The web client requres PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE, so it always uses
GENERATE, regardless of what is in your options file. (On Windows, the
scheduler service works the same way.)

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.

        Subject:        changed passwordaccess to prompt, now web client agent 
won't work



AIX server 4.2.2.12
AIX client 4.1
I have had to temporarily change passwordaccess from
generate to prompt on one of my AIX client machines.
The scheduler process is running fine, as long as I
start it and supply the password.  However, the web
client access (dsmcad) process is giving me fits.

I stopped and restarted the dsmcad process, and
according to the manual there is not a password
option.  However, when the Backup/Archive Web client
will give an error:

   ANS26046 The web client agent was unable to
   authenticate with the server.

The dsmwebcl.log file gives:

01/15/03   10:40:26 (dsmagent) ANS1835E PASSWORDACCESS
is GENERATE, but password needed for server 'TSMSRVR'.
01/15/03   10:40:26 (dsmagent) Either the password is
not stored locally, or it was changed at the server.
01/15/03   10:40:26 (dsmagent) Authentication
failureANS3003I Session ended for user .

What gives?  I HAVE passwordaccess set to prompt in
dsm.sys.  Where is it looking to think that
passwordaccess is still set to generate?

Thanks for any help
M.
