When installing CA Access Control, consider the issue of CA Access Control coexistence with other programs on the computer.
CA Access Control runs in an environment alongside other programs, for example, CA Antivirus. This can lead to collisions between CA Access Control and the programs running on the local computer. To this end, the coexistence utility (eACoexist.exe) runs during CA Access Control installation to detect programs on the local computer that can cause a conflict. The utility uses a plug-in (binary module) for each coexisting program CA Access Control supports. If a program CA Access Control detects is trusted, CA Access Control registers the program by creating a SPECIALPGM rule. This SPECIALPGM rule determines the access to this program and makes sure that CA Access Control bypasses it when granting access.
Note: For more information about the eACoexist utility and the supported plug-ins, see the Reference Guide.
Example: Trusted Program Rules for Dr Watson
This example shows you the trusted program rules the coexistence utility can create for the Dr Watson application if it discovers it on the same computer as CA Access Control. These rules are as follows on a computer with a default Windows 2000 Server installation:
editres SPECIALPGM ('C:\WINNT\system32\DRWTSN32.EXE') pgmtype(DCM)
editres PROGRAM ('C:\WINNT\system32\DRWTSN32.EXE') owner(nobody) defacc(x) trust
