dslpaccess Command

Purpose

Allow or deny non-directory enabled users and systems access to a print queue for a System V print subsystem.

Syntax

dslpaccess -q QueueName -a AllowList | -d DenyList

Description

The dslpaccess command either allows or denies users and systems access to a directory-enabled print queue. It is modeled on the lpadmin command's -u option.

Allow and deny lists consist of a comma-separated list of entries, each of which may specify a login ID, or a system name and login ID, as follows: 
[[LoginID]|[System!LoginID]],[[LoginID]|[System!Login-ID]],...
LoginID or System, or both, can be set to the wildcard all, allowing or denying all appropriate entries. Use all with care. When the all entry is added to one list, all non-all entries are removed from the other list, for the appropriate value of LoginID or System. The default for System is the local host.

The user of this command must be directory-enabled and have permissions set for write, modify, search and read on the directory, in the directory context in which they are administrator.

Flags

Item Description
-a AllowList Specifies a list of users to add to the allow list. If present, these are deleted from the deny list. This option can not be used with the -d option.
-d DenyList Specifies a list of users to add to the deny list. If present, these are deleted from the allow list. This option can not be used with the -a option.
-q QueueName The queue-name parameter is the Relative Distinguished Name (RDN) of the print queue. If the print queue name does not exist in the directory context, the command fails.
