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

  You define a user ID as the default using the SECURITY initialization parameter.

  Note: CA strongly recommends that you assign a specific user ID for CA-GSS.

• Because this is the default user ID, the ID should be very limited in scope.
