When using the native backup-archive GUI you can logon using a nodename and password or administrative user ID and password. Tivoli Storage Manager prompts for your user ID and compares it to the configured nodename. If they match, Tivoli Storage Manager attempts to authenticate the user ID as a nodename. If the authentication fails or if the user ID does not match the configured nodename, the client attempts to authenticate the user ID as an administrative user ID.
To use an administrative user ID with any of the backup-archive clients, the user ID must have one of the following authorities:
Client access authority is not sufficient to access the backup-archive client and GUI. You must possess at least client owner authority.
You can use the virtualnodename option to temporarily access your node's data from another machine. This option differs from the nodename option in that, if passwordaccess=generate is specified along with the virtualnodename option, the password is not stored on the local machine. If you specify the nodename option, the password is stored on the local machine. See Virtualnodename for more information about the virtualnodename option.
