Access Security

Three levels of security are available to CA IDMS DMLO users. You can select the degree of database protection that is needed at your installation.

• Level One Security—You may choose to bypass the CA IDMS DMLO security feature. If you decide not to use security, CA IDMS DMLO will verify only that the subschema name entered at signon is valid and usable.
• Level Two Security—Security is achieved through user ID and password entered at signon. CA IDMS DMLO allows you three chances to enter your correct password and ID.
• Level Three Security—At this security level CA IDMS DMLO verifies both password and ID (Level Two) and also makes certain that the user is authorized to access the subschema requested.

Note: Any access restrictions imposed by Level Three security will be reflected in the list of subschemas presented if a subschema selection list is requested at signon.

You can augment any CA IDMS DMLO level by also restricting access by ready mode. You can change the standard ready modes CA IDMS DMLO will process at a global level, and at the user ID level. For more information, see the appropriate CA IDMS Installation and Maintenance Guide.
