Has anybody come across the behavior below with casing and ACL_EDIT?
Your help/suggestions appreciated.

1) DCE 1.3, Digital Alpha 6.2
2) I have reviewed the published list of fixes for 1.4, and this one is
not in it.
3) We are using acl_edit to put acl's on a database we have in memory.
This database consists of uppercase data elements. When we use acl_edit
to put acl's on the elements, instead of returning the element in
uppercase, it returns it lower case.
Example:
acl_edit /.:/eti_servers/scada_server/USH1S001
where USH1S001 is a data element. acl_edit returns
ush1s0001
The OSF specification should return the object without change. Our
current work around is to use Gradients 1.03b and the Microsoft NT
platform.

DCL uppercases everything on the command line so acl_edit needs to adjust by lowercasing. If the target object is quoted, you should bypass this feature. See the two examples below. Dave Case 1 Unquoted string ADU26A> acl_edit /.:/sec/principal/hosts/ADU26A -l # SEC_ACL for /.:/sec/principal/hosts/adu26a: # Default cell = /.../tu_cell.zko.dec.com unauthenticated:r----- user:cell_admin:rcidDn group:acct-admin:rcidDn other_obj:r----- any_other:r----- Case 2: quoted ADU26A> acl_edit "/.:/sec/principal/hosts/ADU26A" -l ERROR: acl object not found (dce / sec) Unable to bind to object /.:/sec/principal/hosts/ADU26A | |||||
