CAISSF

The CA Standard Security Facility (CAISSF) is an interface for CA and other products. CAISSF calls CA ACF2 for z/VM to perform access validations. This section contains information on implementing CAISSF. See the Administrator Guide for information about writing rules for CAISSF.

Before you can implement CA ACF2 for z/VM security for CAISSF, your system must meet the following conditions:

You must identify the virtual machine to use the System Request Facility (SRF). See the System Programmer's Guide for information about on SRF.
You must enable the SRF logonid privilege to allow the virtual machine to issue SRF requests. See the System Programmer's Guide for additional information.
You must make the CAS9SEC MODULE, the translator module, and the ACFSRF LOADLIB available to the virtual machine. You can call the translator CAS9M9rr, where rr is the CA ACF2 for z/VM release number.
You must define the resource class in the SSFTYPE VMO record. The format of this resource class is an eight‑character resource name that CA ACF2 for z/VM translates to a three‑character resource type. Each product will inform you of the resource names they use. See the Administrator Guide for information about the SSFTYPE VMO record.
