Hi All..

We are starting to look at ACL manager and would like to know if anyone out there is using this or a similar product, or internally developed solution and what they think of the product / solution in use.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Rajesh...

Hope you can answers or comment on some of the items below:

- I can't seem to get to the first link

- Thanks, but I already have the tutorial CD. It was helpful, but I need a few question answered

- Are there any scalability issues ? ex. max number devices that can be pushed by ACLM and the response time for the change to occur ?

- Has any testing been done on a device under attack, and if so how successful was the test to get the ACL applied with ACLM

- Is there a way to make the product share global configuration changes to other user IDs other than in read only mode ? Can it be forced / customized to use global config only ?

- Does the tool have some 'smart capability' where it would pick up blatant ALC errors or remove redundant entries or warn a user of certain conditions? I thought that the optimizer tool did this and I can't seem to get the option 'un grayed' from the tools menu.

Thanks

John
