The Solaris_NamespaceAcl Class

The Solaris_NamespaceAcl extends the Solaris_Acl base class, from which it inherits the string property capability with a default value r (read-only for GUEST and all users). The Solaris_NamespaceAcl class defines the following key property.

How to Set Access Control on a Namespace

1. Create an instance of the Solaris_namespaceAcl class. For example:

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

2. Set the capability property to the desired access rights. For example:

   ...
   /* Change the access rights (capability) to read/write 
   to the root\molly namespace. */
   ci.setProperty("capability", new CIMValue(new String("rw")); 
   ci.setProperty("nspace", new CIMValue(new String("root\molly"));
   ...

3. Update the instance. For example:

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