1. Introduction
-
The Architecture for describing Internet Management Frameworks [RFC2271] describes that an SNMP engine is composed of:
-
1) a Dispatcher
2) a Message Processing Subsystem,
3) a Security Subsystem, and
4) an Access Control Subsystem.
Applications make use of the services of these subsystems.
It is important to understand the SNMP architecture and its terminology to understand where the View-based Access Control Model described in this document fits into the architecture and interacts with other subsystems within the architecture. The reader is expected to have read and understood the description and terminology of the SNMP architecture, as defined in [RFC2271].
The Access Control Subsystem of an SNMP engine has the responsibility for checking whether a specific type of access (read, write, notify) to a particular object (instance) is allowed.
It is the purpose of this document to define a specific model of the Access Control Subsystem, designated the View-based Access Control Model. Note that this is not necessarily the only Access Control Model.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

1.2. Access Control
-
Access Control occurs (either implicitly or explicitly) in an SNMP entity when processing SNMP retrieval or modification request messages from an SNMP entity. For example a Command Responder application applies Access Control when processing requests that it received from a Command Generator application. These requests include these types of operations: GetRequest, GetNextRequest, GetBulkRequest, and SetRequest operations.
Access Control also occurs in an SNMP entity when an SNMP notification message is generated (by a Notification Originator application). These notification messages include these types of operations: InformRequest and SNMPv2-Trap operations.
The View-based Access Control Model defines a set of services that an application (such as a Command Responder or a Notification Originator application) can use for checking access rights. It is the responsibility of the application to make the proper service calls for access checking.
1.3. Local Configuration Datastore
-
To implement the model described in this document, an SNMP entity needs to retain information about access rights and policies. This information is part of the SNMP engine's Local Configuration Datastore (LCD). See [RFC2271] for the definition of LCD.
In order to allow an SNMP entity's LCD to be remotely configured, portions of the LCD need to be accessible as managed objects. A MIB module, the View-based Access Control Model Configuration MIB, which defines these managed object types is included in this document.
2. Elements of the Model
-
This section contains definitions to realize the access control service provided by the View-based Access Control Model.
2.1. Groups
-
A group is a set of zero or more <securityModel, securityName> tuples on whose behalf SNMP management objects can be accessed. A group defines the access rights afforded to all securityNames which belong to that group. The combination of a securityModel and a securityName maps to at most one group. A group is identified by a groupName.
The Access Control module assumes that the securityName has already been authenticated as needed and provides no further authentication of its own.
The View-based Access Control Model uses the securityModel and the securityName as inputs to the Access Control module when called to check for access rights. It determines the groupName as a function of securityModel and securityName.
2.2. securityLevel
-
Different access rights for members of a group can be defined for different levels of security, i.e., noAuthNoPriv, authNoPriv, and authPriv. The securityLevel identifies the level of security that will be assumed when checking for access rights. See the SNMP Architecture document [RFC2271] for a definition of securityLevel.
The View-based Access Control Model requires that the securityLevel is passed as input to the Access Control module when called to check for access rights.
2.3. Contexts
-
An SNMP context is a collection of management information accessible by an SNMP entity. An item of management information may exist in more than one context. An SNMP entity potentially has access to many contexts. Details about the naming of management information can be found in the SNMP Architecture document [RFC2271].
The View-based Access Control Model defines a vacmContextTable that lists the locally available contexts by contextName.
2.4. MIB Views and View Families
-
For security reasons, it is often valuable to be able to restrict the access rights of some groups to only a subset of the management information in the management domain. To provide this capability, access to a context is via a "MIB view" which details a specific set of managed object types (and optionally, the specific instances of object types) within that context. For example, for a given context, there will typically always be one MIB view which provides access to all management information in that context, and often there will be other MIB views each of which contains some subset of the information. So, the access allowed for a group can be restricted in the desired manner by specifying its rights in terms of the particular (subset) MIB view it can access within each appropriate context.
Since managed object types (and their instances) are identified via the tree-like naming structure of ISO's OBJECT IDENTIFIERs [ISO-
ASN.1, RFC1902], it is convenient to define a MIB view as the combination of a set of "view subtrees", where each view subtree is a subtree within the managed object naming tree. Thus, a simple MIB view (e.g., all managed objects within the Internet Network Management Framework) can be defined as a single view subtree, while more complicated MIB views (e.g., all information relevant to a particular network interface) can be represented by the union of multiple view subtrees.
While any set of managed objects can be described by the union of some number of view subtrees, situations can arise that would require a very large number of view subtrees. This could happen, for example, when specifying all columns in one conceptual row of a MIB table because they would appear in separate subtrees, one per column, each with a very similar format. Because the formats are similar, the required set of subtrees can easily be aggregated into one structure. This structure is named a family of view subtrees after the set of subtrees that it conceptually represents. A family of view subtrees can either be included or excluded from a MIB view.
2.4.1. View Subtree
-
A view subtree is the set of all MIB object instances which have a common ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER prefix to their names. A view subtree is identified by the OBJECT IDENTIFIER value which is the longest OBJECT IDENTIFIER prefix common to all (potential) MIB object instances in that subtree.
2.4.2. ViewTreeFamily
-
A family of view subtrees is a pairing of an OBJECT IDENTIFIER value (called the family name) together with a bit string value (called the family mask). The family mask indicates which sub-identifiers of the associated family name are significant to the family's definition.
For each possible managed object instance, that instance belongs to a particular ViewTreeFamily if both of the following conditions are true:
- the OBJECT IDENTIFIER name of the managed object instance contains at least as many sub-identifiers as does the family name, and
- each sub-identifier in the OBJECT IDENTIFIER name of the managed object instance matches the corresponding sub-identifier of the family name whenever the corresponding bit of the associated family mask is non-zero.
When the configured value of the family mask is all ones, the view subtree family is identical to the single view subtree identified by the family name.
When the configured value of the family mask is shorter than required to perform the above test, its value is implicitly extended with ones. Consequently, a view subtree family having a family mask of zero length always corresponds to a single view subtree.
2.5. Access Policy
-
The View-based Access Control Model determines the access rights of a group, representing zero or more securityNames which have the same access rights. For a particular context, identified by contextName, to which a group, identified by groupName, has access using a particular securityModel and securityLevel, that group's access rights are given by a read-view, a write-view and a notify-view.
The read-view represents the set of object instances authorized for the group when reading objects. Reading objects occurs when processing a retrieval (for example a GetRequest, GetNextRequest, GetBulkRequest) operation.
The write-view represents the set of object instances authorized for the group when writing objects. Writing objects occurs when processing a write (for example a Set) operation.
The notify-view represents the set of object instances authorized for the group when sending objects in a notification, such as when sending a notification (for example an Inform or SNMPv2-Trap).
3. Elements of Procedure
-
This section describes the procedures followed by an Access Control module that implements the View-based Access Control Model when checking access rights as requested by an application (for example a Command Responder or a Notification Originator application). The abstract service primitive is:
statusInformation = -- success or errorIndication isAccessAllowed( securityModel -- Security Model in use securityName -- principal who wants access securityLevel -- Level of Security viewType -- read, write, or notify view contextName -- context containing variableName variableName -- OID for the managed object )The abstract data elements are:
statusInformation - one of the following: accessAllowed - a MIB view was found and access is granted. notInView - a MIB view was found but access is denied. The variableName is not in the configured MIB view for the specified viewType (e.g., in the relevant entry in the vacmAccessTable). noSuchView - no MIB view found because no view has been configured for specified viewType (e.g., in the relevant entry in the vacmAccessTable). noSuchContext - no MIB view found because of no entry in the vacmContextTable for specified contextName. noGroupName - no MIB view found because no entry has been configured in the vacmSecurityToGroupTable for the specified combination of securityModel and securityName. noAccessEntry - no MIB view found because no entry has been configured in the vacmAccessTable for the specified combination of contextName, groupName (from vacmSecurityToGroupTable), securityModel and securityLevel. otherError - failure, an undefined error occurred. securityModel - Security Model under which access is requested. securityName - the principal on whose behalf access is requested. securityLevel - Level of Security under which access is requested. viewType - view to be checked (read, write or notify). contextName - context in which access is requested. variableName - object instance to which access is requested.
3.1. Overview of isAccessAllowed Process
-
The following picture shows how the decision for access control is made by the View-based Access Control Model.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | +-> securityModel -+ | | | (a) | | | who -+ +-> groupName ----+ | | (1) | | (x) | | | +-> securityName --+ | | | (b) | | | | | | where -> contextName ---------------------+ | | (2) (e) | | | | | | | | | +-> securityModel -------------------+ | | | (a) | | | how -+ +-> viewName -+ | | (3) | | (y) | | | +-> securityLevel -------------------+ | | | (c) | +-> yes/no | | | | decision | | why ---> viewType (read/write/notify) ----+ | (z) | | (4) (d) | | | | | | what --> object-type ------+ | | | (5) (m) | | | | +-> variableName (OID) ------+ | | | (f) | | which -> object-instance --+ | | (6) (n) | | | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
How the decision for isAccessAllowed is made.
- Inputs to the isAccessAllowed service are:
-
(a) securityModel -- Security Model in use (b) securityName -- principal who wants to access (c) securityLevel -- Level of Security (d) viewType -- read, write, or notify view (e) contextName -- context containing variableName (f) variableName -- OID for the managed object -- this is made up of: - object-type (m) - object-instance (n)
- The partial "who" (1), represented by the securityModel (a) and the securityName (b), are used as the indices (a,b) into the vacmSecurityToGroupTable to find a single entry that produces a group, represented by groupName (x).
- The "where" (2), represented by the contextName (e), the "who", represented by the groupName (x) from the previous step, and the "how" (3), represented by securityModel (a) and securityLevel (c), are used as indices (e,x,a,c) into the vacmAccessTable to find a single entry that contains three MIB views.
- The "why" (4), represented by the viewType (d), is used to select the proper MIB view, represented by a viewName (y), from the vacmAccessEntry selected in the previous step. This viewName (y) is an index into the vacmViewTreeFamilyTable and selects the set of entries that define the variableNames which are included in or excluded from the MIB view identified by the viewName (y).
- The "what" (5) type of management data and "which" (6) particular instance, represented by the variableName (f), is then checked to be in the MIB view or not, e.g., the yes/no decision (z).
3.2. Processing the isAccessAllowed Service Request
-
This section describes the procedure followed by an Access Control module that implements the View-based Access Control Model whenever it receives an isAccessAllowed request.
- The vacmContextTable is consulted for information about the SNMP context identified by the contextName. If information about this SNMP context is absent from the table, then an errorIndication (noSuchContext) is returned to the calling module.
- The vacmSecurityToGroupTable is consulted for mapping the securityModel and securityName to a groupName. If the information about this combination is absent from the table, then an errorIndication (noGroupName) is returned to the calling module.
- The vacmAccessTable is consulted for information about the groupName, contextName, securityModel and securityLevel. If information about this combination is absent from the table, then an errorIndication (noAccessEntry) is returned to the calling module.
4) a) If the viewType is "read", then the read view is used for
-
-
checking access rights.
b) If the viewType is "write", then the write view is used for
-
checking access rights.
c) If the viewType is "notify", then the notify view is used
-
for checking access rights.
If the view to be used is the empty view (zero length viewName) then an errorIndication (noSuchView) is returned to the calling module.
-
5) a) If there is no view configured for the specified viewType,
-
-
then an errorIndication (noSuchView) is returned to the calling module.
b) If the specified variableName (object instance) is not in the
-
MIB view (see DESCRIPTION clause for vacmViewTreeFamilyTable in section 4), then an errorIndication (notInView) is returned to the calling module.
Otherwise,
c) The specified variableName is in the MIB view.
-
A statusInformation of success (accessAllowed) is returned to the calling module.

This table provides information to SNMP Command Generator applications so that they can properly configure the vacmAccessTable to control access to all contexts at the SNMP entity.
This table may change dynamically if the SNMP entity allows that contexts are added/deleted dynamically (for instance when its configuration changes). Such changes would happen only if the management instrumentation at that SNMP entity recognizes more (or fewer) contexts.
The presence of entries in this table and of entries in the vacmAccessTable are independent. That is, a context identified by an entry in this table is not necessarily referenced by any entries in the vacmAccessTable; and the context(s) referenced by an entry in the vacmAccessTable does not necessarily currently exist and thus need not be identified by an entry in this table.
This table must be made accessible via the default context so that Command Responder applications have a standard way of retrieving the information.

Each entry is indexed by a contextPrefix, a groupName a securityModel and a securityLevel. To determine whether access is allowed, one entry from this table needs to be selected and the proper viewName from that entry must be used for access control checking.
To select the proper entry, follow these steps:
- the set of possible matches is formed by the intersection of the following sets of entries: the set of entries with identical vacmGroupName the union of these two sets: - the set with identical vacmAccessContextPrefix - the set of entries with vacmAccessContextMatch value of 'prefix' and matching vacmAccessContextPrefix intersected with the union of these two sets: - the set of entries with identical vacmSecurityModel - the set of entries with vacmSecurityModel value of 'any' intersected with the set of entries with vacmAccessSecurityLevel value less than or equal to the requested securityLevel
- if this set has only one member, we're done otherwise, it comes down to deciding how to weight the preferences between ContextPrefixes,

-
SecurityModels, and SecurityLevels as follows:
a) if the subset of entries with identical
securityModels is not empty, discard the rest.
b) if the subset of entries with identical

discard the rest
c) discard all entries with ContextPrefixes shorter
than the longest one remaining in the set
d) select the entry with the highest securityLevel
Please note that for securityLevel noAuthNoPriv, all
groups are really equivalent since the assumption that
the securityName has been authenticated does not hold.

vacmViewTreeFamilyTable OBJECT-TYPE
-
SYNTAX SEQUENCE OF VacmViewTreeFamilyEntry MAX-ACCESS not-accessible STATUS current DESCRIPTION "Locally held information about families of subtrees within MIB views. Each MIB view is defined by two sets of view subtrees: - the included view subtrees, and - the excluded view subtrees. Every such view subtree, both the included and the excluded ones, is defined in this table.-
-
-
-
To determine if a particular object instance is in a particular MIB view, compare the object instance's OBJECT IDENTIFIER with each of the MIB view's active entries in this table. If none match, then the object instance is not in the MIB view. If one or more match, then the object instance is included in, or excluded from, the MIB view according to the value of vacmViewTreeFamilyType in the entry whose value of vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree has the most sub-identifiers. If multiple entries match and have the same number of sub-identifiers, then the lexicographically greatest instance of vacmViewTreeFamilyType determines the inclusion or exclusion.
An object instance's OBJECT IDENTIFIER X matches an active entry in this table when the number of sub-identifiers in X is at least as many as in the value of vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree for the entry, and each sub-identifier in the value of vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree matches its corresponding sub-identifier in X. Two sub-identifiers match either if the corresponding bit of the value of vacmViewTreeFamilyMask for the entry is zero (the 'wild card' value), or if they are equal.
A 'family' of subtrees is the set of subtrees defined by a particular combination of values of vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree and vacmViewTreeFamilyMask. In the case where no 'wild card' is defined in the vacmViewTreeFamilyMask, the family of subtrees reduces to a single subtree.
When creating or changing MIB views, an SNMP Command Generator application should utilize the vacmViewSpinLock to try to avoid collisions. See DESCRIPTION clause of vacmViewSpinLock.
When creating MIB views, it is strongly advised that first the 'excluded' vacmViewTreeFamilyEntries are created and then the 'included' entries.
When deleting MIB views, it is strongly advised that first the 'included' vacmViewTreeFamilyEntries are deleted and then the 'excluded' entries.

-
-
-
Each bit of this bit mask corresponds to a sub-identifier of vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree, with the most significant bit of the i-th octet of this octet string value (extended if necessary, see below) corresponding to the (8*i - 7)-th sub-identifier, and the least significant bit of the i-th octet of this octet string corresponding to the (8*i)-th sub-identifier, where i is in the range 1 through 16.
Each bit of this bit mask specifies whether or not the corresponding sub-identifiers must match when determining if an OBJECT IDENTIFIER is in this family of view subtrees; a '1' indicates that an exact match must occur; a '0' indicates 'wild card', i.e., any sub-identifier value matches.
Thus, the OBJECT IDENTIFIER X of an object instance is contained in a family of view subtrees if, for each sub-identifier of the value of vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree, either:
the i-th bit of vacmViewTreeFamilyMask is 0, or
the i-th sub-identifier of X is equal to the i-th sub-identifier of the value of vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree.
If the value of this bit mask is M bits long and there are more than M sub-identifiers in the corresponding instance of vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree, then the bit mask is extended with 1's to be the required length.
Note that when the value of this object is the zero-length string, this extension rule results in a mask of all-1's being used (i.e., no 'wild card'), and the family of view subtrees is the one view subtree uniquely identified by the corresponding instance of vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree.

7. Security Considerations
7.1. Recommended Practices
-
This document is meant for use in the SNMP architecture. The View- based Access Control Model described in this document checks access rights to management information based on:
- contextName, representing a set of management information at the managed system where the Access Control module is running. - groupName, representing a set of zero or more securityNames. The combination of a securityModel and a securityName is mapped into a group in the View-based Access Control Model. - securityModel under which access is requested. - securityLevel under which access is requested. - operation performed on the management information. - MIB views for read, write or notify access.When the User-based Access Control module is called for checking access rights, it is assumed that the calling module has ensured the authentication and privacy aspects as specified by the securityLevel that is being passed.
When creating entries in or deleting entries from the vacmViewFamiliyTreeTable it is important to do such in the sequence as recommended in the DESCRIPTION clause of the vacmViewFamilityTable definition. Otherwise unwanted access may be granted while changing the entries in the table.
7.2. Defining Groups
-
The groupNames are used to give access to a group of zero or more securityNames. Within the View-Based Access Control Model, a groupName is considered to exist if that groupName is listed in the vacmSecurityToGroupTable.
By mapping the combination of a securityModel and securityName into a groupName, an SNMP Command Generator application can add/delete securityNames to/from a group, if proper access is allowed.
Further it is important to realize that the grouping of <securityModel, securityName> tuples in the vacmSecurityToGroupTable does not take securityLevel into account. It is therefore important that the security administrator uses the securityLevel index in the vacmAccessTable to separate noAuthNoPriv from authPriv and/or authNoPriv access.
7.3. Conformance
-
For an implementation of the View-based Access Control Model to be conformant, it MUST implement the SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB. It also SHOULD implement the initial configuration, described in appendix A.

APPENDIX A - Installation
A.1. Installation Parameters
-
During installation, an authoritative SNMP engine which supports this View-based Access Control Model SHOULD be configured with several initial parameters. These include for the View-based Access Control Model:
1) A security configuration
-
The choice of security configuration determines if initial configuration is implemented and if so how. One of three possible choices is selected:
- initial-minimum-security-configuration - initial-semi-security-configuration - initial-no-access-configurationIn the case of a initial-no-access-configuration, there is no initial configuration, and so the following steps are irrelevant.
2) A default context
-
One entry in the vacmContextTable with a contextName of "" (the empty string), representing the default context. Note that this table gets created automatically if a default context exists.
no privacy support privacy support ------------------ --------------- vacmContextName "" ""
3) An initial group
-
One entry in the vacmSecurityToGroupTable to allow access to group "initial".
no privacy support privacy support ------------------ --------------- vacmSecurityModel 3 (USM) 3 (USM) vacmSecurityName "initial" "initial" vacmGroupName "initial" "initial" vacmSecurityToGroupStorageType anyValidStorageType anyValidStorageType vacmSecurityToGroupStatus active active
4) Initial access rights
-
Three entries in the vacmAccessTable as follows:
- read-notify access for securityModel USM, securityLevel "noAuthNoPriv" on behalf of securityNames that belong to the group "initial" to the <restricted> MIB view in the default context with contextName "". - read-write-notify access for securityModel USM, securityLevel "authNoPriv" on behalf of securityNames that belong to the group "initial" to the <internet> MIB view in the default context with contextName "".- if privacy is supported, read-write-notify access for securityModel USM, securityLevel "authPriv" on behalf of securityNames that belong to the group "initial" to the <internet> MIB view in the default context with contextName "".
That translates into the following entries in the vacmAccessTable. Those columns marked with (index) are index-only objects and are not really present in this table.
- One entry to be used for unauthenticated access (noAuthNoPriv):
no privacy support privacy support ------------------ --------------- vacmAccessContextPrefix "" "" vacmGroupName (index) "initial" "initial" vacmSecurityModel (index) 3 (USM) 3 (USM) vacmAccessSecurityLevel noAuthNoPriv noAuthNoPriv vacmAccessReadViewName "restricted" "restricted" vacmAccessWriteViewName "" "" vacmAccessNotifyViewName "restricted" "restricted" vacmAccessStorageType anyValidStorageType anyValidStorageType vacmAccessStatus active active- One entry to be used for authenticated access but without
privacy (authNoPriv): no privacy support privacy support ------------------ --------------- vacmAccessContextPrefix "" "" vacmGroupName (index) "initial" "initial" vacmSecurityModel (index) 3 (USM) 3 (USM) vacmAccessSecurityLevel authNoPriv authNoPriv vacmAccessReadViewName "internet" "internet" vacmAccessWriteViewName "internet" "internet" vacmAccessNotifyViewName "internet" "internet" vacmAccessStorageType anyValidStorageType anyValidStorageType vacmAccessStatus active active- One entry to be used for authenticated access with privacy (authPriv):
no privacy support privacy support ------------------ --------------- vacmAccessContextPrefix "" vacmGroupName (index) "initial" vacmSecurityModel (index) 3 (USM) vacmAccessSecurityLevel authPriv vacmAccessReadViewName "internet" vacmAccessWriteViewName "internet" vacmAccessNotifyViewName "internet" vacmAccessStorageType anyValidStorageType vacmAccessStatus active
5) Two MIB views, of which the second one depends on the security
configuration.
-
- One view, the <internet> view, for authenticated access:
-
- the <internet> MIB view is the following subtree:
"internet" (subtree 1.3.6.1)
- A second view, the <restricted> view, for unauthenticated access. This view is configured according to the selected security configuration:
- For the initial-no-access-configuration there is no default initial configuration, so no MIB views are pre-scribed.-
- For the initial-semi-secure-configuration:
the <restricted> MIB view is the union of these subtrees: (a) "system" (subtree 1.3.6.1.2.1.1) [RFC1907] (b) "snmp" (subtree 1.3.6.1.2.1.11) [RFC1907] (c) "snmpEngine" (subtree 1.3.6.1.6.3.7.2.1) [RFC2271] (d) "snmpMPDStats" (subtree 1.3.6.1.6.3.8.2.1) [RFC2272] (e) "usmStats" (subtree 1.3.6.1.6.3.9.2.1) [RFC2274]-
- For the initial-minimum-secure-configuration:
-
the <restricted> MIB view is the following subtree.
"internet" (subtree 1.3.6.1)
This translates into the following "internet" entry in the vacmViewTreeFamilyTable:
minimum-secure semi-secure ---------------- --------------- vacmViewTreeFamilyViewName "internet" "internet" vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree 1.3.6.1 1.3.6.1 vacmViewTreeFamilyMask "" "" vacmViewTreeFamilyType 1 (included) 1 (included) vacmViewTreeFamilyStorageType anyValidStorageType anyValidStorageType vacmViewTreeFamilyStatus active activeIn addition it translates into the following "restricted" entries in the vacmViewTreeFamilyTable:
minimum-secure semi-secure ---------------- --------------- vacmViewTreeFamilyViewName "restricted" "restricted" vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree 1.3.6.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.1 vacmViewTreeFamilyMask "" "" vacmViewTreeFamilyType 1 (included) 1 (included) vacmViewTreeFamilyStorageType anyValidStorageType anyValidStorageType vacmViewTreeFamilyStatus active active vacmViewTreeFamilyViewName "restricted" vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree 1.3.6.1.2.1.11 vacmViewTreeFamilyMask "" vacmViewTreeFamilyType 1 (included) vacmViewTreeFamilyStorageType anyValidStorageType vacmViewTreeFamilyStatus active vacmViewTreeFamilyViewName "restricted" vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree 1.3.6.1.6.3.7.2.1 vacmViewTreeFamilyMask "" vacmViewTreeFamilyType 1 (included) vacmViewTreeFamilyStorageType anyValidStorageType vacmViewTreeFamilyStatus active vacmViewTreeFamilyViewName "restricted" vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree 1.3.6.1.6.3.8.2.1 vacmViewTreeFamilyMask "" vacmViewTreeFamilyType 1 (included) vacmViewTreeFamilyStorageType anyValidStorageType vacmViewTreeFamilyStatus active vacmViewTreeFamilyViewName "restricted" vacmViewTreeFamilySubtree 1.3.6.1.6.3.9.2.1 vacmViewTreeFamilyMask "" vacmViewTreeFamilyType 1 (included) vacmViewTreeFamilyStorageType anyValidStorageType vacmViewTreeFamilyStatus active
