Enabling and disabling MVSP users

A user has to be enabled to be able to use the server.

  • For D3 systems, this is the user as defined in the D3 users file.

  • For mvBase systems, the server component of MVSP has its own users file since mvBase does not employ the concept of users.

Procedure

  1. In the MVSP account, open the MVSP MAINTENANCE menu by entering the MVSP.MENU command from TCL. For example:
    :MVSP.MENU
    

    The MVSP MAINTENANCE menu displays.

      Note: (mvBase Only) Since the concept of users does not pertain to mvBase, mvBase users will be prompted to create the user and provide a password for the user.
    • To disable a user, select option 3 and respond appropriately to the ensuing prompts.
      Note: (mvBase Only) Since the concept of users does not pertain to mvBase, mvBase users will be asked whether you want to delete the user being disabled. Type Y if you want to delete the user.
