I am not aware of any other way - the NetWare client doesn't support
Passwordacess generate :-(

We do have the password for ADSM in the Autoexec statement that kicks off the
scheduler (-pas=xxxx).  That allows us to at least start the scheduler when
the server is restarted without intervention.  Since the Autoexec.NCF resides
in the System directory, on the sys volume, and the access to this directory
is restricted, our security people don't have a problem here with a password
being included in a flat file.

     Tim,

     I understand how the Novell password is configured. What I'm trying
     to get around is when I use the command line, " load dsmc ", or when I
     bring down the scheduled backup and bring it up the password for ADSM
     still needs to be entered. On other clients "passwordaccess generate"
     allows us to enter the password once and never again. Is there a way
     on Novell to enter the ADSM password once and never again.

Brian,
        The first time you use ADSM on a Netware client, you'll be prompted for
the ADSM password, and then to enter a Netware userid / password.  When
you enter the Netware userid, then password, ADSM will store this in an
encrypted format in the ADSM client directory and you should no longer
be prompted for the Netware userid / password (at least until the period
of time between password changes is met or somebody changes the
password).
