CA Global SubSystem › System Security › User IDs

User IDs

CA‑GSS needs two user IDs defined to your security software for proper security enforcement:

• The primary user ID assigned by the system to the CA‑GSS started task or job
• A user ID with limited scope to use as a default ID for service requests that either have no associated user ID or for which CA‑GSS cannot determine the associated user ID

  Define a user ID as the default using the SECURITY initialization parameter.

  Note: We recommend that you assign a specific user ID for CA-GSS.

• This is the default user ID, so make the ID limited in scope.
