Table 1. Authentication-related commands
Command	Description
SET AUTHENTICATION	Sets the authentication method, either Local, LDAP, or Kerberos.
SHOW AUTHENTICATION	Displays the current authentication configuration.
CREATE USER	Creates a Netezza Performance Server user, including an optional password. When you create users and use local authentication, you must specify a password. If you use LDAP or Kerberos authentication, the password specified with the account is ignored. The password will be specified at and controlled by the third-party authentication server.
ALTER USER	Modifies a Netezza Performance Server user account. If you change from LDAP or Kerberos to local authentication, you might need to alter user accounts to ensure that they have a password that is defined on the Netezza Performance Server system.
