Query TSA

The query tsa command displays information associated with a specific NetWare Target Service Agent (TSA). This information includes the TSA name, type, version information, and location of the password file for the TSA (if applicable).

This command also verifies the user ID and password information, depending on how they are stored. If the user ID and password are stored locally using the nwpwfile option, and the current password file does not contain valid information, this command prompts for the correct information. This command also prompts for the correction information if a current password files does not exist. For more information, see Nwpwfile.

If the password is stored in the local options file nwuser, the command verifies the user ID and password in that file. For more information, see Nwuser

NDS
Specifies that you want to query the TSA (TSANDS.NLM) for the Novell Directory Services (NDS).

servername\NDS
Specifies that you want to query a remote TSA (TSANDS.NLM) for the Novell Directory Services (NDS) which is loaded on fileserver servername.
