NCLHELP.HLB  —  Directory Module, DSA  Characteristics  Writer Names
 The Writer Names attribute lists the distinguished
 names of users permitted to modify information held by this DSA.
 Having write access automatically gives read access as well.

 Syntax:
 	SET DSA WRITER NAMES {<name>, ....}

 where <name> is the distinguished name of a user, for example:

 	"/C=US/O=Abacus/OU=Sales/CN='Jon Smith'"

 Refer to DSA Common_Datatypes for more information
 on how to specify a distinguished name.

 Note that this is not the recommended way to implement controls
 on user access to directory information. Refer to HP Enterprise
 Directory  - Management for access control advice.

 If the attribute specifies no names, then the DSA places no
 restriction on access, (subject to access controls, and to the
 settings of Writer NSAPs, Reader Names, and Reader NSAPs
 characteristic attributes). However, if any names are listed,
 then only those users have access to information.

 The default value is an empty set of distinguished names, allowing
 all users to access information, subject to other attributes and
 access controls.

 Note also that the DSA refers to the value of this attribute
 whenever it receives a new connection. Once a connection is
 established, the caller is allowed write access for as
 long as the connection lasts. Changing the value of the
 attribute has no effect on existing connections, only on
 subsequent connections.
