Logging In as a User

To Log In as a Regular User

1. Log in to the system using your user account name.

2. Enter your password.

   Note -

   Users must not disclose their passwords to another person, as that person may then have access to the data of the user and will not be uniquely identified or accountable. Note that disclosure can be direct, through the user deliberately disclosing his/her password to another person, or indirect, such as through writing it down, or choosing an insecure password. Trusted Solaris software provides protection against insecure passwords, but cannot prevent a user disclosing his/her password or writing it down.

   The Enable Logins dialog box, shown in Figure 4-1, is displayed if you are authorized to enable logins.

   If you see the error message:

   Logins are currently disabled.
   Please ask your system administrator to enable logins.

   then your user account was not assigned the Enable Login right. To fix, give the user the Enable Login right, or have someone else log in and enable logins.

3. Choose a login option and dismiss the dialog box.

   The Message Of the Day dialog box is displayed. In a multilevel session, the default is to log in at the lowest label in your label range. You can also restrict your session to a single label.

4. Click OK to accept the default given to you by the security administrator.

   Once the login process is complete, the Trusted Solaris screen appears briefly, and you are in a CDE session with four workspaces. If your user account is configured to display labels, the label of your session (a user account cannot be ADMIN_LOW) is displayed in the trusted stripe.
