COM Class

Each record in the COM class defines a device specifying a serial port (COM) or a parallel port (LPT) as listed in the Windows Control Panel, Ports.

Note: You cannot create new objects in the COM class using CA ControlMinder.

The key of the COM class is the name of the port being controlled.

The following definitions describe the properties contained in this class record. Most properties are modifiable and can be manipulated using selang or the administration interfaces. Non-modifiable properties are marked informational.

DEV

(Informational). A string to indicate the device serial number.

DACL

Defines the standard access control list that contains the user names and group names authorized to access the resource, and the level of access granted to each.

Users who want to modify this property must be the owner of the resource or have special access to the resource (to modify the ACL).

Each element in the access control list contains the following information:

Access Type

Specifies permissions to the resource:

  • Allowed-Permits special access to the resource.
  • Denied-Denies special access to the resource.
Accessor

The user or group for whom the access rights are allowed or denied.

Access

The access authority that the accessor has to the resource.

Note: In an empty ACL, no accesses are explicitly granted, so access is implicitly denied. For a resource that has no ACL, no protection is assigned to the object, so any access request is granted.

Use auth or auth- command to modify this property.

GID

Displays the group information for the file or device.

OWNER

Defines the user or group that owns the record.

SACL

Windows System Access Control List. Displays audit directives.
