4.4 ANALYZE/AUDIT Commands
This section describes the interactive commands available with the
Audit Analysis utility (ANALYZE/AUDIT). The qualifiers for this section
follow the standard rules of DCL grammar.
The utility runs interactively by default; you disable the feature with
the /NOINTERACTIVE qualifier to the ANALYZE/AUDIT command. To enter
interactive commands, press Ctrl/C at any time during the processing of
a full or brief interactive display. At the COMMAND> prompt, you can
enter any command listed in this section. Use the CONTINUE command to
resume processing of the event records, or use the EXIT command to
terminate the session.
CONTINUE
Resumes processing of event records.
CONTINUE
None.
None.
COMMAND> DISPLAY/SINCE=25-JAN-1998/SELECT=USERNAME=JOHNSON
COMMAND> CONTINUE
|
The first command in this example selects only event records generated by user JOHNSON after January 25, 1998. The second command in the example displays a report based on the new selection criteria.
Changes the criteria used to select event records.
DISPLAY
None.
For a more complete description of any one of the following qualifiers, refer to the description of the qualifier in the preceding ANALYZE/AUDIT Qualifiers section.
/BEFORE=time
Controls whether only those records dated earlier than the specified time are selected./BRIEF
Controls whether a brief (one-line-per-record) format is used in ASCII displays./EVENT_TYPE=event-type[,...]
Controls whether only those records matching the specified event type are selected./FULL
Controls whether a full format for each record is used in ASCII displays./IGNORE=criteria[,...]
Controls whether records matching the specified criteria are excluded. If you specify /IGNORE two or more times, the criteria are combined. To specify a new set of exclusion criteria, include the /REMOVE qualifier with the /IGNORE qualifier./PAUSE=seconds
For full-format displays (/FULL), specifies the length of time each record is displayed./REMOVE
Controls whether the criteria specified by the /IGNORE and the /SELECT qualifiers are no longer to be used to select event records to be displayed./SELECT=criteria[,...]
Controls whether only those records matching the specified criteria are selected. If you specify /SELECT two or more times, the criteria are combined. To specify a new set of selection criteria, include the /REMOVE qualifier with the /SELECT qualifier./SINCE[=time]
Controls whether only those records dated the same or later than the specified time are selected.

5.1 AUTHORIZE Description
The Authorize utility (AUTHORIZE) is a system management tool used to
control access to the system and to allocate resources to users.
AUTHORIZE creates new records or modifies existing records in the
following files:
These files store system authorization information. By default, they are owned by the system (UIC of [SYSTEM]) and are created with the following protection:
SYSUAF.DAT S:RWED, O:RWED, G, W NETPROXY.DAT S:RWED, O:RWED, G, W NET$PROXY.DAT S, O, G, W RIGHTSLIST.DAT S:RWED, O:RWED, G, W: |
To use AUTHORIZE, you must have write access to all three of these files (you must have an account with the user identification code (UIC) of [SYSTEM] or the SYSPRV privilege).
Note that you must have read access to the RIGHTSLIST.DAT file (or sufficient privileges) to display the rights identifiers held by other users.
Because certain images (such as MAIL and SET) require access to the system user authorization file (UAF) and are normally installed with the SYSPRV privilege, ensure that you always grant system access to SYSUAF.DAT.
When you install a new system, the software distribution kit provides the following records in the system user authorization file in SYS$SYSTEM:
On VAX systems:
On Alpha systems:
If the SYSUAF.DAT becomes corrupted or is accidentally deleted, you can use the template file SYSUAF.TEMPLATE in the SYS$SYSTEM directory to recreate the file, as follows:
$ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM $ COPY SYSUAF.TEMPLATE SYSUAF.DAT |
The file SYSUAF.TEMPLATE contains records that are identical to those defined when the system was installed.
To make an emergency backup for the system SYSUAF file, you can create a private copy of SYSUAF.DAT. To affect future logins, copy a private version of SYSUAF.DAT to the appropriate directory, as shown in the following example:
$ COPY MYSYSUAF.DAT SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]:SYSUAF.DAT- _$ /PROTECTION=(S:RWED,O:RWED,G,W) |
The Authorize utility (AUTHORIZE) is a system management tool that enables you to control access to the system and to allocate resources to users.
RUN SYS$SYSTEM:AUTHORIZE
None.Usage Summary To invoke AUTHORIZE, set your default device and directory to SYS$SYSTEM and enter RUN AUTHORIZE at the DCL command prompt. At the UAF> prompt, you can enter any AUTHORIZE command described in the following section.
To exit from AUTHORIZE, enter the EXIT command at the UAF> prompt or press Ctrl/Z.
If you move the SYSUAF.DAT file, be sure the logical name SYSUAF is defined and points to an existing file. If AUTHORIZE is unable to locate the SYSUAF.DAT file, it displays the following error message:
%UAF-E-NAOFIL, unable to open SYSUAF.DAT -RMS-E-FNF, file not found Do you want to create a new file? |
A response of YES results in creation of a new SYSUAF file containing a
SYSTEM record and a DEFAULT record. These records are initialized with
the same values set when the system was installed.
5.3 AUTHORIZE Commands
This section describes the AUTHORIZE commands and provides examples of their use. You can abbreviate any command, keyword, or qualifier as long as the abbreviation is not ambiguous. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) can be used as wildcard characters to specify user names, node names, and UICs.
AUTHORIZE commands fall into the following four categories:
The following table summarizes the AUTHORIZE commands according to these categories.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| Managing System Resources and User Accounts with SYSUAF | |
| ADD | Adds a user record to the SYSUAF and corresponding identifiers to the rights database. |
| COPY | Creates a new SYSUAF record that duplicates an existing record. |
| DEFAULT | Modifies the default SYSUAF record. |
| LIST | Writes reports for selected UAF records to a listing file, SYSUAF.LIS. |
| MODIFY | Changes values in a SYSUAF user record. Qualifiers not specified in the command remain unchanged. |
| REMOVE | Deletes a SYSUAF user record and corresponding identifiers in the rights database. The DEFAULT and SYSTEM records cannot be deleted. |
| RENAME | Changes the user name of the SYSUAF record (and, if specified, the corresponding identifier) while retaining the characteristics of the old record. |
| SHOW | Displays reports for selected SYSUAF records. |
| Managing Network Proxies with NETPROXY.DAT or NET$PROXY.DAT | |
| ADD/PROXY | Adds proxy access for the specified user. |
| CREATE/PROXY | Creates a network proxy authorization file. |
| LIST/PROXY | Creates a listing file of all proxy accounts and all remote users with proxy access to the accounts. |
| MODIFY/PROXY | Modifies proxy access for the specified user. |
| REMOVE/PROXY | Deletes proxy access for the specified user. |
| SHOW/PROXY | Displays proxy access allowed for the specified user. |

| General Commands | |
| EXIT | Returns the user to DCL command level. |
| HELP | Displays HELP text for AUTHORIZE commands. |
| MODIFY/SYSTEM_PASSWORD | Sets the system password (equivalent to the DCL command SET PASSWORD/SYSTEM). |
Adds a user record to the SYSUAF and corresponding identifiers to the rights database.
ADD newusername
newusername
Specifies the name of the user record to be included in the SYSUAF. The newusername parameter is a string of 1 to 12 alphanumeric characters and can contain underscores. Although dollar signs are permitted, they are usually reserved for system names.Avoid using fully numeric user names (for example, 89560312). A fully numeric user name cannot receive a corresponding identifier because fully numeric identifiers are not permitted.
/ACCESS[=(range[,...])]
Specifies hours of access for all modes of access. The syntax for specifying the range is:
/[NO]ACCESS=([PRIMARY], [n-m], [n], [,...],[SECONDARY], [n-m], [n], [,...])
Specify hours as integers from 0 to 23, inclusive. You can specify single hours (n) or ranges of hours (n-m). If the ending hour of a range is earlier than the starting hour, the range extends from the starting hour through midnight to the ending hour. The first set of hours after the keyword PRIMARY specifies hours on primary days; the second set of hours after the keyword SECONDARY specifies hours on secondary days. Note that hours are inclusive; that is, if you grant access during a given hour, access extends to the end of that hour.
