The command to log the user on to IBM® Spectrum Symphony for a specific time period.

Synopsis

soamlogon [-u user_name] [-x password] [-t time-to-live]
soamlogon -h
soamlogon -V

Description

Use soamlogon to log on to Symphony for a specific time period.

You do not need to log on to use IBM Spectrum Symphony Developer Edition.

When soamlogon is used without any options, the system prompts for a user name and password. IBM Spectrum Symphony does not prompt for an expiry time; it uses the default command session length, which is 8 hours.

Once the command session time-to-live expires, the command session is terminated.

The user name and password specified using soamlogon apply to all commands issued during this command session, unless they are overridden on the command line using the user name (-u) and password (-x) command options.

When a command is run with the -u and -x options, the system checks the user name and password to ensure the user has the required authority to run that command. The user name and password entered as options to a command apply only to that command instance.

-h

Prints command usage to stdout and exits.

-V

Prints product version to stdout and exits.

Options

-t time-to-live

-u user _name

Specifies the name of the user to connect to IBM Spectrum Symphony for this command.

-x password

Specifies the user password to connect to IBM Spectrum Symphony for this command.
