Mark, Are you on a Windows or UNIX machine? Do you have passwordaccess generate set in your appropriate dsm.sys stanza (UNIX) or dsm.opt file (Windows)? That is what stores the password locally on the client machine for use with dsmc. If you have a TDP on this same machine and this is a UNIX box, are you using two separate stanzas, one for the TDP and one for the backup/archive client?
Are you going to allow users other than TSM admins access through the client web interface? If so, do you have an administrator registered on the server with the same name as nodename? From a TSM admin command line, "query admin" and look for a match with the node from "query node" - the one that matches the nodename option in dsm.sys or the hostname from a shell command. Please post your dsm.sys file, version, and the type of TDP you're running on this machine.

What happens is that I enter the dsmc command before i kick off the dsmcad one and I get asked for hostname/passsword login. Once I complete this I kick off the dsmcad command and connect to the host via a web browser. This connects fine until the point I click on anything where I get the message: ANS2604S The Web client agent was unable to authenticate with the server. displayed in a window. You can do nothing else until you click on the "Ok" prompt in the window. I am very new to TSM having come from a Veritas Netbackup background and so dont really have a good understanding of how to setup the normal file system backups (they were all done by someone else from USA). Is there some way of storing the password locally as like I have done for TDP? Thanks for the help.
