Quick Beginnings

Using UPM for the First Time

The first time you use UPM, you have to use a default user ID. Your first task is to establish a permanent user ID and delete the default ID:

1. Make a backup copy of the net.acc file. This is stored on your workstation as c:\muglib\accounts\net.acc and contains the UPM defaults.

   Note:

   If IBMLAN is also installed, you will find net.acc under x:\ibmlan\accounts.

   You may use the backacc.exe and restacc.exe commands to backup and restore the net.acc file. Refer to your operating system or LAN documentation for further information.

2. Log on to UPM, following the procedure in "Logging on to UPM". Use the default user ID, USERID, and the default password, PASSWORD.

3. Establish a permanent user ID, following the procedures in "Adding a New User ID and Password". Select the:

   • Administrator radio button in the User type box

   • Allowed radio button in the Logon box

   • Password Required radio button in the Options box.

     Note:

     Use a password that is not trivial.

4. Log off from UPM, following the procedures in "Logging Off".

5. Log on to UPM again. Use the user ID you established in step 3.

6. Delete the default user ID, USERID, following the procedure in "Changing or Deleting a User ID". This is a safeguard against unauthorized use of your workstation.

7. Do other work in UPM, as required.

8. When you are finished, log off from UPM.
