This attribute lists the NSAP addresses that directory
applications can use to communicate with this DSA and modify
directory information. Any application attempting to use
an unlisted NSAP is not allowed to modify information held by
this DSA. It might be able to read information, subject to
the Reader_NSAPs attribute. Having write access automatically
gives read access as well.
Note that this attribute is not the recommended way to implement
access control. Refer to HP Enterprise Directory
- Management for access control advice.
Syntax:
SET DSA WRITER NSAPS {<address>, ....}
where <address> is the NSAP address, for example:
SET DSA WRITER NSAPS {%x49002aaa00040008aa21}
You can specify the leading characters of an NSAP to indicate
that access is allowed for any application using an NSAP beginning
with that sequence of characters. For example:
SET DSA WRITER NSAPS {%x49002a}
The default value is an empty set of NSAP addresses, indicating
that an application can use any NSAP.
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.
