No user security.
| Note |
|---|
| If the UCMD Server runs with this option value, Stonebranch, Inc. highly recommends removing *ALLOBJ authority from the user profile UNVUBR520. Otherwise, all commands will execute with this authority. |
|

UNIX | - DEFAULT
Use UNIX default user authentication method, */etc/passwd* or */etc/shadow*. - INHERIT
Universal Command Server will inherit the user account of the broker which started it. The user's process is started with the same user ID as that inherited from the Broker. - NONE
Universal Command Server will inherit the user account of the broker which started it. The user's process is started with the same user ID as that inherited from the Broker. - PAM
Use the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) interface to provide user authentication. - PAM_SESSIONS (Linux only)
Processes Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) session modules in addition to account and authentication modules. - TRUSTED
Use HP Trust Security authentication.
| Warning |
|---|
| If PAM_SESSIONS is selected, the system requires that at least one session is configured for PAM. Without a properly configured PAM session module, Universal Command fails to start. Check system logs, including the authentication log, for failure information. |

For UNIX, Windows, and z/OS: The INHERIT value replaces the NONE value. There currently are no plans to deprecate support for NONE, but new installs should use INHERIT instead of NONE. |
