You create a new Access Sub-Group (ASG) by selecting one system from the Access Control Group (ACG) to be the client, and some or all of the other systems to be servers to this client, thus defining the new client's ACG. When the HBAnyware Security Configurator is run on the new client, the displayed ACG shows the servers that were configured in the ASG by its parent client.
To create an ASG, do the following:
Start the HBAnyware Security Configurator.
Click the Access Sub-Groups tab.
Click New. The New Access Sub-Group dialog box is displayed.
Enter the ASG information:
Access Sub-Group Name: Enter the name of the ASG. The ASG name is for identification purposes only. It does not provide any security function. Provide a name that will make it easy to remember the systems that are part of the ASG.
The name can contain any alphanumeric characters, symbols or spaces (up to 31). At each level of the security topology, each ASG name must be unique. If the name is not unique at its level, an error message informs you of this when you press OK.
Access Sub-Group Client System: Select the system that is to be the client.
Number of indices reserved for this Access Sub-Group: Select the number of 'indices' you want to reserve for the client system of the new ASG. This number reflects the number of subsequent 'child' ASGs that can subsequently be created on the new client's system. See the Reserved Indices topic (under Access Sub-Groups in this manual) for examples.
Click OK in the New Access Sub-Group dialog box. The ASG is created.
