Configuring Disk-File Control
DIRECTION-DISKFILE
Determines which direction to search for access control lists if more than one of
the preceding attributes is ON. The value can be either VOLUME-FIRST or
FILENAME-FIRST. This attribute is used in conjunction with
COMBINATION-DISKFILE. (For more information, see the following note.) The
initial value is VOLUME-FIRST.
COMBINATION-DISKFILE
Determines how conflicts are resolved among volume, subvolume, and disk file
access control lists. This attribute is used in conjunction with
DIRECTION-DISKFILE (for more information, see the following note). The value
can be FIRST-ACL, FIRST-RULE, or ALL. The initial value is ALL.
ACL-REQUIRED-DISKFILE
If no access control list is found, access is denied. If this attribute is OFF, and no
Safeguard protection record is found, the Guardian security settings are used. The
initial value is OFF.
CLEARONPURGE-DISKFILE
Sets disk files to all zeros when purged. If set to OFF, the disk space is deallocated
when purged, but the data is not set to zeros. The initial value is OFF.
CHECK-DISKFILE-PATTERN
Specifies how to search diskfile patterns.
OFF
specifies that no pattern searches will occur.
FIRST
specifies that pattern searching will occur first, if and only if the result is
NORECORD then the normal search for a protection record will occur.
Note. COMBINATION-DISKFILE resolves conflicts among volume, subvolume, and disk-file
access control lists. The Safeguard software searches for an access control list in the order
determined by DIRECTION-DISKFILE. If you want to use the first access control list it finds,
specify FIRST-ACL. If you want the search to continue until it finds an access control list that
involves the user ID (either ACCESS or DENY), specify FIRST-RULE. If you want to allow
access only if specified on all access control lists, specify ALL.
Caution. If you set ACL-REQUIRED-DISKFILE ON, you must have an access control list for
the SAFECOM program file that grants execute authority to you. Otherwise, when you
complete your current session, you cannot control Safeguard through the SAFECOM
command interpreter because you cannot run SAFECOM.
