Example: Enable Static Roles in Democorp

This example shows how to enable static roles in Democorp. To enable roles, you need to change the DSA's settings, which means that you have to stop and start the DSA. These instructions also describe how to identify which settings file is used by the Democorp DSA.

To enable static roles in Democorp

1. Identify which settings file is used by Democorp, as follows:
   1. Open Democorp's initialization file in a text editor.
   2. Find the following schema file statement:

      	source "../settings/dxmanager.dxc"; 
      

      This means that when the Democorp DSA starts, it uses the settings in settings/dxmanager.dxc. You need to add the role commands to this file.

2. Stop the Democorp DSA.
3. Add the commands to enable static roles to the Democorp settings file. To do this:
   1. Ensure that the settings file is writable, and then open it in a text editor.
   2. Add the following lines to the settings file:

      	#roles
      	set role-subtree = <c AU><o Democorp><ou Groups>;
      	set use-roles = true;
      

   3. Close and save the settings file.
4. Start the DSA.

   The Democorp DSA can now use static groups as roles. You can now set limits or access controls for any such groups you have created.
