3.1.1.1.11 Partitions and Users

  • Article

If the target ORB has facilities that require users to be associated with partitions, for example, to assign each user a default partition, the following SHOULD be used to configure this facility:

  • The PartitionUsers (as specified in section 3.1.1.3.16), PartitionRoles (as specified in section 3.1.1.3.17), and PartitionRoleMembers tables (as specified in section 3.1.1.3.18).

In addition, if the target ORB has the ability to associate users with partitions that are based on either local configuration or configuration that is managed by an active directory, the following SHOULD be used to configure this facility:

  • The LocalPartitionLookupEnabled and DSPartitionLookupEnabled properties of the MachineSettings table, as specified in section 3.1.1.3.8.

An ORB that uses an active directory in this manner might keep a local cache of user-partition associations. These associations are not exposed in the COMA catalog, but the method ICatalogUtils2::FlushPartitionCache, as specified in section 3.1.4.18.7, enables clients to flush a server's cache in case this information is stale.
