Description
The USER_SECURITY option specifies whether or not to user security and, if so, the security method.
If user security is activated, the remote Universal Control Manager requesting command execution is required to supply a local user ID and password. The user's command is started as that user.
If user security is not activated, the user ID and password is not required from the remote user. The user's process is started with the same user ID as Universal Control Server ID.
