Using the Security Administration Utility from a Command Prompt

Use these procedures to obtain help when using secadm from the Landmark command prompt.

This manual generally uses the secadm command prompt syntax required to accomplish a task, rather than providing the menu interface steps for every command.

The secadm menu interface prompts you for the same information that can be entered at a command prompt.

Additionally, the syntax can be abbreviated to create scripts that can be submitted to secadm.
