Bill,

apologies for the late reply but I have been really busy trying to
recover a production database. What happens is that I enter the dsmc
command before i kick off the dsmcad one and I get asked for
hostname/passsword login. Once I complete this I kick off the dsmcad
command and connect to the host via a web browser. This connects fine
until the point I click on anything where I get the message:

ANS2604S The Web client agent was unable to authenticate with the server.

displayed in a window. You can do nothing else until you click on the
"Ok" prompt in the window.

I am very new to TSM having come from a Veritas Netbackup background
and so dont really have a good understanding of how to setup the
normal file system backups (they were all done by someone else from
USA). Is there some way of storing the password locally as like I have
done for TDP?

Thanks for the help.
