Next Topic: RULES Command (CA VM:Secure only)

Description

The RULEMAP command displays different information for different types of users. It is available only when the Rules Facility is installed.

Information the RULEMAP command can display depends on how your user authorizations are set up, but typically includes the following:

These users:

Can display:

System administrators

Rules file information at the system, security group, or user level

Security group managers

Rules file information for the security group they manage and for any member of their security group

Users

Rules file information about their own rules file and any security group of which they may be a member

Example

To see which rules have been created that pertain to your user ID (SAM), enter:

vmsecure rulemap

CA VM:Secure responds:

ENTER YOUR LOGON PASSWORD:

Enter your password. CA VM:Secure displays the rules for your user ID:

DEFAULT SYSRULES: ACCEPT SAM AUTOLOG ( HISTORY
OVERRIDE SYSRULES: ACCEPT SAM MEMBER
JOHN USRRULES: ACCEPT SAM LINK * * ( HISTORY

You do not need to specify your user ID, since that is the default. In this example, a system default rule allows SAM to autolog other virtual machines, and places a history statement in the other user directory entry whenever this occurs. The system override rule allows SAM to become a temporary member of any security group. Finally, user ID JOHN has created a rule allowing SAM to link to any of his virtual devices in any link mode with a record of the links being entered in JOHN’s history information.
