The Unlock Option

Unlocking a userid allows users to signon under that userid once again.

1. Select option 3 on the Lock/Unlock Functions menu (3-UNLOCK USERS) and enter the userid you want to unlock. In this example, userid SYSADMIN will be unlocked.

   OPTION ===> 3

     3  - UNLOCK USERS                       4  - BROWSE LOCKED CCIDS
     5  - LOCK CCIDS                         6  - UNLOCK CCIDS
     7  - BROWSE LOCKED DICTIONARIES         8  - LOCK DICTIONARIES
     9  - UNLOCK DICTIONARIES
   USER       ===> SYSADMIN                           (IF OPTIONS 1, 2, 3 )
   CCID       ===>                                    (IF OPTIONS 4, 5, 6 )
   DICTIONARY ===> SRCNDVR                            (IF OPTIONS 7, 8, 9 )
   

2. Press ENTER.

   The system again responds with the User Lock Detail screen for userid SYSADMIN. Now, however, the ACTION field states unlock rather than lock.

   CA-E/DB nn.n volser               USER LOCK DETAIL            mm/dd/yy  NDVRM310
   USER ===> EDBADMIN             DICTNAME ===> SRCNDVR          MODE ===> UPDATE
   ACTION ===> UNLOCK
   ******************************  USER INFORMATION  *****************************
   USER         ===> SYSADMIN                            PASSWORD ===>
   SECURITY CLS ===> NDVR-GLOBAL
   CURRENT CCID ===>
   COMMENT      ===>
   LOCKED       ===> Y        LOCK DATE ===> 04/30/97   LOCK TIME ===> 10:02:12
   

3. To unlock userid SYSADMIN, press ENTER. Then press PF3 to return to the Lock/Unlock Functions menu.

On this display, the entry in the LOCKED field is Y. As with the LOCK option, the entry automatically changes when you press ENTER - in this case, to N. And, userid SYSADMIN will no longer be on the User Lock List screen.
