User account and security commands

This section contains commands that are used to maintain command-line interface (CLI) user accounts and security.

The following commands are used to add, modify, delete, and show CLI user accounts and security information:

The chpass command changes the password expiration time and the number of login attempts for a storage complex.

The chuser command modifies and locks or unlocks a DS CLI or a DS Storage Manager user account. Users that do not have administrator authority, use this command to change an expired password and create a password that is not known to the administrator who created their account.

The lsuser command generates a report that lists the storage image user account names and access authority levels.

The managepwfile command creates a password file for an existing ESS or DS user account. This command processes the password requirements for 2105, 2107, and 1750 systems.

The mkuser command creates a DS CLI or a DS Storage Manager user account.

The rmuser command removes a storage image user account. CLI users with administrative authority use this command to delete a user account file.

The showpass command generates a report that lists the number of days until the password expires and the number of failed logins that are associated with the password.

The showuser command generates a report that displays the details for an individual storage image user account.
