Converting to Full Security › CA ACF2 for z/VM Mode Transition › QUIET Mode

QUIET Mode

After you install CA ACF2 for z/VM, you can set the system mode to QUIET. For example, you may still be writing access rules to access data, but you want users to be able to access data without creating SMF records. The purpose of QUIET mode is to let you begin rule writing while CA ACF2 for z/VM is active, although not in full ABORT mode. In QUIET mode, as in all CA ACF2 for z/VM system modes, the system verifies that the user is authorized to access the system and verify the following:

• Logonid and password of a user entering the system are correct
• Access is through a correct input source
• User is accessing during a specific shift and according to other privileges defined by the user’s logonid record.

Note: CA ACF2 for z/VM does not check access rules in QUIET mode.
