1.8.1 Userids
Users are specified as follows:
Syntax:
[\Node.]<Group Name>.<User Name> –or– [\Node.]<Group Number>,<User Number>
You can enter userids as user names or user numbers. Remember that if you enter a
user name, XUA will check for the userid’s existence on the node where it is running.
You can use an asterisk ( * ) in either the GROUP position or the MEMBER position.
And userids can include node names (or an asterisk to represent all nodes) when
appropriate, as follows:
*.* represents all local userids.
\*.*.* represents all network userids.
\NODEA.*.* represents all userids on \NODEA.
Note: Some products, such as XYGATE Host Session Encryption (XHE), do not allow
you to specify node names in user lists because all actions are local.
Example: How to wildcard userids
a)
SECURITY.ADMIN
Local SECURITY.ADMIN
b)
SECURITY.*
All local members of the SECURITY group
c)
*.MGR
All local userids with the member name MGR, regardless of
group
d)
*.255
All local 255 group members, regardless of group
e)
\*.SECURITY.ADMIN
Network SECURITY.ADMIN
f)
\*.SECURITY.*
All network members of the SECURITY group
g)
\*.*.MGR
All network userids with the member name MGR, regardless
of group
h)
\*.*.255
The 255 member of all groups from any node
i)
\NODE1.*.255
The 255 member of all groups from \NODE1
j)
\NODE1.SECURITY.*
All members of the SECURITY group from \NODE1
Remember that the operating system will automatically upshift any user names when
making comparisons, so you can enter them in either uppercase or lowercase type.
