Enable or Disable the Use of Enterprise Users and Groups

CA Access Control cannot bu default use the groups and users defined in the enterprise user stores, but you can enable CA Access Control to do so. We recommend that you enable this feature unless you need compatibility with previous versions of CA Access Control.

To let CA Access Control use enterprise users and groups, set the configuration setting osuser_enabled to yes. To disable this behavior, set the value of osuser_enabled to no.

Example: Enable the Use of Enterprise Users and Groups on Windows

The following registry setting enables the use of enterprise users and groups on Windows:

• Key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\AccessControl\OS_user
• Name: osuser_enabled
• Type: REG_DWORD
• Value: yes

Example: Enable the Use of Enterprise Users and Groups on UNIX

The following commands stop CA Access Control, enable the use of enterprise users and groups on UNIX, and restart CA Access Control:

secons -s
seini -s OS_User.osuser_enabled yes
