Procedure

This utility verifies and modifies only the records applicable to your Con-nect node.

Processing Sequence

When this utility is run, the following steps are performed.

  1. Check table of users - Central Directory
    All authorized users in the central directory's authorization tables are verified against the Con-nect system file. If a user is not authorized in Con-nect, authorization for the user is restored. However, if a user is not defined in Con-nect, authorization for that user is deleted from the authorization tables.

  2. Check table of users - Con-nect
    All authorized users defined in the Con-nect system file are verified against the central directory's authorization tables. If a record for a user is not present in the authorization tables, authorization for that user is deleted from Con-nect.

  3. Check table of cabinets - Central Directory
    All authorized public cabinets defined to the central directory's authorization tables are verified against the Con-nect system file. If a cabinet is not authorized in Con-nect, authorization for the cabinet is restored. However, if a cabinet is not defined in Con-nect, authorization for that cabinet is deleted from the authorization tables.

  4. Check table of cabinets - Con-nect
    All authorized public cabinets defined in the Con-nect system file are verified against the central directory's authorization tables. If a record for a cabinet is not present in the authorization tables, authorization for that cabinet is deleted in Con-nect.

  5. Check table of members - Central Directory
    All authorized memberships defined to the central directory are verified against the Con-nect system file. The following occurs:

    • If a shared cabinet is not defined in Con-nect, authorization for the cabinet is deleted from the central directory.

    • If an external membership is not authorized in Con-nect and the external user is defined in the authorization table (as an authorized user on his local Con-nect), authorization for the membership is restored in Con-nect.

    • If an external membership is not authorized in Con-nect and the external user is not defined in the authorization tables (as an authorized user on his local Con-nect), authorization for the external user is deleted from the authorization tables.

  6. Check table of members - Con-nect
    All authorized memberships defined in the Con-nect system file are verified against the central directory's authorization tables. If a record for a membership is not present in the authorization tables, authorization for that membership is deleted from Con-nect.

Batch Example
