HCL VersionVault and Windows domains
Conversion to Active Directory
As with any enterprise-scale application in a Windows network, HCL VersionVault is affected when the network is converted from Windows NT domains to Active Directory domains. These topics explain how this conversion affects HCL VersionVault and how to manage users, groups, hosts, and data during and after the conversion.
Using vob_sidwalk to change or update VOB users and groups
The vob_sidwalk command provides a flexible means of reassigning ownership of objects in a VOB, updating the SIDS that represent the groups in a VOB’s group list, and correcting VOB storage directory protections.
Remapping current SIDs when moving a VOB to a new domain

Remapping current SIDs when moving a VOB to a new domain

About this task

When you move a VOB to another domain, you must use vob_sidwalk to retrieve and store (in the VOB database) the new SIDs for all security principals who own objects in the VOB. The procedure is essentially the same whether you are moving the VOB to a host in another domain or moving a VOB server host to another domain and leaving the VOB on the host. Moving a VOB to a different domain describes the procedure for remapping SIDs as part of a VOB move.
