Tivoli Storage Manager for Macintosh Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide

Password

The password option specifies a Tivoli Storage Manager password. If you do not specify this option and your administrator has set authentication to On, you are prompted for a password when you start a Tivoli Storage Manager session.

Notes:

  1. If the server prompts for a password, the password does not display as you enter it. However, if you use the password option on the command line, your password will display as you enter it.

  2. If the Tivoli Storage Manager server name changes or Tivoli Storage Manager clients are directed to a different Tivoli Storage Manager server, all clients will need to have a new password initialized for the new server name.

The password option is ignored when the passwordaccess option is set to generate.
