Default authentication offers an application password security level that you invoke by specifying SECURITY APP_PW in your configuration file. This level requires that every client provide an application password as part of the process of joining the ATMI application. The administrator defines a single password for the entire ATMI application and gives the password only to authorized users.

To enable the APP_PW security level, follow these steps.

Ensure that you are working on the ATMI application MASTER machine and that the ATMI application is inactive.
Set the SECURITY parameter in the RESOURCES section of the UBBCONFIG file to APP_PW.
Load the configuration by running tmloadcf(1). The tmloadcf command parses UBBCONFIG and loads the binary TUXCONFIG file to the location referenced by the TUXCONFIG variable.
The system prompts you for a password. The password you enter may be up to 30 characters long. It becomes the password for the ATMI application and remains in effect until you change it by using the passwd command of tmadmin.
Distribute the application password to authorized users of the ATMI application through an offline means such as telephone or letter.
