VN = <input_file_name>

 

 

 

where input_file_name is a text file that contains definitions for

 

 

 

dACLs.

 

 

 

On ACS for Windows, this file resides in a directory on the

 

 

 

Windows machine that is running ACS.

 

 

 

On the ACS SE, this file resides on an FTP server used with the

 

 

 

ACS SE.

 

 

 

You can specify the absolute file path; for example:

 

 

 

C:\DACL\create_DACL_for_User_1.txt for ACS for Windows.

 

 

 

The dACL definition is ignored if it is already present, or contains

 

 

 

an invalid definition, content name, content definition, or NAF

 

 

 

name.

 

 

 

 

380

CREATE_USER_DACL

UNGN, VN

This action code associates a specified dACL with a User or

ACS. The codes are:

 

 

 

UN = valid Username

 

 

 

GN = Valid Group name (optional)

 

 

 

VN = dACL name. (This dACL must be defined in Shared Profile

 

 

 

Components).

 

 

 

 

Step 4: Configure RDBMS Synchronization to Use a Local CSV File

To configure RDBMS Synchronization to use a local CSV file:

Step 1 In the navigation bar, click System Configuration.

Step 2 Click RDBMS Synchronization.

Note If this feature does not appear, choose Interface Configuration > Advanced Options, then check the RDBMS Synchronization check box.

The RDBMS Synchronization Setup page appears.

Step 3 If you are using ACS for Windows, complete these steps:

a.Complete the required fields on the RDBMS Synchronization Setup page (Figure 4-1).
