Security Application Programming Interface

What You can Do

A user-written application in Assembler language can issue security requests to CA IDMS centralized security. All requests pass a Security Request Block (SRB). A request can be issued from a user mode or a system mode application.

Security Macros

You can issue a security request using the following:

• #SECHECK—To check authorization for accessing a resource.
• #SECSGON—To validate the user and sign the user on.
• #SECSGOF—To sign the user off.

Note: For more information about how to use security macros, see the following sections:
