Managing User Accounts on the Primary and Secondary Servers

To manage user accounts, LSMS utilizes the lsmsdb command. This command allows you to add and delete user accounts, change passwords, and list users. The lsmsdb command makes the appropriate changes in the system /etc/password file.

The following topics explain how to use the lsmsdb command to administer LSMS user accounts:

• Adding a User

• Deleting a User

• Setting the System Level Password Timeout Using the Command Line

• Setting the User Level Password Timeout Using the Command Line

• Displaying All LSMS User Accounts

  Note: The lsmsdb command modifies files on the local system (the system on which lsmsdb is executed). It does not modify or update global network databases.

  Therefore, if you add or modify users on one server, make the same change on the other server. Sometimes, for specific administration purposes, you might add or modify users on the servers without adding or modifying them on the administration console.

The following topics explain how to use the LSMS GUI to administer LSMS user accounts:

• Setting the System Level Password Timeout Using the GUI

• Setting the User Level Password Timeout Interval Using the GUI

• Viewing the Active User List

• Terminating an Active User Session
