Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable an operator of the client side to automatically define a user and therefore to reduce the troublesomeness required for definition of the user despite the absence of a center controller having expert knowledges by using a device name of a system as the tacit value of the identifier and at the same time allocating the standard environment information for definition of the user. CONSTITUTION:A device contained in a system is previously defined to the device defining information 2 of a user control system. In case a user define-less operation is declared, a device name taken out of the information 2 for the user identification name is displayed as the tacit value at a tacit value display input processing part 1-2 of a user control program 1. The tacit value of the displayed device name or the data written on the tacit value is stored into a user control area 3 via a register part 1-3 as a user identifier together with the standard environment information. Then the tacit value displayed via the part 1-2 or the identifier corresponding to the data on the tacit value and the standard environment information are simultaneously registered via the part 1-3 when a user is defined at introduction of the system.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] Regarding a user management method in which users are defined and managed, user definitions are automatically generated by using a system device name, etc. as an implicit value of a user identification name, and assigning standard environment information, etc. However, with the aim of reducing the complexity of user definition, the device definition information that predefines the devices included in the system and the user identification name when declaring user definition-less operation from the device definition information above. An implicit value display input processing unit that displays the retrieved device name as an implicit value, and an implicit value of the displayed identification name or data overwritten on this implicit value as a user signature, together with predefined standard environment information. It is equipped with a registration section that stores it in the user management area, and corresponds to the implicit value displayed by the above-mentioned implicit value display input processing section or the identification name overwritten as necessary when the user is defined at the time of system installation. Additionally, the registration unit registers the user identifier, standard environment information, etc., and manages the user.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a user management method for defining and managing users.

In recent years, medium-sized computers, especially office computers, have come in a wide range of sizes, and only one operating system (
The number of models that use system programs (system programs) is also expanding from high-end to low-end. User management is closely related to security protection and routine operations, and users must be defined after the computer is installed.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional user management programs, identifiers called ``user ID'', ``profile name'', 10 gain name, etc. are registered at the time when a computer system is delivered to a customer. However, at this time, it was also necessary to define security information, standard catalogs, etc., and users of low-end office computer models generally did not have a specialized center administrator, forcing users to acquire specialized knowledge.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

For this reason, even if the operating system is the same, users of low-end office computer models are required to define the identifiers, security information, and standard catalogs for each user, which requires specialized knowledge, at the time of installation. There was a problem with putting it away.

The present invention aims to reduce the complexity of user definitions by automatically generating user definitions by using system device names and the like as implicit values of identifiers and allocating standard environment information and the like.

[Means to solve problems]

Means for solving the problem will be explained with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 1, an implicit value display input processing unit 1-2 extracts a device name from device definition information 2 created in advance and displays it as a user identification name to be displayed on a display device 4.

The registration unit 1-3 registers in the user management area 3 the implicit value displayed as the identification name on the display device 4 or data overwritten with this implicit value, and the standard environment information.

[Effect]

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention provides an implicit value display processing section 1-
2 displays the device name extracted from the predefined device definition information 2 as an implicit value for the user's identification name displayed on the display device 4, and the registration section 1-3 uses this implicit value or overwritten data as the user's identification name. The identifier is registered in the user management area 3 together with predefined standard environment information.

Therefore, when the system is delivered to a customer, the device name is displayed as an implicit value for each user definition, this is used as a user identifier, and the standard environment information is combined with this to automatically define the user. It is now possible to register.

〔Example〕

Next, the configuration and operation of one embodiment of the present invention will be explained in detail using FIGS. 1 and 2.

In FIG. 1, a user management program 1 performs various types of management necessary for users to use the computer system, and includes an operation determination processing section 1-1, an implicit value display input processing section 1-2, and a registration processing section 1-2. It consists of parts 1-3, etc.

The operation determination processing unit 1-1 determines whether the computer system performs the so-called user definition-less operation according to this embodiment, or the operation in which the system administrator individually manages the user definitions using his/her specialized knowledge. It is something.

The implicit value display input processing unit 1-2 is the operation determination processing unit 1-1.
When it is determined that the operation is without user definition, the device name is extracted from the predefined device definition information @2 and displayed as the user's identification name to be displayed on the display device 4.

The registration unit 1-3 registers in the user management area 3 the implicit value displayed on the display device 4 or overwrites this implicit value, uses the closing data as a user identifier, and also includes standard environment information prepared in advance. It is.

The device definition information 2 defines device information (device name, model name, address, type (WS: workstation, PRT: printer device, etc.)) provided in the computer system.

The user management area 3 is an area for registering a defined user identifier and environmental information (maximum virtual area size, maximum real storage size, etc. that can be used by this user) together with this user identifier. . When user definitionless operation according to this embodiment is declared (determined), when registering in this user management area 3, fixed standard environment information prepared in advance as environment information is copied. Additionally, there is a general field that stores a general user identifier and environment information, and a special field that registers an identifier with special qualifications given to the system administrator, such as "FUJITSU", and special environment information (qualification to rewrite the control program). There is.

The display device 4 displays an illustrated "opening screen" for user definition when the computer system is first delivered to the customer.
etc. is displayed.

The user management file 5 is a management file for the center administrator to define and register individual users when the user definition-less operation is not declared.

Next, the operation of the configuration shown in FIG. 1 will be explained in detail using flowchart 1- in FIG.

In FIG. 2, in step (1), it is determined whether or not operation is performed without user definition. This means that it is determined whether or not operation without user definition has been declared, such as when a computer system is delivered to a customer and started up (performed by the operation determination processing unit 1-1 in Figure 1). . If YES, execute ■ to ■. In the case of No, the center administrator individually defines the users in steps ① to [phase].

■ Displays the device name as an implicit value on the opening screen. This is shown on the right side of the identification name on the opening screen shown in the display device 4 in FIG.

1'' from the predefined device definition information 2 and display it (performed by the implicit value display input processing section 1-2 in FIG. 1).

■ Enter the user identifier. This is the implicit value displayed on the opening screen, such as "WKSTN."

1'' means that if the operator is satisfied with the current state, the operator presses the execution key, while if correction is necessary, the operator overwrites the information and then presses the execution key to instruct the input of the user identifier.

(2) determines whether or not it is a specific user identifier.

This indicates that the input user identifier is a special user identifier defined in the user management program, such as “FUJ
ITSU". If YES, assign the special environment in ■ and register it in the special field in Figure 1 as shown in the figure. If NO, , Execute ■.

(2) determines whether it is a device name or not. This determines whether the input user identifier is a device name. If YES, execute ■. If NO, perform the following.

■ Allocate a fixed environment. This means that, as shown in the user management area 3 in Figure 1, the input user identifier, for example "WKSTNol", is assigned in a manner that copies the illustrated standard environment information fixedly prepared by the system in advance. are doing.

(2) Register it as an established user identifier.

This means that the environment information assigned by ■ or ■ together with the user identifier is registered in the general field or special field of the user management area 3 in FIG. 1 as shown.

When operation without user definition is declared through the above procedure, user definition can be automatically performed without any specialized knowledge.

Next, in FIG. 2, since it is determined in ■ that the operation is not user-defined, an opening screen with no implicit value is displayed.

In [Phase], the operator inputs a user identifier.

(2) determines whether the user management file 5 is present or not.

If YES, execute @. N.

In this case, execute ■.

(2) Allocates the environment defined in the user management file 5.

If operation without user definition is not declared through the above procedure, an operator with specialized knowledge individually defines and registers the user.

Note that if the contents of the user management file 5 have been deleted, it is assumed that user-defined non-operation has been declared and the process is performed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, a configuration is adopted in which the device name of the system is used as the implicit value of the identifier, and standard environment information is assigned to perform user definition. Even if there is no administrator, an operator at the customer site can automatically define a user, so that the complexity of user definition can be reduced. This makes it possible to reduce the number of installation steps required when delivering a computer system to a customer, and also to reduce the amount of resources by deleting the user management file 5.
