Assigning and changing a password (&PWD DISTRIBUTION)

For UDS-D

 &PWD DISTRIBUTION,CONF=konfname,
    {PWN=new-password |
     PWO=old-password|
     PWO=old-password,PWN=new-password}

Default value:

No password

confname

Name of the configuration to which the password is to be assigned.

new-password

New password for the configuration confname.

old-password

Existing password for the configuration confname.

PWN=new-password

Specifies a new password. The new password is entered into the distribution table. This is possible only if there is no existing password for the specified configuration.

Maximum length: eight characters

A blank terminates the password. Excess input is truncated. Readable characters should be used, but this is not checked.

PWO=old-password

Deletes the existing password. The old password in the distribution table is overwritten with blanks.

PWO=old-password,PWN=new-password

Changes the existing password. The old password in the distribution table is changed to the new one.

If for old-password you specify a password that does not match the existing password, the command is rejected and an error message is output.

The password for UDS-D enables you to restrict access to your DB configuration. Remote configurations can access the data of the configuration only if they know the password. The password is entered in the distribution table (see also section “Configuration-based password protection”).
