How do I add a new demand user on PS2200? I can't seem to be able to find the SIMAN processor.

I would rather not run everything as the security admin.

SIMAN was offloaded to Teamquest and is unavailable on PS2200.

There's a processor / package called @SECMGR which can be used instead,
I looked at it years ago and it seemed to be 100% compatible to @siman,b
with the additional possibility of a front end running under Windows.
That front end needs to be configured in cpCOMM and maybe COMAPI. You
also need to download and install the front end from the Unisys website.

Unfortunately I can't find the documentation on the DVD. There's
another option called "ClearPath OS 2200 Apex" but look at the system requirements and weep.

My suggestion, use the Search function on the DVD and look for SECMGR.
I'm using Linux at the moment and that "feature" is unsupported. It is
quite possible that the processor needs some option or other, I can't
remember.

SECMGR was originally its own product. It was batch-only (no full-screen interface) and fully compatible with @SIMAN,B. Later it became part of APEX. While APEX allows you to manage security via a Windows interface, @SECMGR is still fully compatible
with @SIMAN,B.

@SECMGR is what I use for all security work on our real Dorados.

Well, it has been about 35 years since I last worked on a 2200 and I guess the mojo has gotten weak.

I added a user using secmgr using:

ins use=sboyd run_mode=demand,tip,batch password=password;

Displaying the user id yields this:

dis use=sboyd; ******************************************************************************

but when I try to login to demand using sboyd/password I get:

You have entered an invalid user-id.

What obvious step have I missed?

Thanks in advance.
