Securing CA Dataquery Access Through Signon Procedures

You can restrict access to CA Dataquery through a CA Dataquery signon procedure or through a signon/off exit.

Signon Procedure

The CA DataqueryAdministrator creates each user signon. The user signon consists of a user name and an optional password. When the user is created, a PERSON entity-occurrence is automatically added to CA Datacom Datadictionary. To help ensure that your security procedures are simple, and efficient, ensure that the CA Dataquery signon procedures conform to the standards set for the site.

Note: For more information about creating user signons, see the CA Dataquery Administrator Guide.

Signon/off Exit

You can use the signon/off exit to interface CA Dataquery with other security packages or to perform your own security checks.

Note: For more information about the signon/off exit, see the CA Dataquery Administrator Guide.

User Program Signon

If you want to control access to CA Dataquery by a program written at your site, you can do so.

Note: For more information about initiating CA Dataquery from a program rather than from a terminal, see the CA Dataquery Administrator Guide.
