Viewing All Rules That Apply to an Object

Because access rules can be applied to different object classes in an NDS or eDirectory tree, more than one rule can affect a single object. The effective rules of an object are all access rules, in order of execution, from the Server object up to the root of the NDS or eDirectory tree.

To view the effective rules of an object:

  1. From an administrator workstation, log in to the NDS or eDirectory tree where the Novell BorderManager 3.7 server is located and start the NetWare Administrator utility.

    2.

  2. Locate the source object for which you want to view access rules in the NDS or eDirectory tree > right-click the object > select Details.

    The object must be a Server, Organization, Organizational Unit, or Country.

    3.

  3. Select the Novell BorderManager 3.7 Access Rules page.

    4.

  4. Click Effective Rules.

    A new window displays all access rules in the order they are applied.

    NOTE:  New access rules will not be displayed in the effective rules list until the server is updated (Refresh Server) because they are not yet saved in NDS or eDirectory.
