Controlling User Access to the Security Administration utility

Use these procedures to set up user requirements and password requirements for the Security Administration utility.

If you add a password requirement for the Security Administration utility, users of the utility must include the -p password syntax as part of any secadm commands (where password is the password you have specified for the Security Administration utility. For users who use secadm in the interactive menu mode, they will be prompted for a password after they enter the secadm -m command.

If you require that users belong to a specific operating system user group, users not in that group will be denied access to secadm.
