To streamline access control to CA IDMS through CA IDMS Visual DBA, to provide an additional level of object security, and to present to the user a DOM tree customized for his tasks, Enhanced Object Security is available. This optional feature is based on CA IDMS Visual DBA profiles that are stored in CA IDMS on the mainframe. Setting up Enhanced Object Security consists of configuring the mainframe component of CA IDMS Visual DBA. This involves defining CA IDMS Visual DBA profiles and assigning profiles to users and/or groups.
Linking or associating profiles with users in CA IDMS Visual DBA is based on the CA IDMS session profile: when a user connects to an IDMS CV a session is established with an associated profile. An IDMS session profile can have multiple user defined attributes. The use of Enhanced Object Security requires the existence of an attribute with name VIDMSR17. The value assigned to this attribute is the dictionary and module name of an IDD module that contains the CA IDMS Visual DBA profile for the current session.
As any session attribute, the VIDMSR17 session attribute is created during signon of a user if the user's user profile or the system profile contains a VIDMSR17 attribute definition.
Implementing Enhanced Object Security through the use of CA IDMS Visual DBA profiles is the easiest way to control access to CA IDMS by CA IDMS Visual DBA.
The SQL objects defined for use by CA IDMS Visual DBA can be used by any CA IDMS client and therefore access to these objects should also be controlled.
