To activate security for
CICSPlex® SM,
you must:
Together these parameters determine what security checking is performed.
Table 1 explains the possible parameter combinations.
Table 1. Parameters controlling security
checkingCMAS (CICSPlex SM parameter) |
MAS (CICS system initialization
parameter) |
Explanation |
SEC(YES) |
SEC=YES |
Both view selection checking and simulated security checking
can occur, depending on the settings in the CICSSYS and CPLEXDEF views. This
means that after CICSPlex SM determines
whether a user can display a particular view, simulated security determines
what information can be provided in the view. |
SEC(YES) |
SEC=NO |
View selection occurs; simulated security checking does
not occur even if it is requested in the CICSSYS or CPLEXDEF views. This
means that after CICSPlex SM determines
whether a user can display a designated view, no simulated security checking
is performed to determine what information is to be provided in that view. |
SEC(NO) |
SEC=YES |
CICSPlex SM does
not allow the MAS to connect to the CMAS. This prevents a MAS that has requested
security from connecting to a CMAS that cannot provide security. |
Note: CICSPlex SM honors
any of the system initialization parameters XCMD, XDB2, XDCT, XFCT, XJCT,
XPCT, and XPPT; that is, CICSPlex SM includes
or excludes the designated commands and resources from security checking.
For each MAS, you can specify YES, NO, or CLASS NAME for these system initialization
parameters. However, for the CMAS, you must specify NO for each of
these system initialization parameters.
