Example

In a Windows™ environment, the file:

\Program Files\Company Inc\Release.Notes 
can also be accessed through the following paths:
  1. \progra~1\compan~2\releas~3.not
  2. \Program Files\Company Inc.\Release.Notes
  3. \program files\company inc\release.notes

Example 1 illustrates how Windows can create an alias (for DOS compatibility) that contains no spaces in the file names and conforms to the 8.3 format. The –w option causes WebSEAL to reject this format for ACL checks.

Example 2 illustrates how Windows can include trailing extension dots. The –w option causes WebSEAL to reject this format for ACL checks.

Example 3 illustrates how Windows allows case-insensitivity on the file name. The –w option invokes the –i option to ensure a case-insensitive ACL check.
