Using The Access.cfg File In The Gateway Directory - Novell GROUPWISE 7 GATEWAY FOR MICROSOFT EXCHANGE - INSTALLATION AND ADMINISTRATION Installation And Administration Manual

8.4.1 Using the Access.cfg File in the Gateway Directory

The
access.cfg
located in the gateway root directory (for example, domain\wpgate\exchange). The
access.cfg file enables you to implement the following specific types of access control:
The initial access.cfg file includes descriptions and examples of the section headers and
keywords that you can use in the file. However, all lines are initially commented out and access
control is off by default. Print the initial access.cfg file in the domain\wpgate\exchange
directory. Reviewing the file can help you understand how it works.
Add the following line at the top of the file to turn on access control:
Access Control=On
After access control has been turned on, you can create sections in the access.cfg file for
various groups of users. Section headers are enclosed in square brackets ([header]). Within each
section, you use keywords to define the access control settings for the group to which the section
applies. The following section headers and keywords are available:
Section Headers
[Default:In|Out]
[groupwise_domain:In|Out]
[groupwise_domain.post_office:In|Out]
[AccessGroup:group_name]
Section headers, keywords, and settings are not case sensitive. The In and Out directions are from
the point of view of the GroupWise system. Semicolons (;), slashes (/), and pound signs (#) can be
used to comment out lines of text. In the examples provided in the access.cfg file, the string
gwaddresstext represents the address of an Exchange user. For example, you could replace
gwaddresstext with Novell.Sales.Glen if that is the appropriate address format, as explained in
Section 3.8, "Selecting User Address Type and Format," on page
