Protect Your Data Sets

When a client application issues a request to CA-L-Serv to OPEN a data set on its behalf, the external security package (CA Top Secret, CA ACF2, or CA-L-Serv: RACF) is invoked to verify that the user has the required level of authority. This is done by checking the access or the user against the file using the CA-L-Serv specific resource class of $LSRVDSN.

Before CA-L-Serv is allowed to open a data set placed under its control by an ADDFILE command, external security is invoked to verify that CA-L-Serv has the required authority.
