ADDTO Command for Global and Local Key Permission Defaults on CA Top Secret

Use the ADDTO command to define global and local permissions for all keys to CA Top Secret. This command indicates the default permissions for using all keys on the specified BES subsystem.

This command has the following format:

TSS ADDTO(department) CA@BES(BESn.KEYS.permissions)     
TSS

Indicates a CA Top Secret command.

ADDTO

Specifies the ADDTO command. The short form of this command is ADD.

department

Specifies the department name that owns the BES resources.

CA@BES

Specifies the general resource class for CA Tape Encryption. This is always CA@BES.

n

Indicates the BES task number. If you specify BES with no subsystem identifier, the profile applies to all BES subsystems.

Note: If you do not specify a BES task number for this command, the profile is a global profile that applies to all BES subsystems. If you specify a BES task number, the profile is a local profile that applies to the specific BES subsystem.

KEYS

Specifies that this statement defines the default key permissions for the specified BES subsystem.

permissions

Specifies the permission setting. Options for this parameter are as follows:

PERMIT

Specifies that all keys are permitted for all users on the specified BES subsystem unless otherwise defined.

PROTECT

Specifies that all keys are prohibited to all users on the specified BES subsystem unless otherwise defined.
