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.
