The Parameter File

You can change any default setting to tailor security during the security implementation phase. The default for the MODE option is FAIL.

After being entered into the parameter file, the initial options become a base or foundation. Although these options might be overridden, CA Top Secret reverts to the options listed in the parameter file when CA Top Secret is restarted.

For z/VM, you have to link and access the product server 100 minidisk to update the parameter file:

Link   tssvm   100   1100  mr
Access 1100    m  

The product locates the parameter file by using the following name search order:

  1. Node-id PARMS
  2. User-id PARMS
  3. TSS PARMS
