Ok, maybe using PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE up until now didn't have anything to do with my problem but I thought it might. But shouldn't resetting the password from the server side when using PASSWORDACCESS PROMPT force the user to change the password? I thought that is the way it was supposed to work. If that isn't the way it works then how can I force the user using PROMPT to change the password at 60 day intervals.
Also, the way I understand this, if you are using PROMPTED the password is not encrypted in the registry. It is not stored in the registry at all. That is only used for GENERATE. Is this correct? -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@;VM.MARIST.EDU]On Behalf Of Andrew Raibeck Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 3:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Force Password Reset I'm not sure I follow.... I've actually reproduced your problem. It seems that when PASSWORDACCESS PROMPT is in effect, forcing the password reset from the server side does not force the user to change the password, regardless of whether PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE was in effect earlier... even if I clean out any old passwords encrypted in the registry. Are you seeing something different? When using PASSWORDACCESS PROMPT, there is no way to view the password. If someone forgets their TSM password, they have to contact their TSM administrator who will need to change the node's password.

I changed the passwordaccess from generate to prompt. I was using the password that was stored in the registry from when it was using generate. When I changed to prompt that was no longer the valid password. The only questions I have now is if you set the password through prompted how can you view the password? Using generate you can see it with "dsmcutil showpw" but when you are using prompted can you view it either through the server or client side? -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@;VM.MARIST.EDU]On Behalf Of Andrew Raibeck Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 12:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Force Password Reset Are you using PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE? If so, why do you think the password is not being reset? You can test this with a Windows client: 1) From the client machine, open an OS prompt and change into the directory where the TSM client executables reside, i.e. C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient. 2) Issue this command: dsmcutil showpw /node:yournodename (where 'yournodename' is the client node name). Make a note of the password. 3) From an Admin command, update the client node with the FORCEPWRESET=YES option. 4) From the client OS prompt, issue these commands: dsmc q se dsmcutil showpw /node:yournodename Is the password different from that shown in step 2 above?

I can't seem to force the client to change its password. I issue the command "upd node client forcepwreset=yes" expecting it to force the client to change its password the next time it logs into TSM. It doesn't seem to force me to do anything. When I log in, I get no prompts to change my password. What am I doing wrong? I am feeling sort of stupid right now :) The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
