User Sets
The network form of a user name and user ID can have the following form:
For example, suppose a network user has a user ID of 3,3, a user name of
SALES.BOB, and is on the NYC node. This network user can be identified on an
access list with either of these forms:
\NYC.3,3
\NYC.SALES.BOB
In summary, the network form of a user ID or user name implies two things:
•
This user is known as a local user on more than one system.
•
This user has matching remote passwords for both systems set up on your system
and on the user’s local system.
User Sets
To specify all the members of a user group in a SAFECOM command, use a user set.
group-name.*
group-num,*
The Safeguard software interprets group-name.* and group-num,* differently
depending on the context.
In USER commands, these forms specify all the local users whose administrative
group is identified by group-name or group-num.
NETWORK FORM OF USER ID:
\node-spec.group-num , member-num
NETWORK FORM OF USER NAME:
\node-spec.group-name.member-name
Note. You may only use node-spec in the ACCESS clause of SAFECOM.
USER NAME FORMS:
{ group-name.* }
{ *.* }
{ \node-spec.group-name.* }
{ \node-spec.*.* }
USER ID FORMS:
