Security Issues

The CA Spool security system makes it possible to control access to CA Spool resources (files, printers, and commands). Attempts to access a resource are checked by CA Spool using the security interface selected by the system administrator. CA Spool has a number of security interfaces. Some of these are based on authorization rules defined internally; others interact with external security systems. Security interfaces include:

External Security: The SAF interface uses external security systems.
Internal Security: Internal SAF is the internal interface.
Combined Internal and External Security: You can combine internal and external security. You can use Internal SAF in combination with SAF. The system administrator can enable some users and resources to be defined or changed internally or externally.
