Suspend a User

Suspend a user ID to deactivate but not delete the user ID from an ESM. Suspension preserves the user security definitions and entitlements for future reference. Before you suspend a user, review your site policies for user removal.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to CA Chorus.
2. Add the Security Command Manager module to your dashboard from the Module Library.

   The Security Command Manager module opens. The previously selected system appears in the System field. Your CA Chorus logged-in user name appears in the User Name field.

   Note: If a previously selected system is not present, the first system in the System drop-down list is selected.

3. (Optional) Select a system from the System drop-down list to connect to a different system.
4. Choose one of the following options:
   • If the user name for the selected system is the same as the logged-in user name, go to step 6.
   • If the user name for the selected system is different, go to step 4.

   Note: After you select a system, CA Chorus generates a PassTicket to authorize your connection. If the PassTicket authorization fails, enter your password to log in to the system.

5. Enter your user name.
6. (Optional) Enter the password for the selected system. The Password field appears in the following cases:
   • The PassTicket generation fails.
   • The user name that you enter is different from the logged-in user name.
   • If the application ID is not set while configuring the security systems. The application ID is used to generate a PassTicket for a logged-in user.

   Note: For more information about the application ID and identifying systems for the Security Command Manager module, see the CA Chorus for Security and Compliance Management Site Preparation Guide.

7. Enter one of the following commands, and click Submit:

   Note: If you are unable to access a security system, contact your systems programmer.

   For CA ACF2:

   CHANGE logonid SUSPEND
   

   For CA Top Secret:

   TSS ADDTO(acid_name) SUSPEND
   

   The Command Results area shows the output.

You have removed the user. The user no longer has access to your system. If you are suspending a user, this scenario is done. If you want to delete the user, go to the next topic.
