When the NCL scripts have been created, you are asked if you want to run a command file called psi$security_identifiers.com.

This file is created by the configuration program to add certain rights identifiers to the system rights database on your system. The rights to be added depend on the security information you have supplied.

You can run the command file from within the configuration procedure, or you can exit from the configuration program and run the command file later. Note that you cannot start VAX P.S.I. until you have run this command file. This is true even if you have selected not to set up X.25 security for your system.

If you edit the command procedure before running it, you must make corresponding changes to the NCL scripts before attempting to start VAX P.S.I.
