How to Initialize CA Top Secret as a Subsystem

This section explains how to use CAISEC00 to start CA Top Secret and CA SAF SECTRACE subsystems automatically. You can initialize CA Top Secret from CAISEC00 or from the command table SYS1.PARMLIB(COMMNDxx).

Note: For first-time installations of CA Top Secret, put a START TSS entry in SYS1.PARMLIB(COMMNDxx) or a TSS(xx START) entry in CAISEC00; otherwise, you must start CA Top Secret manually from the operator console.

1. Create a member called CAISEC00 for your started tasks. In CAISEC00, list each subsystem name, whether it should start automatically, and which members of SYS1.PARMLIB contain additional operands for the START command. For example:

   EDIT ---- SYS1.PARMLIB(CAISEC00) - 01.01 --------------- COLUMNS 001 072 COMMAND ===> SCROLL ===> CSR 
   ************************* TOP OF DATA ************************* 00000001 TSS(xx START) 
   00000003 TRCE(xx START) 
   00000004 PROMPT 
   ************************ BOTTOM OF DATA *********************** 
   

   Note: To start some, but not all, of the subsystems listed in the CAISEC00 member, place an asterisk (*) to the left of the name of each subsystem that you do not want to start. Notice that the entry number matches the SYS1.PARMLIB member. For example, TSS(01 START) matches member CAITSS01.

2. Specify the following keyword in the CAISEC00 member. To do so, selecting the CAISECxx suffix by responding to the prompt message:

   PROMPT

   Indicates that the operator console should be prompted for specification of the CAISEC initialization parameters. During CA SAF initialization, a WTOR message CAS2070I is issued to allow the operator to specify the CA SAF initialization parameters.

3. Specify that CA SAF is to use the CAITSSxx parmlib member by using one of the following options:

   TSS(xx) 
   TSS(xx START) 
   TSS(xx NOSTART) 
   

4. Specify the CAISECxx parmlib member suffix by using one of the following options:

   SEC=xx or SEC(xx) 
   

   This step lets a site maintain multiple CAISECxx parmlib members. CAISEC00 is the initial parmlib member processed during CA SAF startup processing. Within the CAISEC00 member, you can specify any of the valid initialization parameters, including SEC=xx to indicate that an alternate parmlib member should be processed. The last value processed for any of the valid initialization keywords is the value selected for processing. To avoid initialization processing loops, a CAISEC member suffix can be specified only once for processing.

   Note the following behaviors:

   • To use the CAISEC00 parmlib member as it currently exists, use the U option to cause CA SAF. This value is the default, and it lets you continue processing.
   • The U option is available as a response to the prompt at the console only; you cannot use it as a keyword value in CAISEC00. You are unable to specify any other parameters after you specify U.
   • If you specify a single parameter or multiple parameters, such as TSS(xx), these replace their counterparts in CAISEC00 or any other CAISECxx member that you specify with the SEC(xx) parameter. All other parameters remain the same.

   Note: To use one or more of these options automatically at startup, put them in CAISEC00 and remove the PROMPT keyword.
