The passwordaccess option specifies whether you want to generate your password automatically or set as a user prompt. Your administrator can require a password for your client node by enabling the authentication feature. Ask your administrator if a password is required for your client node.
If a password is required, you can choose to:
Use the passworddir option in your client options file dsm.opt to specify the directory location in which to store the encrypted password file. The default directory location depends on how the client was installed.
When the passwordaccess option is set to generate and you specify the password option, the password option is ignored.
Set the passwordaccess option to generate when using the Web client.
