Administering HCL VersionVault
Learn about performing administrative tasks for an HCL VersionVault community including managing software licenses, user and group accounts, VersionVault server and client hosts, shared data, and the network that connects them.
VOB and view access control
HCL VersionVault supports a rich set of access controls on versioned objects.
ACL authorization
If access control list (ACL) authorization is enabled, the identities and protection modes for some object types are administered through policies, which define permissions for roles; and rolemaps, which map the roles to principals.
The access failure log
You can review the access failure log to identify failed attempts to modify protected VOB objects.

The access failure log

You can review the access failure log to identify failed attempts to modify protected VOB objects.

When a user attempts to modify an HCL VersionVault VOB object and the attempt is blocked by an ACL, the VOB server host logs the access failure. On Linux or the UNIX system, the event is logged to /var/adm/hcl/versionvault/log/access_log. On Windows, it is logged to the application event viewer under the "Access" category. To access this log remotely, you must use an operating system facility (because the log contains sensitive information, it is not accessible through commands such as cleartool getlog):

Windows: you can use the event viewer applet to connect to a remote VOB server host and view the +Access+ category for the HCL VersionVault source in the Application log.
UNIX and Linux: you can securely copy remote files using scp(1).
