Because of their importance in the CA Top Secret security environment, ACIDs are validated in many different ways to protect against unauthorized use. First, CA Top Secret checks the Security File to determine whether a designated ACID has been defined (by seeing if a Security Record exists for it). Second, if the ACID is undefined, CA Top Secret responds based on the initial control option settings for the security mode and various system options.
Password validation occurs when the user signs on, supplying his ACID and its associated password. CA Top Secret verifies that the supplied password is correct by checking it against the ACID/password combination stored within CA Top Secret. If the supplied ACID/password combination matches, the user is allowed to continue; if it does not match, the user is denied access to the system. By combining password assignment and validation in this way, CA Top Secret lets you secure your environment by controlling who can access it.
