The following table describes the basic elements of the LOGON command, some of which might be optional at some installations. These elements, on their own, are generally sufficient for employing the simpler default authentication mechanism TD2, which most typically relies solely on provision of a LOGON command. For more information on the LOGON command, see LOGON (L).
