Explanation
text is one of the following:
USERID NOT DEFINED
USERID NOT SPECIFIED
PASSWORD INCORRECT
PASSWORD EXPIRED
PASSWORD NOT SPECIFIED
NEW PASSWORD NOT ACCEPTED
GROUP NOT DEFINED
GROUP ACCESS REVOKED
SECLABEL NOT DEFINED
If the message text does not give
a problem, the multiple console support (MCS) console is ready for
the operator to logon. If the message does give a problem, the system
denied the operator access.
In the message text:
- USERID NOT DEFINED
- The operator attempted to log on specifying a userid that was
not defined to the security product.
- USERID NOT SPECIFIED
- The operator attempted to logon without specifying a userid.
- PASSWORD INCORRECT
- The operator attempted to logon specifying an incorrect password.
- PASSWORD EXPIRED
- The operator attempted to logon specifying a password that has
expired. The installation determines the length of time that a password
remains valid.
- PASSWORD NOT SPECIFIED
- The operator attempted to logon without specifying a password.
- NEW PASSWORD NOT ACCEPTED
- The operator attempted to logon and change the password, but the
system did not accept the password for one of the following reasons:
- The two new passwords did not match
- The new password did not conform to the password syntax rules
set by the installation.
- GROUP NOT DEFINED
- The operator attempted to logon, specifying a group that was not
defined to the security product.
- GROUP ACCESS REVOKED
- The operator attempted to logon specifying a group to which access
has been revoked for that operator.
- SECLABEL NOT DEFINED
- The operator attempted to logon specifying a security label that
was not defined to the security product.
The system displays message IEE187I in the
instruction line of the MCS console. It is accompanied by the MCS
logon prompt, which is displayed in the command entry area of the
console. The logon prompt provides the operator with fields to enter
a userid, password, optional group identifier, and optional SECLABEL
parameter.
System action
The system continues processing while the operator
tries to logon again.
Operator response
Depending on the message text, do the following:
- USERID NOT DEFINED
- Specify a different userid and try to logon again, or contact
the security administrator to have the userid defined to the system.
- USERID NOT SPECIFIED
- Specify a valid userid and try to logon again.
- PASSWORD INCORRECT
- Enter the correct password when try to logon again.
- PASSWORD EXPIRED
- Change the existing password by specifying the old and new passwords
together in this format: old-password/new-password/new-password.
When automatic logon is in effect, operators can log on to the system
but are not required to do so. If an attempt to logon fails, then
the system displays this message inline (that is, not in a display
area) instead of on the instruction line, where this message usually
appears. This message also appears without the MCS LOGON prompt.
You must reenter the LOGON command to enter the userid, password,
new password, group id, and security label.
- PASSWORD NOT SPECIFIED
- Specify a valid password and try to log on again.
- NEW PASSWORD NOT ACCEPTED
- Enter a valid password when you try to logon again.
- GROUP NOT DEFINED
- Specify a valid group or leave the field blank when you try to
logon again.
- GROUP ACCESS REVOKED
- Either specify a valid group to which access has not been revoked
or leave the field blank when you try to logon again.
- SECLABEL NOT DEFINED
- Either specify a valid security label or leave the field blank
when you try to logon again.
