As part of our SOX compliance work, we are currently reviewing all user
accounts, password policies, etc.... Historically, when TSM nodes were
created here, everybody just went ahead and created a userID as well.
These don't appear to get used. I assume it's so a user can log into TSM
with access to a specific node data from another client, or the web client
for that matter. What are the pros and cons of leaving v.s. deleting these
administrative accounts associated with the TSM nodes? If there's no
compelling reason to keep them, then I'll just remove them and make my SOX
stuff that much easier. Thanks in advance.
