Keep SAF Security Disabled on Initial Startup

CA CSM includes functionality that lets you control access to CA CSM, as well as to specific functions within CA CSM. We recommend that you have this functionality disabled when you start CA CSM for the first time.

This functionality is controlled through the safSecurity keyword in the MSMSetupOptionsFile.properties used during the installation process. It can be enabled after the installation by updating the following statement in the SAMPLIB(MSMLIB) member:

IJO="$IJO -Dactivate.saf.manager=false|true"
false

Disables security. This is the default.

true

Enables security.

Business Value:

The CA CSM security functions are established and managed using resource profiles defined in your enterprise security manager software. The setup requires an extensive understanding of the CA CSM functionality and how the product will be used to manage software, but the additional security administration work may be unnecessary in your environment. This security functionality also adds an additional level of complexity to the CA CSM installation.

We recommend you keep this security functionality disabled until the product has been thoroughly verified.

More Information:

See the Administration Guide for more information about setting up user security for CA CSM functions.
