Identifying Network Users
Identifying Network Users
You identify a user as a network user on an access control list by preceding the user ID
or user name with \*. (backslash-star-period).
The network forms for user IDs and user names are:
For example, if ADMIN.BOB (user ID 1,0) is a network user, either of these commands
gives him READ and WRITE access to the disk file QUARTER1:
=ALTER DISKFILE quarter1, ACCESS \test.admin.bob (r,w)
or
=ALTER DISKFILE quarter1, ACCESS \test.1,0 (r,w)
A user cannot use the network form of a user name to log on to the system. The
network form is used only for user identification within the Safeguard subsystem.
