rename Command—Rename a Database Record

Valid in the AC environment

Renames a record name in the database. The record is now known by its new name only.

Note: You cannot rename records in the SEOS, UACC, and ADMIN classes.

To use the rename command, you must have sufficient authority over the record. CA Access Control makes the following checks until one of the conditions is met:

• You have the ADMIN attribute.
• The resource record is within the scope of a group in which you have the GROUP‑ADMIN attribute.
• You are the owner of the record.
• You are assigned CREATE (for editres) access authority in the access control list of the resource class's record in the ADMIN class.

This command has the following format:

rename className oldresourceName newresourceName

className

Defines the class to which the record you want to rename belongs.

oldresourceName

Defines the current name of the record in CA Access Control.

newresourceName

Defines the new name you want to assign to the record.

Example

The user ADMIN 1 wants to rename the record spree3 in class Host to spree4.

• The security administrator has the ADMIN attribute.

  rename host spree3 spree4
