Generate Pass Ticket and Gen Qualified Pass Ticket Fields

The following values are valid for both the Generate Pass Ticket and Gen Qualified Pass Ticket fields wherever they appear, except on the Self-Maintenance Class Tables.

Valid values are Y (Yes), N (No), or null. This value overrides the value for the same field specified in the Application Characteristics Table (ACT).

Y

Specify Y to generate a pass ticket when a session with this application is started. The &PSWD variable for this application is set to the value of the generated pass ticket at the start of the application session.

N

Specify N if you do not want a pass ticket generated for this application.

Null

Indicates use of the specification from the ACT for this application.

Any combination of valid values for both Generate Pass Ticket and Gen Qualified Pass Ticket is permitted. CA TPX attempts to use the most secure form of pass ticket available based of the settings in CA TPX and the Pass Ticket Profile, if any, as defined in the external security system.

If CA TPX determines that a qualified pass ticket is requested but not available, and a nonqualified pass ticket is not permitted (that is, Generate Pass Ticket set to N or null), the requested session is not started and the user is notified.
