To Set Access Control for a User

Steps

1. Create an instance of the Solaris_UserAcl class.

   ...
   /* Create a name space object initialized with root\security
   (name of name space) on the local host. */
   
   CIMNameSpace cns = new CIMNameSpace("", "root\security");
   
   // Connect to the root\security name space as root. 
   cc = new CIMClient(cns, user, user_passwd);
   
   // Get the Solaris_UserAcl class 
   cimclass = cc.getClass(new CIMObjectPath("Solaris_UserAcl");
   
   // Create a new instance of the Solaris_UserAcl
   class ci = cimclass.newInstance();
   ...

2. Set the capability property to the desired access rights.

   ...
   /* Change the access rights (capability) to read/write for user Guest
   on objects in the root\molly name space.*/
   ci.setProperty("capability", new CIMValue(new String("rw")); 
   ci.setProperty("nspace", new CIMValue(new String("root\molly")); 
   ci.setProperty("username", new CIMValue(new String("guest"));
   ...

3. Update the instance.

   ...
   // Pass the updated instance to the CIM Object Manager 
   cc.createInstance(new CIMObjectPath(), ci);
   ...
