Inferred Passwords

By placing the user's password‑ID in the installation data field (INSTDATA) of the user's Security Record, CA Top Secret returns the password‑ID to FOCUS when FOCUS is invoked by the user. This password‑ID is the inferred password.

In addition, several CA Top Secret users can be mapped into the same FOCUS password‑ID. This is quite useful if the password‑ID represents a group of users who have identical FOCUS authorization privileges.
