We consider bounded symmetric domains in complex Banach spaces. It is
known that each of these domains can be realized as open unit ball D o
f a uniquely determined complex Banach space E and that every biholomo
rphic automorphism g of D extends holomorphically to the closure ($) o
ver bar D of D in E. We study subsets S of ($) over bar D (and in part
icular of the boundary partial derivative D) such that every automorph
ism g is already uniquely determined by its values on S. We also consi
der subsets S with the analogue topological property: For every sequen
ce (g(n)) of automorphisms converging uniformly on S to g the converge
nce is already uniform on D.
