acl show

Lists the complete set of entries for a specific access control list (ACL) policy. Alternatively, lists the values of a specific extended attribute associated with an ACL policy.

Requires authentication (administrator ID and password) to use.

acl show acl_name [attribute attribute_name]

Options

acl_name

Name of the ACL policy for which the extended attribute values are displayed. The ACL policy must exist, or an error is displayed.

Examples of ACL names are default-root, test, default-management, and pubs_acl3.

attribute attribute_name

Name of the extended attribute whose values are displayed. (Optional) The system handles this command as follows:

• If the ACL either has an attribute or had an attribute in the past, no error is displayed.

• If the ACL never had an attribute, then an error is displayed.

Examples of extended attribute names are Dept_No and Employee_Name.
