Changing access passwords

The Eloquence database has 32 access profiles. The access profile is selected during database open, depending on the given password. If no password is given, or there is no password at all, access profile 0 (PUBLIC) is selected.

ALTER PASSWORD
acl_no ["password"]; 

ALTER PASSWORD {
   acl_no ["password"];
   ...
}
Access profiles 1 to 31 are associated with a password. Omitting the password (and specifying only the access class) will cause the password for this class to be removed and the access class become disabled. The password must not exceed 8 characters.

If enclosed in curly braces, multiple passwords can be defined.

For example:

   ALTER PASSWORD
      1 "GuessMe";
This defines the password "GuessMe" for access profile 1.

   ALTER PASSWORD {
       3;
       4 "Manager";
   }
This statement disables the access profile 3 (by removing the password) and defines the password "Manager" for access profile 4.
