User ACID Name Retrieval

The CA Top Secret Application Interface can be used to retrieve the ACID name of the signed-on user. This feature can be useful in application reporting and verification of users, by providing a guaranteed unique user identification.

The eight-character ACID name is retrieved by supplying a class name of ACIDNAME.

Upon return from the call, the ACID name can be retrieved from the TSSRTN return data area of the Request Record.

In addition to returning the ACID name when specifying ACIDNAME in the class field, CA Top Secret returns the following information for the signed-on user:

FACILITY

The eight-character name of the facility the user is signed on to

MODE

The eight-character MODE name of ACID

TYPE

The type of ACID (SCA, LSCA, ZCA, VCA, DCA, or USER)

TERMINAL

The terminal name of the user

SYSTEMID

The system name (SMF ID)
