Using the NMSAF Security Solution

This chapter describes how to set up the NMSAF security solution, an integrated security management system for users of your regions.

The NMSAF security solution is based on the partial security exit facility and works in conjunction with UAMS. It provides:

• A complete security solution for your region, using whatever external security system is in use
• A sensible balance between what is stored in the external security system for your users and resources, and what is maintained on UAMS
• Control and customizing options that allow for flexible implementation

The NMSAF security solution minimizes duplication between external security definitions and UAMS. By using the NMSAF security solution, it is possible to eliminate almost all maintenance issues associated with using a UAMS data set.
