Access records are used to grant or deny access to users and groups in local and remote SCHEDULE client to server connections. The establishment and updating of records in the database is performed automatically when users log in and connect to the server from local or remote clients. However, it may be necessary to edit records to grant more or less privilege or to adjust proxy settings from a remote node.
The Access Records are stored in several directories that are accessible to users with All Access privileges. These directories are:
Directory |
Description |
\syscontrol\ |
Top level directory for access records |
\syscontrol\users\ |
User access records |
\syscontrol\groups\ |
Group access records |
\syscontrol\identifiers\ |
Identifiers for group and user records. Assigned by the system |
\sysproxy\ |
Top directory for proxy records |
The SYSPROXY directory contains subdirectories that contain proxy map information for any users that have connected to the current local server. When a user attempts to connect to the server, a hierarchical search is performed to determine if the user has connected previously and then grants whatever privileges are assigned. The search is performed in the following order:
The file sch0_proxy.dat (in the schedule directory) file is searched for user information.
Any directory with a name that is an IP address is searched.
Any directory that is a fully qualified TCP/IP name is searched.
Any directory that is a fully qualified NT domain is searched.
Any directory that is a regular host name is searched.
Directory names representing the domain and node name of incoming remote connections use a variety of conventions. These are:
Directory |
Description |
\fjones |
Simple host name |
\home_domain _2Efjones |
Fully qualified NT domain name |
\fjones _2Ei _2Ds _2Ee _2E com |
Fully qualified TCP/IP Domain name |
\192 _2E168 _2E0 _2E142 |
IP Address |
Note Because of multiple platform compatibility issues, periods(.), slashes(/), back slashes(\) and dashes (-) are represented symbolically within directory names under the SYSPROXY directory at the command prompt. These symbols are: _2E for period, _2F for slash, _5C for back slash and _2D for dash. |
