SNACFG Should Allow Configuration of Host Security Domains

ID: Q236847

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SNA Server, versions 4.0, 4.0 SP1, 4.0 SP2

SUMMARY

Configuring Host Security Domains can only be done using SNA Manager. Customers that rely on SNA Server's command line utility (Snacfg.exe) are unable to set configurations for Host Security Domains.

SNA Server's command-line interface has been enhanced so it is now possible to create, delete, or modify Host Security Domains.

The Host Security Integration feature requires that information about Host Security Domains is stored on the Host Security Database hosted on the Windows NT primary domain controller. Creating a Host Security domain also creates two user groups, one for the Users and one for Proxy. Therefore, this enhancement can't really be used offline: the administrator must be logged on to the Windows NT domain where the SNA subdomain configuration file will be used.

The syntax of this command is:

SNACFG HSDOMAIN /LIST
SNACFG HSDOMAIN hsdomainname
SNACFG HSDOMAIN hsdomainname /PRINT
SNACFG HSDOMAIN hsdomainname /ADD [options]
SNACFG HSDOMAIN hsdomainname [options]
SNACFG HSDOMAIN hsdomainname /DELETE

Available options are:

/NAMES:{ MAP | REPLICATE }
/PASSWORDS:{ MAP | REPLICATE }
/OVERRIDE:{ Yes | No }
/ENABLEUSER:text
/DISABLEUSER:text
/ENABLEPROXY:text
/DISABLEPROXY:text
/INSERTCONN:text
/REMOVECONN:text

Text implies that a comma separated string is accepted.
/ENABLEUSER adds the named users to the group created for the host domain.
/DISABLEUSER removes the named user from the group created for the host domain.
/ENABLEPROXY adds the named users to the group created for the host domain proxy.
/DISABLEUSER removes the named user from the group created for the host domain proxy.
/INSERTCONN adds the named connections to the host domain. The connection must already exist.
/REMOVECONN removes the named connection from the host domain.
