You can also specify a password as an identification criterion
       in an ACL entry on a directory or object in the DMU format
       dictionary. If an ACL entry for a directory or object in the
       dictionary defines a password, the password can be specified
       as part of the given name of the directory or object. Using
       a password identifies the user or group of users who know the
       password.

       When you need the access privileges to a directory or object
       granted by an ACL entry containing a password, you can specify
       the password in two ways:

       o  You can enter the password, enclosed in parentheses, after the
          given name of the directory or object:

          -  With only the given name:

                     YACHTS;1(SAILOR)

          -  In a full dictionary path name:

              CDD$TOP.INVENTORY(SECRET).YACHTS;1(SAILOR)

       o  You can also enter an asterisk in parentheses after the given
          name of the directory or object. This asterisk in place of the
          password causes DEC DATATRIEVE to prompt you for the password.
          When you respond, DEC DATATRIEVE does not echo the characters
          on your terminal. This prompting protects your password and,
          as a result, your data and data definitions:

          -  In place of the password in parentheses, enter (_*):

              DTR> SHOWP YACHTS (_*)

          -  DEC DATATRIEVE responds with a prompt for the password:

              Enter password for YACHTS:
