Global Security › Setting Up a Security Administrator

Setting Up a Security Administrator

A security administrator with authority to set global options and maintain Security Classes can be set up through the CA Endevor/DB Online facility or the CA Endevor/DB Batch facility. To do this, you must accomplish the following tasks:

1. Set up a user description for the security administrator.
2. Associate the security administrator with an appropriate Security Class.

To do so using the Batch facility, submit a Batch job containing the following CA Endevor/DB commands:

SIGNON USER NAME IS user-name DICTNAME IS dictname.
MOD USER EDBADMIN SECURITY CLASS IS NDVR-GLOBAL.

To do so using the Online facility, sign on to DC/UCF. Then sign on to CA Endevor/DB by entering NDVR at the ENTER NEXT TASK CODE: prompt.

The Signon Function menu displays as follows:

CA-E/DB nn.n volser             SIGNON FUNCTION               mm/dd/yy  NDVRM000
USER ===> EDBADMIN            DICTNAME ===> SRCNDVR           MODE ===> UPDATE
OPTION ===> 2
1  - SIGNON AND RETURN TO IDMS          2  - SIGNON AND GO TO FUNCTION MENU
ENDEVOR/DB USER:
NAME        ===> EDBADMIN
PASSWORD    ===>
CCID(S):        ===>                 ===>                 ===>
    ("NOCCID    ===>                 ===>                 ===>
    TO CLEAR)   ===>                 ===>                 ===>
                ===>                 ===>                 ===>
ONLINE SYSTEM PARAMETERS:
DBNAME      ===> SRCNDVR
USAGE MODE  ===> UPDATE

Perform the following tasks:

1. Enter 2 (SIGNON AND GO TO FUNCTION MENU) after OPTION ===>
2. Enter the Userid of the security administrator in the NAME field.
3. Enter the Dictionary name associated with this CCDB after DBNAME ===>.

   Since Auto-User is in effect, the CA Endevor/DB system will automatically create a user record for the security administrator. This user will be automatically associated with the Security Class NDVR-DDA that is insufficient for security administration. In a later step, the Security Class will be changed. The Main Function Menu displays as follows:

   CA-E/DB nn.n volser            MAIN FUNCTION MENU             mm/dd/yy  NDVRU000
   USER ===> EDBADMIN            DICTNAME ===> SRCNDVR           MODE ===> UPDATE

               12  - RETURN TO IDMS/DC
   

4. Enter 7 (USER AND USER CHANGE HISTORY) after OPTION ===>. Press ENTER.

   The system will respond with the USER FUNCTIONS menu as follows:

   CA-E/DB nn.n volser              USER FUNCTIONS               mm/dd/yy  NDVRU700
   USER ===> EDBADMIN            DICTNAME ===> SRCNDVR           MODE ===> UPDATE
   OPTION ===> 3

   5  - BROWSE USER/CHANGE ASSOCIATIONS    6  - ADD A USER/CHANGE ASSOCIATION
   7  - MODIFY USER/CHANGE ASSOCIATIONS    8  - DELETE USER/CHANGE ASSOCIATIONS
   USER           ===> EDBADMIN                          (IF OPTIONS 1-8 )
   ENTITY:                                               (IF OPTIONS 5, 6, 7, 8 )
      NAME        ===>
      TYPE        ===>
      VERSION     ===>
   CHANGE-LOG SELECTION CRITERIA:                        (IF OPTIONS 5, 6, 7, 8 )
      START DATE  ===>                  END DATE  ===> mm/dd/yy
      START TIME  ===>                  END TIME  ===>
      ACTION CODE ===>
   

5. Enter 3 (MODIFY USER DESCRIPTIONS) in the OPTIONS field.
6. Enter the security administrator's userid in the USER field.

   Press ENTER.

   The User Detail screen for the Security Administrator displays as follows:

    CA-E/DB nn.n volser               USER DETAIL                 mm/dd/yy  NDVRM710
    USER ===> EDBADMIN             DICTNAME ===> SRCNDVR          MODE ===> UPDATE
    ACTION ===> MODIFY
    ******************************  USER INFORMATION  *****************************
    USER         ===> EDBADMIN                            PASSWORD ===>
    SECURITY CLS ===> NDVR-GLOBAL
    CURRENT CCID ===>
    COMMENT      ===> CCDB ADMINISTRATOR
    LOCKED       ===> N        LOCK DATE ===>            LOCK TIME ===>
   

   This user definition was added by the system automatically at Sign-on.

7. Tab down to SECURITY CLS ===>.
8. Enter NDVR-GLOBAL.

   Press ENTER.

   The system will now associate the userid for the security administrator with the NDVR-GLOBAL Security Class. From this point forward, the security administrator will have the capability to update anything in the CCDB (provided NDVR-GLOBAL is not altered). It is recommended that the security administrator be the only user with NDVR-GLOBAL as a Security Class.

   The User Functions screen displays. The security administrator is now established.
