Security Action/Message Table

If you are using RACF, SAF, CA ACF2, or CA Top Secret, you can use the Security Action/Message Table (SAMT) to customize how the product handles return codes and messages from your security system. The SAMT can be maintained by system administrators through online administration. For information on using the SAMT, see the Administration Guide.

The table allows you to:

• Specify a message to be displayed if a specific return code or message is received from the security system.
• Specify that the product allow a user to signon, reject a signon attempt, re-prompt the user, or log the terminal off, depending on the return code or message received from the security system.
• Specify the cursor position if the product rejects a signon attempt or re-prompts the user.
• Suppress messages from the security system.
• Replace security system messages with custom messages.
