NAME
rdacl_replace - Replaces an ACL
SYNOPSIS
#include <dce/rdaclif.h>
void rdacl_replace(
handle_t h,
sec_acl_component_name_t component_name,
uuid_t *manager_type,
sec_acl_type_t sec_acl_type,
sec_acl_list_t *sec_acl_list,
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.
sec_acl_type
The ACL type. The sec_acl_type_t data type distinguishes the
various types of ACLs an object can possess for a given manager
type. The possible values are as follows:
+ sec_acl_type_object
+ sec_acl_type_default_object
+ sec_acl_type_default_container
sec_acl_list
The new ACL to use for the target object. This is represented by
a pointer to the sec_acl_list_t structure containing the complete
Access Control List. An ACL contains a list of ACL entries, the
UUID of the default cell where authentication takes place
(foreign entries in the ACL contain the name of their parent
cell), and the UUID of the ACL manager to interpret the list.
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_replace() routine replaces the ACL indicated by the input
handle with the information in the sec_acl_list parameter. ACLs are
thought of as immutable, and in order to modify them, an editing
application must read an entire ACL (using the sec_acl_lookup()
routine), modify it as needed, and replace it using this routine.
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.

ERRORS
sec_acl_unknown_manager_type
The manager type selected is not an available option.
error_status_ok
The call was successful.
