Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to user management work in a computer system.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a computer system, registration of a user ID is required to use the computer system for remote login from another computer, and user management such as registration / deletion of the user ID is performed by an administrator of the computer system. When performing user management, it is necessary to know the command and execution method for each operation such as registration and deletion.
[0003]
Recently, the user management interface is different for each computer due to multi-vendorization, so it is necessary to grasp the registration and deletion commands and execution methods for each computer. Further, in order to grasp the user registration status, the user registration status is entered or managed, or the user registration status is confirmed using the user management interface of each computer.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional method, since the user management interface is different for each computer, it is necessary to grasp the user management interface of each of a plurality of computer systems.
[0005]
In addition, user management operations are often performed by command input, which requires accurate storage of command grammar and the like, and is complicated and easily causes repeated operations that are not similar, operation errors, and input errors.
[0006]
In addition, when managing multiple systems and displaying them on the same screen, there are differences in management and display specifications between computers, so that you can see at a glance which computer a user is registered to. It was not possible to perform an integrated management display.
[0007]
For this reason, it has been a huge amount of work to manage the registration status, such as managing which users are registered in which computers by entering them in the ledger and checking whether they are registered using the user management interface of each computer. .
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention has a system information management unit for managing users of a system in a computer system, displays a list of computers to be managed and a list of users on a screen, and uses a pointing device such as a mouse for user registration and deletion. Instructed by interactive input using a GUI (Graphical User Interface), it is possible to centrally manage all users of computer systems connected via a network.
[0009]
The display unit displays icons on the screen based on the computer list and user list acquired by the storage unit. The input unit determines the displayed icon operation, determines which computer is requested, the computer request unit makes a user management request to each computer system, and the computer system that receives the request receives user data in its own computer system. User data is updated according to the update procedure.
[0010]
As a result, user management can be performed only with a mouse operation, and user management can be performed without being aware of the difference in the user management interface for each computer system. Also, by displaying the user registration status of a plurality of computer systems on one screen, it is possible to know at a glance which computer a certain user is registered, and integrated display management can be performed.
[0011]
Accordingly, it is possible to easily grasp which computer the user is registered in without performing troublesome work such as ledger management, and the management man-hour of the user can be greatly reduced.
