object copy

Recursively copy the policy from one protected object space to another. The policy that is copied includes ACLs, POPs, authorization rules, and extended attributes.

Requires authentication (administrator ID and password) to use.

Both source and destination objects must exist under an object space.

The recursive copy occurs in the background and the command will immediately return. Only one copy operation occurs at a time. So extra copy operations are queued until the copy operation that preceded it is completed.

A message is logged in the policy server's log file when the copy operation starts and when it completes. The completion message also indicates whether the copy operation is a success or failure.
