Creating an object space with pdadmin

You can create an object space with the pdadmin utility.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the domain as a domain administrator.
  2. Use the objectspace create command.

Results

Note: Do not use the objectspace command on object spaces that are created by or developed with Security Verify Access. The following object spaces are created by Security Verify Access:
  • /Management
  • /WebSEAL
  • /OSSEAL
For example, to create the /Test-Space object space that is an application container object, which is object type 14, enter the following command: 
pdadmin sec_master> objectspace create /Test-Space "New Object Space" 14

When creating an object space, an object type must be specified. This object space example assigns an object type of 14, which is for an application container object.

Protected object space describes the two general types of objects: resource objects and container objects. You can select any of the listed object space types. Alternatively, use any unused category number listed in the following list to designate the object space type and assign a meaning to it.
