3696.0. "How smart is ACL$ DSAB ?" by UTRTSC::SCHOLLAERT (Holland goes USA) Wed Dec 22 1993 13:34

    Hello,
    
    Customer reports that IVP is listed as user of shared drawers
    instead of MANAGER. They have the same VMSUSR . On all our
    systems, MANAGER is displayed. 
    
    I don't understand how the ACL$ DSAB works. When I replace the
    VMSUSR field of an existing ALL-IN-1 user with the one of
    a user listed later in PROFIL, ACL$ does not pick it  up
    untill I temporary change the VMSUSR field of the last user
    to something completely different. 
    
    Can someone shed a light on this ?
    
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    
    ACL$ is just an ALL-IN-1 interface to the ACLs which are held in the
    file header blocks. Since what is stored there is the VMS user name,
    ACL$ has a go at converting this back to an ALL-IN-1 name, and uses the
    first one it finds. It is using the VMSUSR key-of-reference to PROFIL.
    
    I think you should be able to fiddle it to get the one you want by
    renaming the IVP account to XYZ and then renaming it back. Or (quicker
    and dirtier and be careful) achieve the same at the API level by WRITE
    COPY PROFIL and WRITE DELETE PROFIL functions!
    
    Cheers

    Stuart,
    
    Editing the VMSUSR field of IVP twice also does the trick.
    
    Thanks,
