Login and Password Data Table in Netutil
The Login and password data table on the netutil startup screen is used for the following tasks:
To record a remote user authorization using a login account and password on the remote instance’s host machine
To record a remote user authorization using the Installation Password defined on the remote instance
To define an Installation Password for the local instance
The information you enter into the fields in the Login/password data table depends on which of the above tasks you are performing. For more information, see Task-Specific Values for the Login/Password Data Fields.
The Login/password data columns are as follows:
Type
Is the type of definition, either Global or Private. For details, see Global and Private Definitions on page 28.
Scope
Is a read-only message, supplied automatically, that briefly describes the scope of the connection. The message depends on the value that you enter in the Type field.
If you enter Private, netutil displays the following message:
User user_id only
If you enter Global, netutil displays the following message:
Any user on node_name
Login
Specifies the name of the account to be used on the remote instance’s host machine.
Note:  If you are authorizing access to a remote instance using an Installation Password or defining an Installation Password for the local instance, enter an asterisk (*) into this field.
After you fill in this field, netutil prompts you for a password.
