OSI Addresses
Security Group Attributes
The security group must be negotiated before these attributes are available. This
section describes the security group attributes.
Access-control. The access-control attribute specifies the conditions under which
access to a file is allowed. The conditions are defined by these elements: action list,
concurrency access, identity, passwords, and location. If at least the condition defined
by action-list is satisfied, access to the file is permitted. If more than the action-list
element is specified, the interdependencies among the elements need to be
considered. If none of these conditions is satisfied, file access is denied. The attribute
value is set when the file is created and changed by the change-attribute action.
Legal-qualifications. The legal-qualifications attribute provides information about the
file’s legal status and its use. The attribute value is set when the file is created and
changed by the change-attribute action.
Private Group Attribute
Private-use. The private group consists of only the private-use attribute. This attribute
is set when the file is created and changed by the change-attribute action. ISO 8571
does not define this attribute. Furthermore, ISO 8571-2, clause 12.18 strongly
discourages its use. NonStop FTAM does not support this attribute.
OSI Addresses
If two FTAM entities (for example, an FTAM initiator application and FTAM responder
process) are to communicate over an OSI network, they must be able to locate each
other. This is accomplished through a fully qualified presentation address. The fully
qualified presentation address consists of several components that relate to the OSI
layered architecture. For FTAM programming, you need to know only what values were
assigned at configuration to the fully qualified presentation address for the responder
and initiator your application uses. For details about OSI addressing, refer to ISO 7498,
Part 3 (OSI Basic Reference Model: Naming and Addressing). For more information on
how NonStop FTAM implements OSI addresses, see Section 3, NonStop FTAM
Programming, or the OSI/FTAM Configuration and Management Manual.
