Multiple Node Users

Only users defined to the target node can initiate jobs on that node. To define users to multiple nodes, you must adhere to the following requirements:

• If CA Top Secret is not running on all nodes, explicitly define the user to all nodes the user needs to access. This method entails much administrative work, since anytime the user's security information changes, you must update it manually on each system.
• If CA Top Secret is running on all nodes and each node has its own security file, use the Command Propagation Facility (CPF) to propagate security information for a user across all nodes while only entering it once.
• If CA Top Secret is running on all nodes that share the same security file, then each user is implicitly defined to every other node in the system.
