Hi, I have read all the previous notes about captive/restricted account but there is one problem that rises from this disccussion. What happen is we are working with work station in VAXCluster environment? Let's assume that a user can login to a Cluster and not to a W.S. via a regular terminal (connected by DECserver) or by a work station that is a member in the Cluster. If we resrict his account, he will not be able to login from the W.S., & if we DO NOT restrict his account, he might take advantage when logged in from a terminal. Did any one think about a work around beyond managing 2 SYSAUF (Specific for work stations)? *-Doron-*

Define "take advantage". What do you wish to prevent a user from doing if they login from a CCT that you don't care about limiting them from doing if they login from a WS? Why is it necessary to restrict the user at all? Different customers will have different answers to these questions. Depending on the answers, you may be able to formulate a solution. You may not... | |||||
| 3448.2 | Another $0.02 on the restricted accounts | ALEXWS::ALEX | Bugs are coming in triplets ... | Wed Oct 10 1990 07:43 | 19 |
Another $0.02 on the issue. There are various SYSUAF process limits that should/may be different for WS vs. VT user. It depends on the environment, of course, but for instance : VT user uses the same application that allows other stuff to be run on WS screen which is not appropriate for the VT. There are many solutions for it, but 2 SYSUAFs is not a good one. The major caveat for 2 SYSUAF is password expiration. User should change TWO passwords: one for VT and one for WS. And what we need is just restricted account for WS users. Let them run only those applications, that system manager/application programmer wants them to run. Cheers, Alex | |||||
