CA IDMS Signon Security

CA Top Secret requires all users to be identified. Once the user is defined to CA Top Secret, he can use CA IDMS.

All users must be defined to CA IDMS in the CA IDMS Data Dictionary, in addition to being defined to CA Top Secret. In addition, if a user is defined in the Data Dictionary as having a password, then the user will be prompted twice for a password when he attempts to sign on-once by CA IDMS for the password in the Data Dictionary, and once by CA Top Secret for the CA Top Secret password.

Note: We strongly suggest that users be defined in the CA IDMS Data Dictionary as not having a password, thus allowing CA Top Secret to perform all password checking.

See the Implementation: CA IDMS Guide for more information on password controls for CA IDMS signon security.
