NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       DL_ChangeDbAcl,  CSSM_DL_ChangeDbAcl  -  Edit  stored  ACL
       (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       # include <cdsa/cssm.h>

       API:     CSSM_RETURN      CSSMAPI      CSSM_DL_ChangeDbAcl
       (CSSM_DL_DB_HANDLE  DLDBHandle,  const CSSM_ACCESS_CREDENTIALS
  *AccessCred,  const  CSSM_ACL_EDIT  *AclEdit)  SPI:
       CSSM_RETURN   CSSMDLI   DL_ChangeDbAcl  (CSSM_DL_DB_HANDLE
       DLDBHandle,  const  CSSM_ACCESS_CREDENTIALS   *AccessCred,
       const CSSM_ACL_EDIT *AclEdit)

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       Common Security Services Manager library (libcssm.so)

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  handle  pair  that describes the data storage library
       module to be used to perform this function, and  the  open
       data store whose associated ACL entries are to be updated.
       A pointer to the set of one or more  credentials  used  to
       authenticate  and  validate  the caller's authorization to
       modify the ACL  associated  with  the  target  data  base.
       Required  credentials  can  include  zero or more certificates,
 zero or more caller names, and one or more samples.
       If  certificates and/or caller names are provided as input
       these must be provided as immediate values in this  structure.
  The  samples can be provided as immediate values or
       can be obtained through a callback  function  included  in
       the AccessCred structure.  A structure containing information
 that defines the edit  operation.   Valid  operations
       include  adding, replacing and deleting entries in the set
       of ACL  entries  managed  by  the  service  provider.  The
       AclEdit  can contain information for a new ACL entry and a
       unique handle  identifying  an  existing  ACL  entry.  The
       information controls the edit operation as follows:

              ----------------------------------------------------------------
              Value of AclEdit.EditMode    Use    of   AclEdit.NewEntry   and
                                           AclEdit.OldEntryHandle
              ----------------------------------------------------------------
              CSSM_ACL_EDIT_MODE_ADD       Adds a new ACL entry to the set of
                                           ACL  entries  associated  with the
                                           specified data base. The  new  ACL
                                           entry  is  created from the prototype
 ACL entry contained in NewEntry.
   OldEntryHandle  is  ignored
                                           for this EditMode.
              CSSM_ACL_EDIT_MODE_DELETE    Deletes the ACL  entry  identified
                                           by  OldEntryHandle  and associated
                                           with  the  specified  data   base.
                                           NewEntry is ignored for this EditMode.








              CSSM_ACL_EDIT_MODE_REPLACE   Replaces the ACL entry  identified
                                           by  OldEntryHandle  and associated
                                           with the specified data base.  The
                                           existing  ACL is replaced based on
                                           the ACL entry prototype  contained
                                           in NewEntry.
              ----------------------------------------------------------------

              When  replacing  an  existing ACL entry, the caller
              must replace all of the items in an ACL entry.  The
              replacement  prototype includes: A CSSM_LIST structure
 containing a typed Subject. The Subject  identifies
  the entity authorized by this ACL entry.  A
              CSSM_BOOL value indicating whether the subject  can
              delegate the permissions recorded in the authorization
 array.   A  CSSM_AUTHORIZATIONGROUP  structure
              defining the set of operations for which permission
              is  granted  to  the  Subject.   A  CSSM_ACL_VALIDITY_PERIOD
  structure  containing two elements, the
              start time and the stop  time  for  which  the  ACL
              entry  is  valid.  A CSSM_STRING containing a userdefined
 value associated with the ACL entry.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       This function edits the stored  ACL  associated  with  the
       target  data  base  identified by DLDBHandle.DBHandle. The
       ACL is modified according to the edit mode and information
       provided in AclEdit.

       The  caller  must  be authorized to modify the target ACL.
       Caller authentication and authorization to edit the ACL is
       determined based on the caller-provided AccessCred.

       The  caller  must  be authorized to add, delete or replace
       the ACL entries associated with the target data base. When
       adding  or  replacing  an  ACL entry, the service provider
       must reject the creation of duplicate ACL entries.

       When adding a new ACL entry to an  ACL,  the  caller  must
       provide  a  complete  ACL  entry  prototype. All ACL entry
       items, except the ACL entry TypedSubject must be  provided
       as  an immediate value in AclEdit->NewEntry. The ACL entry
       Subject can be provided as an immediate value, from a verifier
 with a protected data path, from an external authentication
 or authorization service, or through  a  callback
       function specified in AclEdit->NewEntry->Callback.

RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]

       A  CSSM_RETURN  value  indicating  success or specifying a
       particular error condition. The  value  CSSM_OK  indicates
       success. All other values represent an error condition.

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Errors  are described in the CDSA technical standard.  See
