Defining User Access to the Gateway

The access control feature lets you control inbound and outbound messages through the Async
Gateway. You can specify which GroupWise users can send messages through the gateway. You
can also specify which GroupWise users can receive messages through the gateway and from
which addresses. You can control the size of messages allowed through the gateway and also
control rule-generated messages.
Access control can be implemented on a minimal user-by-user basis through the Gateway Access
field on the User Information page of each User object in ConsoleOne. To fully implement access
control, you must use the configuration file called access.cfg.

Using the Access Control File (access.cfg)

The access.cfg file is an ASCII text file you can edit with a standard text editor. It is located in the
gateway home directory.
Click Add to display the Select GroupWise Object dialog box.
All users in your GroupWise system are listed alphabetically by their user IDs. You can select
Distribution Lists to list distribution lists instead of users.
Use the Filter fields above the list to restrict the length of the list.
Double-click a user that you want to add to the list of gateway administrators.
The user's context is displayed in the Gateway Administrators list.
Select the user, then select one of the two administrator roles that can be used with the Async
Gateway. The two administrator roles are:
Operator: A gateway administrator type that enables the gateway program to send a
messages notifying the designated GroupWise user (that is, the gateway's operator) when
certain errors occur.
Accountant: A gateway administrator feature that enables the gateway to keep
accounting records for every message it sends. Each day, the record is sent to the user
designated as the gateway's accountant. Multiple users can be designated as gateway
accountants. For more information, see
Click Apply.
To add more administrators, repeat
When your administrator list is complete, click OK.
