Product-supplied CAISSF Calls

Most CA products have their own built‑in security schemes. This can cause problems because of the administrative overhead to maintain separate authorizations. CAISSF solves this problem and gives you the ability to centralize this function.

You can ask CA ACF2 for VM to create SMF records for CAISSF requests. You also have the ability to review the CA ACF2 for VM databases and cross‑reference users to resources.

Every CA product with an interface to CAISSF publishes a Security Administrator Guide. This guide describes:

To activate CAISSF security in a product, read the requirements in the Security Administrator Guide and set them up as described. When you have completed all the tasks and have tested the rules, activate CAISSF security for the product. After you have activated CAISSF, CA ACF2 for VM validates all access attempts and passes access recommendations back to the product. The product then allows or denies the access.
