NAME
rdacl_test_access - Tests access to an object
SYNOPSIS
#include <dce/rdaclif.h>
boolean32 rdacl_test_access(
handle_t h,
sec_acl_component_name_t component_name,
uuid_t *manager_type,
sec_acl_permset_t desired_permset,
error_status_t *status);
PARAMETERS
Input
h A handle referring to the target object.
component_name
A character string containing the name of the target object.
manager_type
A pointer to the UUID identifying the type of the ACL manager in
question. There may be more than one type of ACL manager
protecting the object whose ACL is bound to the input handle.
Use this parameter to distinguish them. Use
sec_acl_get_manager_types() to acquire a list of the manager
types protecting a given object.
desired_permset
A permission set in sec_acl_permset_t form containing the desired
privileges. This is a 32-bit set of permission flags supported by
the manager type.
Output
status
A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion,
the routine returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an
error.
DESCRIPTION
The rdacl_test_access() routine determines if the specified ACL contains
entries granting privileges to the calling process matching those in
desired_permset. An application generally only inquires after the
minimum set of privileges needed to accomplish a specific task.
NOTES
This call is not intended to be used by application programs. The
sec_acl Application Programming Interface (API) provides all the
functionality necessary to use the ACL facility. This reference page
is provided for programmers who wish to write an ACL manager. In
order to write an ACL manager, a programmer must implement the entire
rdacl interface.
This network interface is called on the client side via the sec_acl
local interface. Developers are responsible for implementing the server
side of this interface. Test server code is included as a sample
implementation.
FILES
SYS$COMMON:[DCE$LIBRARY]RDACLIF.IDL
The idl file from which dce/rdaclif.h was derived.
ERRORS
sec_acl_unknown_manager_type
The manager type selected is not an available option.
error_status_ok
The call was successful.
