Phase 2 - Diagnostic Procedures › Facility Access › Sign-on Passwords not being Checked › STEP 1

STEP 1

Determine user’s or profile’s security mode.

TSS LIST(acid) DATA(XAUTH,PROF)
 TSS WHOHAS MODE(DORM or WARN)

Is user or profile ACID in either DORMANT or WARN mode?

• If YES, consider that DORMANT mode may allow access without security checking. WARN mode may also allow access, but CA Top Secret sends messages to the user’s terminal. Consider using the TSS PERMIT command to move the user to a more restrictive security mode (IMPL or FAIL). This prohibits a user from accessing a facility unless explicitly authorized. Or assign the DORMPW or WARNPW attribute to the facility:

  TSS MODIFY ('FAC(fac=DORMPW)')
  

  or
  

  TSS MODIFY('FAC(fac=WARNPW)').

  This forces defined users and jobs to enter their correct passwords while in WARN mode.

  If user is in WARN, go to STEP 4. If in DORMANT, go to STEP 8.

• If NO, go to STEP 2.
