External Security Setup

CA PanAPT issues external security calls almost about every function and action related to CA PanAPT functionality. CA PanAPT uses the CA Standard Security Facility (CAISSF), which is a standardized security interface to CA ACF2, CA Top Secret, and RACF. The CA PanAPT User Identification Facility (UIF) also interfaces with external security. All security rules are in DSN format so that the rules built by CA PanAPT are the same regardless of the security package you are running.

To use the external security interface

  1. Define PANAPT as a resource class to your security system.
  2. Use the high-level ownership for CA Top Secret or the key for CA ACF2 as follows:
  3. If your security package requires access rules, then you must update your security system to allow access for the following security checks:

See the CA ACF2 Example that allows access to all users and all activities.
