Configuring Access to a LAT Service
Specifying the Service Password
An optional service password restricts access to a service. When a service contains a
password, the access server prompts you for the password before allowing you to use
the service.
There are two characteristics that you need to specify: SERVICE PASSWORD and
PASSWORD LIMIT.
The service password can be up to 16 ASCII characters.
Example: Assigning a Service Password
The following example shows two ways to assign a password to the service
LN03_PRINT:
Local> DEFINE SERVICE LN03_PRINT PASSWORD
Password> BLIGH (not echoed)
Verification> BLIGH (not echoed)
Local>
or
Local> DEFINE SERVICE LN03_PRINT PASSWORD "BLIGH"
Caution
Do not specify passwords for services such as printers that you set up for host-initiated
requests.
Example: Clearing the Service Password
To clear a previously set service password, use empty quotation marks as shown in the
following example:
Local> CHANGE SERVICE LN03_PRINT PORT PASSWORD ""
The password limit characteristic determines the number of times that the access server
prompts you for the correct password before it ends the connection requests. The
password limit applies to all password-protected access server operations.
The range for the password limit characteristic is 0 to 10, and the factory-set default is
3. The following shows how to change the limit to 5:
Local> CHANGE SERVER PASSWORD LIMIT 5
