CA1_VRFY_SECURITY_EXIT_PSWD

Description

This check raises an exception when it finds that security has not been set up for the CA 1 ISPF panels. The default interval for this check is to run once at startup and the exception interval is every 24 hours.

Best Practice

The CA 1 ISPF online system provides access to critical data about the volumes and files protected and managed by CA 1. If this data is not properly protected through calls to the external security system, tape data can be expired prematurely and critical tape data can be lost. The CA 1 System Option PSWD controls whether calls are made to the external security system to restrict access to the CA 1 ISPF online. CA strongly recommends that PSWD should be set to YES, and rules to control access should be set up in your external security system.
