OSI/FTAM
Configuration and Management Manual
.
The VFS actions allowed by the FTAM responder depend on the Guardian security (R
W E P) for a file and the user ID for the association. For example, if you have Compaq
purge access to a given file, the responder allows the FTAM delete-file action. Table
4-17 shows the Guardian access required for each FTAM VFS action.
Refer to the Compaq
File Utility Program (FUP) Reference Manual
, the Compaq
Enscribe Programmer’s Guide
, and, if your files are Safeguard protected, the Compaq
Safeguard Reference Manual
for information about setting READ, WRITE, and PURGE
access to a file.
Because the Compaq responder runs under the user ID for an association, Guardian
security and Safeguard security are both enforced. The responder cannot translate
Safeguard security attributes into the FTAM access-control attribute. Therefore, when a
remote application reads the attributes of a file that the Safeguard software protects, the
access-control attribute indicates that no value is available. However, the Safeguard
software still protects FTAM access to the file. Note that for such a file, the read-
attribute action does not tell you which file-access actions you may perform.
If a file-access request is rejected because the user ID does not meet the Guardian
security requirements of the file, the responder sends a diagnostic message to the
application, and also generates an EMS
event message
indicating a security violation on
a file-access attempt.
Table 4-17 shows the exclusion mode that applies to each FTAM VFS action. Files
open for read actions are open for SHARED access, allowing more than one user to
open a file concurrently for reading. Files open for insert, replace, extend, and erase
