I have been digging thought the documentation available on the  wiki and I have 
not found any documentation that tells how to generate.

I have two questions:
(Question 1)

Is there a ACL file that basically wildcards all the permissions so the 
application in question basically works the same with SECURED=1 as it did with 
SECURED=0.

I recall seeing a post in the past with a permissive ACL but I could not find 
it with my fast search.

Once I have the *.json file with the ACLs.  How to I generate the *.dat file?

I want something like this so I can update unittests to just work and not fail 
due to ACCESS_DENIED failure due to no ACL found.

(Question 2)
Where can I go to find out more about the ACL options.  Right now there are 
many tags in the example json files that I don't know what is expected.

I want to know things like:

-        What values are expected for the 'permission:' tag? I see 2, 6, 7 I 
assume the integer represents a mask of read/write/execute values but I don't 
know those from the number.

-        I assume (maybe wrongly) that 'rowneruuid' identifies the remote user. 
Can I have multiple remote users?

-        Why is rowneruuid in the 'acl' and in the 'cred' when in all of the 
examples they appear to be the same.  Is this for some mapping?

-        What is the meaning of the numbers for the tags in 'creds'? Tags like 
'credid', 'credtype', 'privatedata'.  In the `privatedata` is the 'data' a 
public key?

I have looked over the documents I could find on the wiki found from this page. 
 https://wiki.iotivity.org/security?do=backlink

I feel there are probably more documents in the security working groups 
workspace but I don't even know where to start.

I am not a security expert so a lot of the nitty gritty details elude me.  What 
I want is a good enough understanding to write a program or ACL file and feel 
assured it has the permissions and security. Just like many users I have been 
working with code compiled with SECURED=0.  Now that SECURED=1 is the default I 
am working on updating samples and unit test code to work again.
