Signon Security

A user can be defined to CA Top Secret so that he must be authorized to access CICS to sign on to CICS. He can also be restricted from signing on to more than one terminal at a time. CICS signon is accomplished using the CICS CSSN transaction menu. The menu provides for entering the user's ACID name, password, and optional new password.

CA Top Secret signon processing will also operate correctly if your installation employs a non-standard signon procedure, provided the CICS signon program, DFHSNP, is ultimately invoked by that procedure.
