Using the NMSAFF Security Solution › Components of NMSAFF

Components of NMSAFF

The NMSAFF security solution consists of the following components:

• Full security exit—NMSAFF is a full security exit to interface with your external security package.
• Modeling—Use the modeling facility to define the privileges that a user has.

  The SXCTL parameter file defines a list of resource names and associated profile names. When a user logs on, this list is searched and each resource name is tested to see whether the user has READ access. The profile of the first one that matches is then used as the user ID definition.

  By giving users PERMIT access to the appropriate resource, a user is permitted to log on and given the attributes of the associated profile.

• SXCTL parameter file—The SXCTL file is the control file that NMSAFF uses. You can use the SXCTL file as supplied or you can tailor it to your requirements by using parameters.
• Additional security exits—NMDSNCHK and NMDSSCHK can work with NMSAFF. Several other exits are supplied.
