Adds a new record to the automatic login facility (ALF) database.
    You can also create records for proxy accounts.

    Requires read (R)  and write (W) access to the SYSALF database
    (SYS$SYSTEM:SYSALF.DAT by default).

    Format

      ALF ADD  device user

1  –  Parameters

 device

    Specifies the terminal name or port name that you want to assign
    to a user name. The parameter device must be a terminal name
    if you do not specify qualifiers on the command line, and can
    be either a logical name or an abbreviated device name. This
    parameter accepts a maximum of 63 characters, including devices
    for proxy accounts.

 user

    Specifies the user name of the account that you want to assign to
    a particular terminal or port.

2  –  Qualifiers

2.1    /TERMINAL

       /TERMINAL (default)

    Checks whether the device name you specified is a terminal on the
    target system. The parameter device can be a logical name or an
    abbreviated device name, which SYSMAN translates to a full device
    name.

2.2    /PORT

    Checks whether the device name you specified is a valid port. If
    the port name contains special characters, such as a slash (/),
    or if it contains lowercase letters that you want to preserve,
    you must enclose the port name within quotation marks (" ").

    Be aware that anything within quotation marks is written
    literally to the ALF database file. For example, if the
    actual port name contains uppercase letters as well as special
    characters, be sure to specify uppercase letters within the
    quotation marks. Otherwise, a mismatch will occur between the
    actual port name and what is specified in the SYSALF.DAT file.

2.3    /PROXY

    Checks that the device name is in the NODE::USERNAME format.

2.4    /LOG

    Displays the device names and user names as they are added to the
    ALF database.

3  –  Description

    You can use the ALF ADD command to associate a terminal or port
    with a particular user name. This will enable certain users to
    log in to certain terminals or ports without specifying a user
    name.

    The ALF ADD command adds a new record to the ALF database.

4  –  Examples

    1.SYSMAN> ALF ADD TTA3 JBERGERON
      SYSMAN> ALF ADD "MN34C3/LC-1-2" FMARTIN /PORT

      In this example, the first command assigns terminal TTA3 to
      user JBERGERON. The second command assigns port MN34C3/LC-1-2
      to user FMARTIN.

    2.SYSMAN> ALF ADD VMS:.ZKO.VMSORG.SYSMAN.CLIENT1::SYSTEM FOOBAR

      In this example, VMS:.ZKO.VMSORG.SYSMAN.CLIENT1::SYSTEM is the
      value for the device parameter, which is assigned to FOOBAR.
