2254.0. "How to create a group using an UAF identifier as selection key ?" by BACHUS::COLLART (Li p'ti fouineu) Fri Feb 12 1993 16:27

    Hello all,


    Is it possible to create a group containing all users having the same UAF
    identifier.

    The UAF identifier was previously used to create a group of VMS users and a
    customer wants to create the same group in ALL-IN-1 without entering
    manually all usernames.......

    Thanks

    Eric.

2254.1ACL$ doesn't allow you toUTES09::EIJSSimon Eijs @Utrecht, 7838-2558Mon Feb 15 1993 08:5718
    
    Hi,
    
    I don't think so. One of our customers has a similar kind of setup (all
    accounts belomging to one user the same UAF identifier) but ALL-IN-1
    (or better Group Services and Drawer Management) couldn't handle this.
    The way it did work in the end was to create a dummy UAF entry (e.g.
    GROUP_ENGINEERS) and assign that identifier to the different UAF
    entries. Not really an ideal solution.
    
    The ACL$ doesn't handle the situation as described by you. 
    
    So I think the customer should not only create the groups again name by
    name, by also change something in the UAF entries.
    
    Ciao,

    With some study of the Application Programming Books, you could
    probably produce some code that would use UAI$ to loop through SYSUAF,
    lookups in PROFIL to check the ALL-IN-1 account names, and the GROUP
    functions to add the members to the Group.

    PS Please spell ALL-IN-1 correctly, all in capitals, as it's a trade
    mark. I've corrected your base note.
2254.3Depends what .0 meant by "identifier"SCOTTC::MARSHALLSpitfire Drivers Do It ToplessMon Feb 15 1993 11:0811
Hmmm,

I read .0 to mean that they had a group of VMS accounts, all of whom had been
given a VMS rights identifier.

This should make it easy to turn this into an ALL-IN-1 group, as an ALL-IN-1
group is basically just a set of VMS accounts with VMS rights identifiers.

So some magic incantations with the group functions should be all that's needed?
