Using the TERMINAL Keyword

The TERMINAL parameter is used to define terminals to the system and to establish access authorizations. If a generic prefix is used, its length must be between one and eight characters. For example, to include ownership of VTAM terminal L1032209 in the accounting department’s scope, enter this TSS command:

TSS ADD(ACCTDEPT)  TERM(L103)

Once defined to CA Top Secret, terminals (who can access them) are specifically restricted. For example, the following authorizes USER01 to use any L103 terminals in the morning:

TSS PER(USER01)  TERM(L103)  TIMES(07,12)

To give all users this kind of authority, enter:

TSS PER(ALL)  TERM(L103)  TIMES(07,12)

To allow a specific user to access all protected terminals, enter:

TSS PER(acid)  TERM(*ALL*)

In the last example, TERM(*ALL*) must have been previously assigned to the MSCA:

TSS ADD(MSCA)  TERM(*ALL*)
