CA VM:Director Command Authorization

Authorization to execute CA VM:Director commands is needed for two types of user IDs in order to utilize the SMAPI services:

1. The user ID passed as the authorized user on a Socket Server API call
2. The user ID for the SMAPI worker IDs VSMGUARD, VSMWORK2, VSMWORK3, etc

These user IDs must be authorized as follows:

Specify the user ID in the VSMWORK1 AUTHLIST file for the SMAPI Socket Server.

• Specify the user ID on a “GRANT *ALL TO userid” record in the AUTHORIZ

  CONFIG file, using the CONFIG command.

• Use the ADMIN MANAGERS command to configure the user ID as a valid CA VM:Director Directory Manager.
