CAISSF Facilities

CAISSF provides facilities for the other vendor products and for CA security products. The products use the facilities to ask CAISSF for validation. CAISSF asks CA ACF2 for VM for recommendations. The facilities invoke a number of CA ACF2 for VM services. These services include:

• Password validation and password change
• Logon access control
• Resource access validation
• Data access validation
• User information extract.

The CA ACF2 for VM services each product uses are entirely dependent on the product and vary based on product needs. For example, products you can dial into can use logon access control, but if a user is logged onto VM, the product can use the password validation service. (The Security Administrator Guide lists all vendor products with the CA ACF2 for VM services needed.)
