SOMDOBJS Class

Use the SOMDOBJS class in CA Top Secret to control a client’s access to CORBA objects. Resource names in SOMDOBJS have the form:

server_name.home.method

server_name

Specifies the server name.

Size: 8 characters or less

home

Specifies the home name.

Size: 192 characters or less

method

Specifies the method name.

Size: Up to the remainder of 244 minus the sum of the server and home name lengths.

Example: If the server name is eight characters, and the home name is 128 characters, the method name can be 244 ‑ 8 -128 = 108.

If a method is protected by SOMDOBJS and a client program is using the method to:

• Give the client UPDATE authorization for the method.
• Read an attribute of an object, give the client READ authorization for the method.

All names are folded into uppercase characters, regardless of how you enter them. There is no difference between MY_server.MY_home.MY_method and MY_SERVER.MY_HOME.MY_METHOD.

In addition to the SOMDOBJS definitions, specify method‑level access checking through the WebSphere for z/OS Administration application. Check the box for method‑level access checking when you define your application’s container.
