Security

CA Endevor SCM provides two functional security options:

A native security facility comes with CA Endevor SCM. It enables you to secure CA Endevor SCM functions (access and actions) by using security tables.

Note: For more information about native security, see the Security Guide.

The External Security Interface is an optional feature that enables you to secure CA Endevor SCM functions (access and actions) through the z/OS Security Access Facility (SAF) and in conjunction with the installation security package on your system. It does this by allowing you to define the rules for function security in your installation security package (RACF, CA ACF2, CA Top Secret) rather than in the native tables supplied with CA Endevor SCM.

Note: For more information about enabling and using CA Endevor SCM ESI, see the Security Guide.

We recommend that you implement data set security to prevent unauthorized access to the data sets controlled by CA Endevor SCM.
