DCE 1.2.1 Features and Programming Notes

Transition of ACL Managers

OSD DCE 1.2.1 provides ACL management facilities within libdce.

The sec_acl_mgr API is obsolete, and it is no longer necessary to write

an ACL manager. Refer to the OSF DCE documentation to determine

how to use the new dce_acl API to greatly reduce the amount of

specialized ACL code that might have to be dealt with.

Application builders may want to try building their existing

applications against DCE 1.2.1 before migrating their ACL

management layer to the DCE supported dce_acl API. DCE 1.2.1

includes a backward-compatible set of header ﬁles that match the

header ﬁles used by applications in previous DCE releases. Replace any

instance of:

#include <dce/daclmgr.h> with #include <dce/daclmgrv0.h>

In makeﬁles and in application program, change all instances of:

dalmgr to daclmgrv0

These header ﬁles are provided as a transition aid only and should be

used only until application is migrated to the dce_acl API.
