Not mentioned yet. If using RACF, when you define the user as LOGONBY, it can by default no longer be logged on to with its own password (what is normally what you'd want). But, with an extra command you can restore that possibility: 1. Define VMUTIL as LOGONBY RAC RDEFINE SURROGAT

One thing not mentioned by others (unless I missed it) - if you have VM:Secure for your ESM, if you use logonby to log on to a userid, say ALAN for purposes of discussion, and try to use VM:Secure to change any of the security settings, you must give the logged on machine's password in response

Terry, LOGONBY has been around for many VM releases. We set all our service machine accounts and important maintenance ids (MAINT, TCPMAINT, etc) up with a LOGONBY list. Then we change those ids' passwords to LBYONLY, which says the userid can only be logged on using LOGONBY. So if you try and

LOGONBY has been a part of CP since before VM/ESA 2.3 (1998). It is not mentioned in the Quick Reference for VM/SP 6 (1988) so it was added between 1988 and 1998. It has been around a long time. Maybe even longer that RACF. (I don't know when it was introduced on VM.) David Boyes wrote: It’s

Before VM got LOGONBY, IBM had internally a RACF modification that allowed a Logon By, for ages. Obviously, CP was not aware of the LOGONBY, (so no Q BYUSER for example). CP was even fooled: on the password prompt one'd enter byuser/byuserpswd/byuserpswd that is, for CP it looked like a
