Provides Security for Database Access

To promote the security of database access, CA Datacom CICS Services passes CA Datacom/DB the following with each CA Datacom/DB request:

• User identification: Either the 3-byte operator ID or the 8-byte operator name from the CICS sign-on table (CESN OPERID or CESN USERID), depending on your specifications. CA Datacom/DB secures access and update to CA Datacom/DB tables, record, fields, and elements based on the ID of the request initiator. If you have CA Top Secret or IBM's RACF, these security products provide the ACEE address to CA Datacom CICS Services.
• CA ACF2 supplies the eight-byte USERID to the CESN USERID field, if available. Otherwise, your DFHSNT entry is used.
