IPLDISKX Command

Use the IPLDISKX command to change directory entries to support the EXPIRE command and the Rules Facility.

IPLDISKX entry

Definition

entry

Specifies the USER or IDENTITY directory entry to modify. The directory entry must not be in held status.

Description

The IPLDISKX command invokes a conversion utility that changes directory entries to allow expiration of logon passwords through the EXPIRE command and the Rules Facility.

The conversion utility scans a user directory entry and removes the link to the IPLDISK minidisk, modifies the IPL statement, and replaces the expire special comment (*EX=) with a flag special comment (*FL=).

A copy of the modified directory entry is not written to the CA VM:Director backup minidisk (BKUP).

This command does not affect user IDs that do not have the expire statement, the directory link to the IPLDISK, and the modified IPL statement.

The IPLDISK record must be in the PRODUCT CONFIG file for you to use the IPLDISKX command. Do not remove the IPLDISK record from the PRODUCT CONFIG file until all user IDs have been converted to the method of expiration implemented with the Rules Facility.

Example

Create a CMS EXEC of all user IDs at your site and convert them to a method of expiration implemented with the Rules Facility:

vmdirect query users (exec
cms vmdirect ipldiskx
