPIRED). On login, the user is forced to change the password (unless you specify /FLAGS=DISFORCE_PWD_CHANGE).
Note that the /GENERATE_PASSWORD and /PASSWORD qualifiers are mutually exclusive.
When you create a new UAF record with the RENAME command, you must specify a password.

Description

The RENAME command renames a SYSUAF record. It changes the user name of the SYSUAF record (and, if specified, the corresponding identifier) while retaining the characteristics of the old record. Retention of these characteristics can be particularly helpful when a user's name changes.
Note that because password verification includes the user name as well as the password, an attempted login will fail when the user whose name has been changed attempts to log in with an old password. (Only null passwords can be effectively transferred from one user record to another by the RENAME command.) Make it a practice to include a new password when you use the RENAME command, and notify the user of the change. If you omit the /PASSWORD qualifier, you receive a warning message reminding you that the old password must be changed.
The user's network authorization records are automatically changed to the new name.

Examples

#1
UAF> RENAME HAWKES KRAMERDOVE/PASSWORD=MARANNKRA %UAF-I-PRACREN, proxies to HAWKES renamed %UAF-I-RENMSG, user record renamed %UAF-I-RDBMDFYMSG, identifier HAWKES modified

The command in this example changes the name of the account Hawkes to Kramerdove, modifies the user name identifier for the account, and renames all proxies to the account.

#2
UAF> RENAME HAWKES KRAMERDOVE %UAF-I-PRACREN, proxies to HAWKES renamed %UAF-I-RENMSG, user record renamed %UAF-W-DEFPWD, Warning: copied or renamed records must receive new password %UAF-I-RDBMDFYMSG, identifier HAWKES modified

UAF> RENAME HAWKES KRAMERDOVE
%UAF-I-PRACREN, proxies to HAWKES renamed
%UAF-I-RENMSG, user record renamed
%UAF-W-DEFPWD, Warning: copied or renamed records must receive 
  new password
%UAF-I-RDBMDFYMSG, identifier HAWKES modified

This example shows the warning message that the system displays if you fail to specify a new password with the RENAME command.

RENAME/IDENTIFIER

Renames an identifier in the rights database.

Format

RENAME/IDENTIFIER current-id-name new-id-name

Parameters

current-id-name
Specifies the name of an identifier to be renamed.
new-id-name
Specifies the new name for the identifier.

Qualifiers

None.

Description

The RENAME/IDENTIFIER command is functionally equivalent to the following AUTHORIZE command:

MODIFY/IDENTIFIER/NAME=new-id-name id-name

Example


UAF> RENAME/IDENTIFIER Q1SALES Q2SALES %UAF-I-RDBMDFYMSG, identifier Q1SALES modified

The command in this example renames the identifier Q1SALES to Q2SALES.

REVOKE/IDENTIFIER

Takes an identifier away from a user.

Format

REVOKE/IDENTIFIER id-name user-spec

Parameters

id-name
Specifies the identifier name. The identifier name is a string of 1 to 31 alphanumeric characters. The name can contain underscores and dollar signs. It must contain at least one nonnumeric character.
user-spec
Specifies the UIC identifier that uniquely identifies the user on the system. This type of identifier appears in alphanumeric format, not numeric format; for example, [GROUP1,JONES].

Description

The REVOKE/IDENTIFIER command edits RIGHTSLIST.DAT, removing the user's name from the list of those who hold a given identifier. The change does not affect the process rights list of any current processes.

Example


UAF> REVOKE/IDENTIFIER INVENTORY CRAMER %UAF-I-REVOKEMSG, identifier INVENTORY revoked from CRAMER

The command in this example revokes the identifier INVENTORY from the user Cramer. Cramer loses the identifier and any resources associated with it.
Note that because rights identifiers are stored in numeric format, it is not necessary to change records for users holding a renamed identifier.

SHOW

Displays reports for selected UAF records on the current SYS$OUTPUT device.

Note
SHOW/IDENTIFIER, SHOW/PROXY, and SHOW/RIGHTS are documented as separate commands.

Format

SHOW user-spec

Parameter

user-spec
Specifies the user name or UIC of the requested UAF record. If you omit the user-spec parameter, the UAF records of all users are listed. The asterisk (*) and percent sign (%) wildcard characters are permitted in the user name.

Qualifiers

/BRIEF
Specifies that a brief report be displayed. In the report, the Directory field displays one of the following items:

Disuser---The account has been disabled.
Expired---The account has expired.
A device and directory name---The login device and directory for the account (for example, DOCD$:[SMITH]).

If you omit the /BRIEF qualifier, AUTHORIZE displays a full report.
/FULL
Specifies that a full report be displayed, including identifiers held by the user. Full reports include the details of the limits, privileges, login flags, and the command interpreter as well as the identifiers held by the user. The password is not listed.
/EXACT
Controls whether the SHOW command matches the search string exactly or treats uppercase and lowercase letters as equivalents. Enclose the specified string within quotation marks (" "). Use /EXACT with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers.
/HIGHLIGHT[=keyword]

/NOHIGHLIGHT (default)
Identifies how to display the line that contains a string once it is found. The following keywords are valid:
BLINK
BOLD (default)
REVERSE
UNDERLINE

Use the /HIGHLIGHT qualifier with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers.
/PAGE[=keyword]

/NOPAGE (default)
Controls the information display on a screen. The following keywords are valid:

CLEAR_SCREEN Clear the screen before displaying the next page.

SCROLL Display a continuous stream of information.

SAVE[= n] Store information and enable the navigational keys listed in Table 5-1. By default, the command saves 5 pages. The maximum page width is 255 columns.

#2
UAF> SHOW [360,*] /BRIEF

The command in this example displays a brief report for every user with a group UIC of 360.

#3
UAF> SHOW WELCH

This command displays a full report for the restricted user WELCH. This display corresponds to the second example in the description of the ADD command.

Note that WELCH is a captive user who does not receive announcements of new mail or the welcome message when logging in. His login command file, SECUREIN.COM, is presumably a captive command file that controls all of his operations. (Such a command file never exits, but performs operations for its user and logs him out when appropriate.) The CAPTIVE flag prevents WELCH from escaping control of the command file by using Ctrl/Y or other means. Furthermore, he is restricted to logging in between the hours of 5:00 P.M. and 8:59 A.M. on weekdays and 9:00 A.M. and 5:59 P.M. on weekends. Although he is allowed to use dial-up lines at all times during the week, he is not allowed to log in over the network. On weekends, he is further restricted so that he cannot dial in at any time or use the DCL command SET HOST between the hours of 6:00 P.M. and 8:59 A.M.

SHOW/IDENTIFIER

Displays information about an identifier, such as its name, value, attributes, and holders, on the current SYS$OUTPUT device.

Format

SHOW/IDENTIFIER [id-name]

Parameter

id-name
Specifies an identifier name. The identifier name is a string of 1 to 31 alphanumeric characters. The name can contain underscores and dollar signs. It must contain at least one nonnumeric character. If you omit the identifier name, you must specify /USER or /VALUE.

Qualifiers

/BRIEF
Specifies a brief listing in which only the identifier name, value, and attributes are displayed. The default format is /BRIEF.
/FULL
Specifies a full listing in which the names of the identifier's holders are displayed along with the identifier's name, value, and attributes.
/USER=user-spec
Specifies one or more users whose identifiers are to be displayed. The user-spec can be a user name or a UIC. You can use the asterisk wildcard character (*) to specify multiple UICs or all user names. UICs must be in the form [*,*], [n,*], [*,n], or [n,n]. A wildcard user name specification (*) displays identifiers alphabetically by user name; a wildcard UIC specification ([*,*]) displays them numerically by UIC.
/VALUE=value-specifier
Specifies the value of the identifier to be listed. The following formats are valid for the value-specifier:

IDENTIFIER:n An integer value in the range of 65,536 to 268,435,455. You can also specify the value in hexadecimal (precede the value with %X) or octal (precede the value with %O).
To differentiate general identifiers from UIC identifiers, %X80000000 is added to the value you specify.

GID:n GID is the POSIX group identifier. It is an integer value in the range 0 to 16,777,215 (%XFFFFFF). The system will add %XA400.0000 to the value you specify and then enter this new value into the system RIGHTSLIST as an identifier.

UIC:uic A UIC value in the standard UIC format.

See also the screen control qualifiers listed under the SHOW command:
/EXACT

/HIGHLIGHT[=keyword]

/NOHIGHLIGHT (default)

/PAGE[=keyword]

/NOPAGE (default)

/SEARCH=string

/WRAP

/NOWRAP (default)

Description

The SHOW/IDENTIFIER command displays identifier names, values, attributes, and holders in various formats depending on the qualifiers specified. Two of these formats are illustrated in the following examples.

Examples

#1
UAF> SHOW/IDENTIFIER/FULL INVENTORY

This command would produce output similar to the following example:

Name Value Attributes INVENTORY %X80010006 NORESOURCE NODYNAMIC Holder Attributes ANDERSON NORESOURCE NODYNAMIC BROWN NORESOURCE NODYNAMIC CRAMER NORESOURCE NODYNAMIC

#2
UAF> SHOW/IDENTIFIER/USER=ANDERSON

This command displays the identifier associated with the user ANDERSON, as follows:
Name Value Attributes ANDERSON [000300,000015] NORESOURCE NODYNAMIC
The identifier is shown, along with its value and attributes. Note, however, that this is the same result you would produce had you specified ANDERSON's UIC with the following forms of the command:
UAF> SHOW/IDENTIFIER/USER=[300,015]
UAF> SHOW/IDENTIFIER/VALUE=UIC:[300,015]
