Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide
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:
- 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.
- 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.
