Any system admin userid, or admins that have policy privilege for the
domain, or any admins that have been granted client access to the nodes can
signon to the web client. We register the nodes USER=NONE and have a generic
userid for our helpdesk staff..curiously named HELPDESK... We then schedule
an admin schedule to run nightly that does a "grant auth helpdesk cl=node
auth=access no=*".

Subject: No Userids for Web Client


In registering over 600 nodes for TSM, we registered them with
"userid=none".  Years later, we now wish to implement the web based backup
strategy, but that requires that each node have a userid.  Is there anyway
to update the existing nodes with userids?  The "update node" command does
not have that option.
