Security Event Rules

This section discusses how to set up CA OPS/MVS to control command requests to a CA Automation Point server (outgoing).

To restrict which commands will be sent to a CA Automation Point server from CA OPS/MVS, you can write security event rules. The security event specifier AP designates the security rule for ADDRESS AP security events. The following CA Automation Point-specific variables are set in the )PROC section of the security rule: SEC.AUAPVERB, SEC.AUAPCOMM, and SEC.AUAPSYSN. These variables in conjunction with the common security variables can be used to control outgoing commands.

For example:

)SEC AP* 
)PROC
APcmd = SPACE(SEC.AUAPVERB,0)
if OPSECURE('R','APCMDS',APcmd,'R') = 'ALLOW' then
  return 'ACCEPT'
else
  return 'REJECT'

For more information on these security variables, see the AOF Rules User Guide.
