Understanding the Interfaces to CA Automation Point › Command-level Security › Security Parameter

Security Parameter

When the CA OPS/MVS OSFSECURITY parameter has a value of CHECKUSERID, the following rules apply:

• All messages and commands sent directly from CA Automation Point to CA OPS/MVS are associated with the z/OS user ID defined by the CA OPS/MVS APDEFAULTUSERID parameter.
• If you are using Remote Viewer to access CA Automation Point sessions, all messages and commands are associated with the Remote Viewer username. The Remote Viewer username overrides the CA OPS/MVS APDEFAULTUSERID parameter, and must conform to the restrictions of the z/OS security package.
• The z/OS user ID defined by the CA OPS/MVS APDEFAULTUSERID and the Remote Viewer usernames should be granted the proper security access on z/OS.

If the CA OPS/MVS OSFSECURITY parameter has a value of NOSECURITY, then commands sent from CA Automation Point to CA OPS/MVS execute with the security attributes of the OSF TSO servers.

For details about these parameters, see the Parameter Reference.
