Sry Ben But it's not correct... It hasn't always been this way - it's correct that the administrative account will be created unless you type in NONE at "User ID for remote access" - and we always do... I don't need several thousands admin accounts to administer! So I choose not to create the account... and even then, I have been able to use the GUI (up til 5.1.5.6) without any problems - just by using the client nodename and password!!!
To day this is history! Now you need to create an administrative account to use the GUI!

When you register a node, it creates an administrative user account for the node: "When a new node is registered, an administrative user ID is automatically created for the node. By default, this node has client owner authority." So on the GUI, you can connect to the TSM server as the node and the node's TSM password. I'm not sure why you were not able to connect as that node. Do a "q admin" and see if that node is listed. See if that admin account is locked. Perhaps reset that admin password. Really, it looks like nothing should have changed.

I tried an administrator account - succes!! Then I turned to the documentation (typical everything has to crash and burn before using this ;o) ), and i quote: * If you plan to use a Web client, you must have an administrative user ID with system privilege, policy privilege, client access authority, or client owner authority. When a new node is registered, an administrative user ID is automatically created for the node. By default, this node has client owner authority. And now I'm a bit puzzled... Why???? I have a lot of servers on remote sites, and have never created the default user ID - there is no need to! the client have always been able to log in with the according nodename and password! Why change this? I like the fact, that my user accounts is minimized to a minimum but with this new client you will need to create the account every time - and worse, I have to create an account every time I want to upgrade? So anyone... Why have this been done? any good reasons? any suggestions to why? Regards Flemming
