Controlling Access to PowerExchange CDC Publisher Files
Controlling Access to PowerExchange CDC Publisher Files
PowerExchange CDC Publisher relies on file system security to control access to files and scripts. You are responsible for configuring this type of security on your operating system.
To protect against unauthorized use of any PowerExchange CDC Publisher script in the
pwxcdcpub_root_installation
\bin
subdirectory, configure file-system privileges to control who has access to these scripts. For example, to provide userA with permission to run the PwxCDCInfo script but
not
run the PwxCDCAdmin or PwxCDCPublisher script, you could use the following strategy:
Grant read-only access to all files in the PowerExchange CDC Publisher installation to userA, except the script files in the bin subdirectory.
Copy the PwxCDCInfo script to another directory and grant execute permissions on that instance of the script to userA .
Set the PWXPUB_HOME environment variable for userA to point to the PowerExchange CDC Publisher root installation directory.
This environment variable setting is required to run PowerExchange CDC Publisher scripts from a location other than the
pwxcdcpub_root_installation
\bin
subdirectory.
