VMS Help DCE_SECURITY, Admin Intro, DCE$IMPORT, IMPORT, Qualifiers  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

1 - /CONFIRM

       /CONFIRM
       /NOCONFIRM

    Controls whether the IMPORT command asks for confirmation
    before creating a DCE principal or account, or both.

    In interactive mode the default is /CONFIRM. In non-
    interactive mode the default is /NOCONFIRM.

2 - /DCE_LOGIN=(keyword=valud[,...])

       /DCE_LOGIN=(keyword=valud[,...])

    Provides DCE account details for accounts that are authorized to
    create pricipals and accounts in the DCE registry. Valid keywords
    for the DCE_LOGIN qualifier are as follows:

         Keyword         Description

         PRINCIPAL       The principal name to be used for
                         authentication purposes when creating
                         accounts and/or principals in the DCE
                         registry.

                         If you do not specify a principal with this
                         qualifier you are prompted for one
                         interactively.

         PASSWORD        The password associated with the principal
                         name that was specified by the PRINCIPAL
                         keyword.

                         If you do not specify a password with this
                         qualifier you are prompted for one
                         interactively.

    If you do not specify a principal or password with this qualifier,
    you are prompted for them interactively, regardless of whether or
    not you are running in interactive mode.  This information need
    be entered only once per session, on the first IMPORT command.
    Subsequent IMPORT commands within the same session do not require
    you to reenter this information.

    If you are an interactive user and you do not specify the PASSWORD
    keyword, IMPORT prompts you for your password.  The advantage in
    this is the password is not echoed and therefore does not appear
    on your terminal.

3 - /EXCLUDE

       /EXCLUDE
       /NOEXCLUDE (default)

    Determines whether or not the OpenVMS account is imported
    to the DCE registry. If the OpenVMS account is not imported
    then the DCE account is not created and instead an entry
    is created in the IMPORT exclude file for the specified
    OpenVMS account.

4 - /INFORM

       /INFORM  (default)
       /NOINFORM

    Determines whether or not the user is informed of OpenVMS
    accounts that would have been selected for import, but are
    not because they either have already been imported (for example,
    they have an entry in the DCE$UAF) or they have an entry in
    the IMPORT exclude file.

5 - /INTERACTIVE

       /INTERACTIVE (default)
       /NOINTERACTIVE

    Controls whether an interactive or noninteractive import
    is performed.

    In interactive mode, a series of questions is asked and the
    user's responses are used to determine the account details.
    This mode is well suited to interactive users.

    In noninteractive mode, all input is supplied through the data
    qualifiers, and any missing or conflicting data causes
    the DCE account to not be created. This mode is well suited
    to command files and batch jobs.

    Data qualifiers can be specified in interactive mode.
    In this case the data they provide is used to provide the
    default answers to the relevant questions. All questions
    are still asked.

6 - /MY_PASSWORD=passwd

       /MY_PASSWORD=passwd

    DCE requires that you specify your current DCE password
    for authentication purposes. If you do not specify your
    DCE password with this qualifier you are prompted for
    it interactively, regardless of if you are running in
    interactive mode or not.

    Omitting this qualifier and allowing IMPORT to prompt you
    for your DCE password has the advantage that in this case
    the password is not echoed and does therefore not appear on
    your terminal if you are an interactive user.

 OUTPUT[=output]

       /OUTPUT[=output]

    Defines where all program output should be written.
    The default is SYS$OUTPUT:.

7 - /RECAP

       /RECAP
       /NORECAP (default)

    If /RECAP is specified details of the DCE account are
    displayed before it is actually created. When /CONFIRM
    is also specified the account details are displayed
    immediately before the confirmation request.

8 - /TEST_ONLY

       /TEST_ONLY
       /NOTEST_ONLY (default)

    If /TEST_ONLY is specified, DCE accounts and DCE$UAF
    entries are not created.  All other functions operate normally.
