Deploying to two different servers, two different users/group

Hi,

I have a deployment that does Fan-out to two different servers, different filesystems as long as both of them have the same username and groupname. Currently, I use multiple nodeRef elements in the replicationFarm to define the nodes and targetRules element with area attr to specify each targetFileSystem.

The problem is: How do I specify the username/groupname that goes with each nodeRef so that it overrides PermissionRules' user/group attribute.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks,

Please try looking at the reference manual and/or DTD - when you find the definition of targetRules (which you are obviously using) - you should be able to easily figure out the rest of the resolution.

I looked at the ref manual, not much about overriding permissionRules. After playing around


<nodeRef useNode="$noderef">
  <targetRules area="$target_area"  >
  <permissionRules user="$user" group="$group"/>
<targetRules/>
</nodeRef>

This works.

Exactly - all the settings in targetRules override the default rules in the target element - I knew you'd find it if you looked.
