Rules Database

CA VM:Secure rules are stored in the rules database. The rules database consists of a group of files stored on the RULE minidisk created for the service virtual machine. Each rules file contains a number of statements that set up the rules for a particular user ID or security group. The file name of each rules file matches a user ID or group name. The file type of each rules file indicates what kind of rules the file contains.

The rules database is comprised of five types of rules files:

• System override rules file
• Security group rules files
• User rules files
• Security group default rules files
• System default rules file

Note: For more information about each of the types of rules files, see Security with the Rules Facility.
