CA SAF HFS ADD/PERMIT Generation Utility

A set of utility programs is provided to generate CA Top Secret commands used as a starter set of resource definitions and authorizations for new implementations. The HFS resource authorizations created give access based upon the file permission bits defined for groups and ‘other’ users. The rules give users the same default access to files they have when not running CA SAF HFS security. The generated authorizations must be modified to allow appropriate users greater access to the directory resources than that granted to the general user community. Because of the number of files that can be contained in the HFS the utility only covers the directories. File permissions can be added before running the REXX exec.

The HFS File System contains directories and files in a tree structure. In order to quickly add CA Top Secret security a set of procedures and utilities are provided.
