4932.0. "local MIR for each user" by HKGACT::SUSANCHAN () Thu Apr 22 1993 07:17

If there are two DECmcc users on a DECmcc BMS Station and Local MIR is used, 
can each user has their private MIR data?  That is, User A will only see his
register entities and User B will only see his register entities.  

If it is impossible to have their private MIR, then how can the security 
be set up so that User A won't be able to access User B's entities and vice
versa?

The above can be setup when using DECdns.  There is really lack of documentation
on MIR Usage and setup.

Thanks,
Susan

    The idea of the local MIR instance repository is to provide something
    simple when you don't really need the complexity or functionality
    of NDS (network-wide consistency, access control, replication, etc).
    
    We don't need to reinvent a wheel by putting ACLs into the MIR.
    
    It is possible for two users to run separate MIRs via various 
    environmental variables etc (discussed in various places in this
    conference, maybe someone can point to it), but it is not really
    intended for a production environment, and not really for the purpose
    you have in mind.  (For example if you wanted to move an entity from 
    one MIR to another it would be very difficult).
