SYNOPSIS
[ ] [ ]
DESCRIPTION
The HP-UX User and Group Account Configuration tool ( ) is used to man‐
age user accounts and group accounts on the local system. This tool can
also be used to manage user accounts on a NIS system.
The HP-UX User and Group Account Configuration tool provides both Web-
based and terminal user interface. The Web-based interface is launched
through the HP System Management Homepage.
Superuser privileges are required to access the HP-UX User and Group
Account Configuration tool. A user who does not have superuser privi‐
leges has read-only access to the Local Users, NIS Users and Groups
areas in the HP-UX User and Group Account Configuration tool and cannot
modify local user accounts, group accounts and NIS User accounts.
An attempt will be made to connect to a Mozilla/Netscape Web browser
running on the X server defined by the DISPLAY environment variable. If
a running Mozilla/Netscape client is found, it will be used, otherwise
a new Mozilla/Netscape session will be initiated. This will only happen
if the Mozilla/Netscape process is running in the same system as that
referenced by the DISPLAY variable, unless the -F option is used.
Note: By default, the HP-UX User and Group Account Configuration tool
(ugweb) invokes the Mozilla Web browser. If you want to support any
other browser (Netscape), set the $BROWSER environment variable as
shown below:
The terminal user interface is invoked if any of the following condi‐
tions are true:
· The command is invoked with the option.
· The environment variable is not set.
The Web-based interface is launched if all the following conditions are
true:
· The command is invoked with option.
· The environment variable is set.
· The command is available on the system.
If the Web-based interface cannot be launched, invokes the terminal
user interface.
Options
recognizes the following options:
Forces a client browser to be used in less secure ways.
The option forces the client browser to be used or
started, even when the X-traffic between the X-server
and the Mozilla browser is not secure.
Use this option only when you are sure the network
traffic between the host where Mozilla is running and
the host in the DISPLAY variable is secure.
If cannot start the Web browser, the terminal inter‐
face is started.
When the HP-UX User and Group Account Configuration
Web interface is invoked by SMH, the option is used.
If a privileged user (root) executes the
command with the option, a temporary login bypass key
is generated. The bypass key enables the user to
access the Web interface without having to provide
login information again.
When the HP-UX User and Group Account Configuration
interface is started by SMH, the option is used.
Launches the terminal interface for managing local users, NIS
users and groups regardless of the current setting of the
environment variable.
You can also start the HP-UX User and Group Account Configuration tool
using one of the following methods:
· Run and select the Accounts for Users and Groups to launch
the tool in Terminal User Interface mode
· Start the HP-UX User and Group Account Configuration tool Web
interface by typing the URL in the address bar of your
browser, where hostname is the name of the server
· Launch the HP-UX Systems Insight Manager on the server and
select the User and Group Account Configuration tool from the
Configure -> HP-UX Configuration menu
