6.4 Setting Passwords, Lockwords, and UDCs

1. Review account security.

   Refer to Manager's Guide to MPE/iX Security and the HP Security Monitor/iX Managers Guide.

2. Set passwords for HP recommended accounts, if these accounts do not have passwords, see Table 6-1 "Recommended accounts for passwords".

   
     :ALTACCT acctname;PASS=password
   
   

   Password recommended accounts.

   Table 6-1 Recommended accounts for passwords

   BIND	HPOFFICE	HPSKTS	JAVA	SYS
   CLL	HPOPTMGT	HPSPOOL	RJE	SYSLOG
   CONV	HPPL85	INDHPE	SAMBA	SYSMGR
   HPLANMGR	HPPL87	INTSEUP	SNADS	TELESUP
   HPNCS	HPPL89	ITF3000	SUPPORT	WWW

3. Set passwords for users that were created or modified to have OP (System Supervisor) and/or PM (Privilege Mode) capabilities, see Table 6-1 "Recommended accounts for passwords".

   
     :ALTUSER username;PASS=password
   
   

   Password Recommended Users

   MANAGER.SYS	FIELD.HPPL85	MGR.SNADS	MGR.JAVA
   MGR.HPOFFICE	MGR.TELESUP	MGR.SYSMGR

4. Confirm that passwords are set for SYS account and user MANAGER.SYS.

5. Identify system files.

   
     :SYSGEN
     sysgen>SYSFILE
     sysfile>SHOW
   
   

   Record the list of files.

   
     sysfile>EXIT
     sysgen>EXIT
   
   

6. Reapply or add lockwords to the system, as required. Refer to your list for the previously lockworded files.

   
     :RENAME filename,filename/lockword
   
   

7. Enable UDCs. Purge the COMMAND file created during the process and rename your temporary COMMAND file.

   
     :PURGE COMMAND.PUB.SYS
     :RENAME command_name,COMMAND.PUB.SYS
   
   

8. If your users plan to use POSIX features on MPE/iX, and if it is not already set, set a special UDC.

   
     :SETCATALOG HPPXUDC.PUB.SYS;SYSTEM;APPEND
   
   

9. Log on to activate the UDCs.

   
     :HELLO MANAGER.SYS,PUB;HIPRI
