ADD DISKFILE-PATTERN Command
AUDIT-MANAGE-FAIL [audit-spec]
changes the audit-spec for unsuccessful attempts to manage (change or
read) a diskfile-pattern authorization record. The form of audit-spec is:
{ ALL | LOCAL | REMOTE | NONE }
For a description of audit-spec, see the
SET DISKFILE Command on
page 8-57. Omitting audit-spec specif
ies NONE.
WARNING-MODE { ON | OFF }
defines whether the warning mode is enabled for the specified diskfile pattern.
The value is required. For more information on the warning mode, see the
Safeguard Administrator's Manual.
ON enables warning mode for the specified diskfile pattern. The initial value is
OFF, which disables warning mode for the specified diskfile pattern.
Considerations
Attributes in an ADD command affect only the record added.
Any attribute specifications in an ADD DISKFILE command affect only the
authorization record being created and do not change the current default disk-file
attribute values. This condition is also true for a LIKE clause in an ADD DISKFILE
command.
Disk-file security can be managed from a remote node.
An authorization record for a disk file can be added by only the local owner of the
file, the owner’s group manager, or the super ID. However, if a disk-file
authorization record is added that specifies a network user ID for the OWNER
attribute, the authorization record can be altered, frozen, thawed, and deleted by
that network user from a remote or local node.
Relationship between ADD DISKFILE and the FUP GIVE, SECURE, LICENSE,
and REVOKE commands
After you create an authorization record for a
disk file, the FUP GIVE, SECURE,
LICENSE, and REVOKE commands no longer work for the disk file. You must use
the ALTER DISKFILE command to perform the equivalent operations. (For a list of
equivalent FUP and SAFECOM commands, see the Considerations for ALTER
DISKFILE Command on page 8-21.)
However, the super ID can use the FUP SECURE, LICENSE, and REVOKE
commands on a disk file that has a Safeguard protection record. Even though this
usage is allowed, restrict it to emergency situations. It can result in access
mediation problems and inconsistencies in Safeguard protection records.
