I'm not certain that I fully understand what is being requested, but is it possible that specifying the -passwordaccess=prompt option from the command line would do the trick? This forces the prompting of a user ID and password from both CLI and GUI.
dsm -passwordaccess=prompt or dsmc -paswordaccess=prompt Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/IBM@IBMUS Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked. The command line is your friend. "Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.

So, it will be interesting what the answer is. -----Original Message----- From: Jens Fornfeist [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 7:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Restoring to different node using administrative TSM-ID Hi, i need to restore files to a different tsm-node ,than the data has been backed up with. Using the gui, there is the option "logon", where I can specify the concerned "source-tsm-node" and my administrative TSM-ID, for authenticating with/to the tsm-server. I have to use my ID because of the "passwordaccess generate"-setting in the client-options-file, so I do not know the passwords of the client-nodes. Using this way, everything works fine. The question is: How can I initiate this login-process using the command-line???? I would like to simplify this process for backup-operators, so that it is only necessary to enter the administrative TSM-ID and password. The node-name should have been set using a dsm.exe - paramater. i.e.: dsm -loginid=userid -virtualnodename=sourcemachine Is there an "undocumented feature" that solves my problem? (or is it documented and I haven't found it?) Thanks in advance! Jens Fornfeist ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- IDG mbH, Cologne, Germany Abt.
