Regardless of the mode that GSEC is run in, there are a number of options that can be supplied on the command line. These are :
-user <username>
Allows the username of the sysdba user to be specified if the database is to be modified, or a normal username if the database is to be displayed only. This need not be supplied if ISC_USER and ISC_PASSWORD environment variables exist and have the correct values.
-password <password>
Supplies the password for the username specified above. This need not be supplied if ISC_USER and ISC_PASSWORD environment variables exist and have the correct values.
-role <SQL role name>
Allows the specification of the role to be used by the connecting user.
-database <server:security database name>
You can specify the full pathname of a security database to GSEC and this will allow you to remotely administer the users for that server. The whole parameter should be enclosed in quotes if there are any spaces in the path to the security database.
-z
Displays the version number of the GSEC utility.
