Requiring Special User Authentication

CA Top Secret supports the physical identification of terminal users through operator identification cards. This option is available for users who have IBM 3270-compatible terminals. It is implemented by attaching the OIDCARD attribute into a user’s Security Record. For example, the following tells CA Top Secret to prompt for the operator id card to be inserted into the terminal’s badge reader whenever USER01 logs on to a virtual machine.
