New Features of LU Exporter - Version 941229
Faster Operation
----------------
Improved performance of single/range of user export.
This version now skips all users that are not needed.
This improves performance radically.
Real-Time Status Display
------------------------
New "-V" option provides Verbose status information about
all operations. This gives you a progress report of all
operations (expecially when handling >64K of ACLs). A
graphical display shows you the speed of different
operations. We normally add this option to all of our
command lines so that we can guage when an operation will be
completed. The verbose status information does not go into
the log files since it provides you with visual cues only.
Detect and Repair Access Control Lists
---------------------------------------
New "-BAD" option checks access control entries for
access lists. Empty ACLs and non-existent directories/files
with resources are flagged. The program now generates a
file: FIXACL.ICU that can used in the BA program to erase
the bad entries. Each entry is annotated.
You must combine the -BAD with the -ACCESS parameter for
this feature to operate.
Possible Trap Condition Corrected
----------------------------------
Corrected bug that could cause a trap if a drive was
checked for ACLs and there were none.
Added Selection Criteria for Groups and ACEs
--------------------------------------------
-UN: option now limits user and group information for
USER, GROUP, and ACEs This allows you to export the access
control information for a single user/group.
ACE or ACL Only Reports Now Available
--------------------------------------
Export data for access control can be limited to either
-ACL (resources/server) or -ACE (users/groups/server)
information. Both are listed by -ACC (all access
information). Using the -UN option you can now export the
access control info for a specific user or group.
Import DCDB & NET.ACC Info Without Editing
------------------------------------------
In this version you can change the header sections from
[..._LIST] to ADD, UPDATE, or DELETE sections using the new
-E option. The next letter after -E stands for the type of
section(s) to generate. A=ADD, D=DELETE, U=UPDATE. This is
then followed by a colon followed by the type of resource
section tochange. The resource names are: [USE]ER, [GRO]UP,
[ALI]IAS,[APP]LICATIONS,[ACL],[ACE],[ALL].You can use more
than one option at a time. The ALL option changes all
sections that are generated.
For example, to change the user export from a list to an
ADD, you would enter the command:
-EA:USER
To change the ACE entries from LIST to UPDATE, you would use
the command:
-EU:ACE
For example, to refresh the access permissions for the user
"PHIL" with the file REFRESH.ICU you would use the following
command to create the change file:
LU -ACE -UN:PHIL -EU:ACE -V -O:REFRESH.ICU
To then apply this newly created file, you would use the
command:
BA -I:REFRESH.ICU
Servers and Users Now Listed in ACL and ACE sections
----------------------------------------------------
We now provide lists of servers, users, and groups that
are inaccess sections. The lists can be renamed to
[ACCESS_ADD], [ACCESS_DELETE], and [ACCESS_UPDATE] using the
-E option. This allows access sections to be processed in
BA.EXE with no editing needed. Lists of users/groups can be
narrowed with -UN option.
Adjustable Buffer Size for Large ACLs
-------------------------------------
When accessing directory entries from remote servers that
have large drives, you can control the buffering of entries.
You can buffer 1, 3 or 64K worth of directory entries. When
accessing a LAN Server 3.0 domain with HPFS-386 from an LAN
Server 4.0 requester, only the 1 entry buffer should be used
(bug in LAN Server 4.0)--this is the default. In other
cases you can use the larger buffer size. The option is
controlled with the switches:
-BUF1 Buffer one directory entry only (default)
-BUF3 Buffer 3 entries
-BUF64K Buffer a full 64Kbytes of entries (best performance)
Cross Reference Report Now Shows Logon Assignments
--------------------------------------------------
Added functionality to cross reference report. This
version not displays the logon assignment for each user in
the report. If you want to make sure that all of the users
have the same logon assignments, this feature shows you all
of your logon assignments by resource.
Command Line, Userid, and Machine ID now echoed
-----------------------------------------------
Additional information is now provided on
all reports.
Rewrote Exporter to handle LAN Server Internal Error
----------------------------------------------------
In some cases, LAN Server would return an
error code of 2140 (LAN Server Internal Error). This
version uses a rewritten version to work around this
LAN Server bug. We also achieved faster user info
lookup also.
Exported Encrypted Passwords Might not be Importable
-----------------------------------------------------
This version now truncates the password to 32 characters in
both the importer and exporter. This will allow you to use
existing files with control characters in the Encrypted
Password field.
