oldusername
   Specifies the name of a user currently in the SYSUAF.

/GENERATE_PASSWORD/MODIFY_IDENTIFIER/PASSWORD

/GENERATE_PASSWORD

      /GENERATE_PASSWORD[=keyword]
      /NOGENERATE_PASSWORD (default)

   Invokes the password generator to create user passwords. Generated
   passwords can consist of 1 to 10 characters. Specify one of the
   following keywords:

   BOTH       Generate primary and secondary passwords.

   CURRENT    Do whatever the DEFAULT account does. This could mean
              to generate primary, secondary, both, or no passwords.
              This is the default keyword.

   PRIMARY    Generate primary password only.

   SECONDARY  Generate secondary password only.

   Note that the /GENERATE_PASSWORD and /PASSWORD qualifiers are
   mutually exclusive, and whenever you modify a password, the old
   one expires automatically and the new one is valid only once. On
   login, users are forced to change their passwords.

/MODIFY_IDENTIFIER

      /MODIFY_IDENTIFIER (default)
      /NOMODIFY_IDENTIFIER

   Specifies whether the identifier associated with the cited user
   is to be modified in the rights database. This qualifier only
   applies when you modify the UIC or user name in the UAF record. By
   default, the associated identifiers are modified.

/PASSWORD

      /PASSWORD=(password1[,password2])
      /NOPASSWORD

   Specifies up to two passwords for login. Passwords can be from
   0 to 32 characters in length, and can include alphanumeric
   characters, dollar signs, and underscores.

   To set only the first password, specify /PASSWORD=password. To set
   both the first and second password, specify /PASSWORD=(password1,
   password2). To change the first password without affecting the
   second, specify /PASSWORD=(password, ""). To change the second
   password without affecting the first, specify /PASSWORD=("",
   password). To set both passwords to null, specify /NOPASSWORD.

   By default, the ADD command assigns a password of 'USER'. When
   creating a new UAF record with the COPY or RENAME command, you
   must specify a password.

Examples

   1.  UAF> RENAME HAWKES KRAMERDOVE/PASSWORD=MARANNKRA
       %UAF-I-PRACREN, proxies to HAWKES renamed
       %UAF-I-RENMSG, user record renamed
       %UAF-I-RDBMDFYMSG, identifier HAWKES modified

     The command in this example changes the name of the account
     Hawkes to Kramerdove, modifies the user name identifier for the
     account, and renames all proxies to the account.

/IDENTIFIER

   Renames an identifier in the rights database.

   Format

     RENAME/IDENTIFIER  current-id-name new-id-name

Additional information available:

ParametersExample

current-id-name

Example

   UAF> RENAME/IDENTIFIER Q1SALES Q2SALES

     The command in this example renames the identifier Q1SALES to
     Q2SALES.
