CA Top Secret Security Considerations

If you use CA Top Secret Security as your primary security package, take the following steps to establish the authorization required by the CA DRAS task to access the CA View database.

  1. Create an ACID that must be assigned to the CA DRAS started task.
  2. Give this ACID the appropriate security permissions for the CA View and CA DRAS datasets.
  3. Give this ACID access to the CA View facility.
  4. Define a new CA DRAS facility in Top Secret.
  5. Give this ACID a MASTFAC pointing to the new CA DRAS facility.
  6. Add an entry in the started task table to assign this ACID to the CA DRAS started task.
  7. Give users access to the CA DRAS facility.
  8. Restart the CA DRAS started task to pick up the new security definitions.
