Well, since a "system privileged admin id" could change the node's password and then connect without using their admin id & password (use the one they just set it to) I can see why the straight use of their id & password would be allowed.
Just another reason why management should pay their TSM admin's well ;-) Dwight -----Original Message----- From: Gerhard Rentschler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 10:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Client login with admin id and password Hello, I always thought that a tsm admin does not have access to client data. I think I learned something new. Calling dsmc or dsm with -node=tarzan and specifying a valid admin id and password (system privilege) gives access to node tarzan's data. At least it is possible to list the files. I haven't tried to restore data. This is indeed documented. However, I would prefer if there were a message in the activity log saying that admin id was used. Am I wrong? Could someone explain this feature in more detail?
