How to Define PassTickets

To define PassTickets to CA Top Secret you must identify each application that can accept a PassTicket and assign that application a unique password called a session key. This information is added to the Node Descriptor Table (NDT) using the PSTKAPPL (PassTicket application) and SESSKEY (session key) parameters of the TSS ADD command function. Both parameters must be supplied. Refer to the Command Functions Guide for detailed information on these keywords.

This example assigns session key 296LFD to an application named PRIDEV02.

TSS ADD(NDT) PSTKAPPL(PRIDEV02) SESSKEY(296LFD)

The Node Descriptor Table (NDT) contains all PassTicket application and session key-related node information. The NDT is a global record similar to the Resource Descriptor and Field Definition Tables.
