RE: Library Security

David,

the authorisation lists will work.  MAPICS adopted(inherited) authority only
works on the programs, not with query.  We have 7 shared environments and no
one can query the other's files unless they are on the authorisation list.
Check to see if your library authority is set for *use or *exclude.

Hi there,

Wonder if anyone has a solution to this:
We are running 5 live MAPICS XA R6 environments on our AS/400, using a
shared programme library. The environments are for sites in different
countries and I want to limit each sites users to their own environment.
For using MAPICS this is easy via the CAS Environment Access security
area, but it is a problem for users who need AS/400 query. All users
have *LMTCPB set to yes, so they have no command line access, so I have
created a MAPICS command to basically run WRKQRY. However once the user
is in this option they can query all AMFLIBy's of all environments. If I
try to secure the libraries with authorisation lists, this seems to get
overridden once they are in MAPICS, because (I think) they inherit some
kind of AMAPICS authority once they are in an environment.
Any ideas?

Many thanks,

David Unwin.
