Use VMCF to secure VMCF communication targets.

When used with TSS ADDTO/REMOVE, this resource class has the following format:

TSS ADDTO(acid) VMCF(userid,userid,userid,...)

Prefix length

One to eight characters

Capacity of list

Generic prefixing allows the administrator to group a set of similar resource names together, and define them by generic prefix.

Note: The communication targets control the ability of users to issue a VMCF send to the virtual machine designated by the resource name.

When used with TSS PERMIT/REVOKE, this resource class has the following format:

TSS PERMIT(acid) VMCF(oper,oper,oper,...)
