VM Native AUTOLOG Support

Operands for entering the AUTOLOG and XAUTOLOG commands on native VM systems are also available with CA ACF2 for VM installed:

Without Password Suppression:

AUTOLOG target password {operands}
XAUTOLOG target PASSWORD password {operands}

With Password Suppression:

AUTOLOG target {operands}
XAUTOLOG target {operands}

Although the same AUTOLOG or XAUTOLOG operands are available on native VM and on systems with CA ACF2 for VM installed, these systems differ in who can issue the AUTOLOG or XAUTOLOG operands.

For AUTOLOG

In native VM, only CP privilege class A and B users can issue the command. This is not changed with CA ACF2 for VM.

For XAUTOLOG

In native VM only CP privilege class A and B users can enter passwords with the PASSWORD and PROMPT operands, whereas CA ACF2 for VM lets class A, B, and G users enter passwords with these operands. By allowing class G users to enter passwords for validation on CA ACF2 for VM systems, you benefit over native VM.
