Mark,

I am not very familiar with the client side of TSM, but the user told me
that the passwordaccess generate wasn't enabled.  Is there any other way
that it would generate the password?  Is there a parameter on the TSM
server that would override this parameter?  Thanks again!

(This occurred at the client 4.1.5 level and the 5.1.5 level.)

I have a TSM server 5.1.6.2 on os/390 2.10 and users backup their PC's to
TSM.  Previously they were asked for a userid and password to access TSM
for restores, backups, etc.  but now when they go to do this it is directly
connecting to the TSM server.  I have recently upgraded this server from
4.1.5 to 5.1.6.2, but we are using an exact copy of the opt file for the
tsm server.  Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions as to why this may be
occurring?  Thanks!

The line

passwordaccess generate

in the dsm.opt file allows the TSM client to store an encrypted copy of
their TSM password in the Windows registry. That's why they don't have to
authenticate.
