Access control files
The following table provides the names and descriptions of the default WebSphere Commerce access control files (XML and DTD files). WebSphere Commerce loads these default files when you create the instance.
Files loaded by instance creation
File Name Description
- ACUserGroups_de_DE.xml
- ACUserGroups_en_US.xml
- ACUserGroups_es_ES.xml
- ACUserGroups_fr_FR.xml
- ACUserGroups_it_IT.xml
- ACUserGroups_ja_JP.xml
- ACUserGroups_ko_KR.xml
- ACUserGroups_pl_PL.xml
- ACUserGroups_pt_BR.xml
- ACUserGroups_ro_RO.xml
- ACUserGroups_ru_RU.xml
- ACUserGroups_zh_CN.xml
- ACUserGroups_zh_TW.xml
The user access group definitions and descriptions in each supported language. See Access group bootstrap file for more information.
ACUserGroups_en_US.dtd The access control user groups XML file must conform to this DTD. defaultAccessControlPolicies.xml The main file containing the definitions of default access control policies, action groups, resource groups, relationships, relationship groups, actions, resource categories, and attributes. See Language-independent access control policy bootstrap file for more information.
accesscontrolpolicies.dtd The access control policies XML file must conform to this DTD.
- defaultAccessControlPolicies_de_DE.xml
- defaultAccessControlPolicies_en_US.xml
- defaultAccessControlPolicies_es_ES.xml
- defaultAccessControlPolicies_fr_FR.xml
- defaultAccessControlPolicies_it_IT.xml
- defaultAccessControlPolicies_ja_JP.xml
- defaultAccessControlPolicies_ko_KR.xml
- defaultAccessControlPolicies_pl_PL.xml
- defaultAccessControlPolicies_pt_BR.xml
- defaultAccessControlPolicies_ro_RO.xml
- defaultAccessControlPolicies_ru_RU.xml
- defaultAccessControlPolicies_zh_CN.xml
- defaultAccessControlPolicies_zh_TW.xml
Files containing the display names and descriptions for default access control policies, action groups, actions, resource groups, resource categories, relationships, and attributes, in each supported language. See Language-dependent access control policy bootstrap file for more information.
accesscontrolpoliciesnls.dtd The access control policies NLS (national language specific) XML file (display names and descriptions only) must conform to this DTD.
Use these default files as reference when you create custom access control policies. When you create custom policies, load them using the WebSphere Commerce access control loading utilities:
- acugload utility - to load the user access group definitions.
- acpload utility - to loads access control policy definitions and other policy-related elements.
- acpnlsload utility - to load policy display names and descriptions.
Note: Do not modify these default files when you create custom access control policies; rather make any modifications to a copy of these files.
Sample access control filter files
The following table provides the names and descriptions of the sample access control filter files that are used when extracting access control policy information. Use these sample files to directly extract the access control data from the database using the acpextract utility, or you can use them as a reference for creating the own filter file.
ACPoliciesfilter.xml The filter file used in the extraction of all access control information from the database. OrganizationPoliciesFilter.xml The filter file used in the extraction of all the access control information related to policies owned by a specific organization. ACUserGroupsFilter.xml The filter file used in the extraction of all the access group information.
Files used by the XML transformer
The following table provides the names and descriptions of the default WebSphere Commerce access control files (XSL files for the XML Transformer). You do not normally need to modify the content of these files.
File Name Description accesscontrol.xsl The XSL transform rule file for the access control policies XML file. accesscontrolnls.xsl The XSL transform rule file for the access control policies NLS XML file (display names and descriptions only). ACUserGroup.xsl The XSL transform rule file for the access group XML files. wcstoacpolicies.xsl The XSL transform rule file for the ExtractedACPolicies.xml file after extract, to create the access control policies XML file. wcstoacpoliciesnls.xsl The XSL transform rule file for the ExtractedACPolicies.xml after extract, to create the access control policies NLS XML file. wcstoacusergroup.xsl XSL transform rule file for the ExtractedACPolicies.xml file after extract, to create the access group XML file
