How to Use External Security

As an administrator, you can use an external security product (CA ACF2, CA Top Secret, or RACF) to authorize login and secure data for CA Spool. Users can log in with either a password or password phrase. Customize both CA Spool and the security product to enable this support. For CA Spool, customize the ESFPARM input file. For the security product, customize the security calls that CA Spool issues. Follow this process:

  1. In CA Spool, enable external security.
  2. In CA Spool, configure the SAFTYPE statements to secure access to resources.
  3. Verify that you understand the typical types of users and their access rights in CA Spool.
  4. Configure your external security product to secure CA Spool:
  5. (Optional) Enable login using password phrases (passphrases).
