sec_rgy_plcy_set_info(3sec)
Sets the policy for an organization
Synopsis
#include <dce/policy.h>
void sec_rgy_plcy_set_info(
sec_rgy_handle_t context,
sec_rgy_name_t
organization,
sec_rgy_plcy_t *policy_data,
error_status_t *status);
Parameters
Input
context
An opaque handle bound to a registry server. Use sec_rgy_site_open( ) to acquire a bound handle.
organization
A character string (type sec_rgy_name_t) containing the name of the organization for which the policy data is to be returned. If this string is empty, the
routine sets the registry's policy data.
policy_data
A pointer to the sec_rgy_plcy_t structure containing the authentication policy. This structure contains the minimum length of a user's password, the
lifetime of a password, the expiration date of a password, the lifetime of the entire account, and some flags describing limitations on the password spelling.
Output
status
A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, the routine returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error.
Description
The sec_rgy_plcy_set_info( ) routine sets the authentication policy for a specified organization. If no organization is specified, the registry's policy
data is set.
Policy data can be returned or set for individual organizations and for the registry as a whole.
Permissions Required
The sec_rgy_plcy_set_info( ) routine requires the m (mgmt_info) permission on the policy object or organization for which the
data is to be set.
Notes
The policy set on an account may be less restrictive than the policy set for the registry as a whole. In this case, the changes in policy have no effect, since the
effective policy is the most restrictive combination of the organization and registry authentication policies. (See the sec_rgy_auth_plcy_get_effective( )
routine.)
