Managing Users
This section describes various tasks for managing users.
Providing a Contact Name and Access Server Location
The SET/DEFINE/CHANGE SYSTEM command allows you to provide all access
server users with a person’s name to contact in case of problems. This command also
allows you to specify the location of the access server.
Example: Providing a Contact Name and Access Server Location
The following example shows how to identify Bob G as the access server contact, and
Building 2, Lab 3 as the location of the access server:
Local> CHANGE SYSTEM CONTACT "Bob G"
Local> CHANGE SYSTEM LOCATION "Building 2, Lab 3"
You can use the SHOW/LIST SYSTEM command to display this information.
Specifying Preferred Service for LAT or Telnet Resources
The following lists the results of enabling a preferred service on a port:
• Without AUTOCONNECT enabled (refer to Specifying AUTOCONNECT in
this chapter), the port user connects to a particular resource by entering only the
CONNECT command. With AUTOCONNECT enabled, the access server
automatically connects the port to the preferred service at login.
• The user can switch to local mode at any time and make connections to other
available services.
When you specify any LAT or Telnet resource to be a preferred service, the host or
service name, node name, and port name are limited to 16 characters each.
For the LAT protocol:
To set a LAT service as a preferred service, the port’s default protocol must be set to
LAT.
Example: Enabling a Preferred LAT Service
The following example shows how to enable the LAT service, FILES, as the preferred
service on port 5:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 PREFERRED FILES
You can specify that the connection be made to a particular node and/or port name of
the LAT service.
