2881.0. "Migrating users to Group Services" by MIMS::MORABITO_P () Thu Jun 17 1993 23:49



Environment:

	VAX/VMS - 5.5-2
	ALL-IN-1 IOS - 3.0



I have a customer that is using ALL-IN-1 3.0 and has discovered that shared 
drawers are using a lot of ACLs and causing a degradation in performance.
Most drawers have many users that have access to them.  Group Services seems 
like it would solve this problem.  My question is, how can she change from 
individual identifiers to group identifiers for drawer access?  Is there an 
easier way to do this other than taking off the ACLs, creating a group, and 
then readding the group ACL to the each drawer file cabinet?  The customer has
SFCP migated drawers and she would like to put them into groups as well.  Is 
there anyway to make SFCP drawers go into group services during the upgrade?

I am sure I am not the only that has come accross this issue.  Any ideas 
would be appreciated.

	Paul, I do not know of anything written to do this. Use VMS SEARCH on oa$lib:.com and oa$lib:.scp for "ACL ", this will give you some examples, ideas from both the VMS and ALL-IN-1 Levels. Also, the named data, etc.. for group and oa$lib:sfcp_convert_acl.scp might be a good starting point. HTH, Tim
2881.2	Tool for solving the problem	COPCLU::VAGN	Vagn Eisensee @DMO	`Tue Jun 22 1993 15:01`	45
	I have made a tool called Shared Drawer System Administration, which does exactly what you are asking for in .0 When a new shared drawer is created, ALL-IN-1 also creates 4 groups which are added as users of the shared drawer. Each group corresponds to a certain access level to the shared drawer, and when ading users you just add the user as member of one of the groups. In this way you keep the number of ACL's down to a minimum of 4. The system also adds a record to the users FILECAB, so that the user does not have to do any administration himself. The managers menu of the system looks like this: MANAGER @DMO Tir 22-Jun-1993 Shared Drawer System Administration SEL Select drawer Name: ISO 9000 SU Select user User: JOHANSEN.HANS PETER Hans Peter Johansen @DMO C Create user as member E Edit user privileges D Delete user as member I Index of members of selected drawer IUD Index of users drawers CD Create new drawer DD Delete drawer and contents ID Index of drawers Enter option and press RETURN The system has been offered to the danish ALL-IN-1 accounts as part of an upgrade package from an old shared file cabinet system, and has been quite a sales success this spring.

	And of course Vagn (being a nice guy) is going to make his code available on the network.... Or to ASSETS? T
2881.4	How about including it in the product?	MIMS::MORABITO_P		`Wed Jun 23 1993 18:00`	5
	Thanks for the ideas. At least this gives the customer something to try. It would be nice if this was an asset, although it seems that customers these days don't want to pay for anything. Paul
2881.5	Kit available on the network	COPCLU::VAGN	Vagn Eisensee @DMO	`Wed Jun 30 1993 15:39`	14
	Hi There is a kit available on the network in the file COPCLU::SDA_ENGLISH.BCK, It includes some documentation, and I have been through the code to make sure that everything is english. Regards Vagn
