Step 6. Test CA VM:Secure

  1. Log on to VMANAGER. Verify the System administrator environment setup by entering VMADMIN. Select VMSECURE, then cursor to the SYSAD selection. The VMSECURE 176 is linked and accessed.
  2. Enter this command:
    VMSECURE QUERY ALLOC
    

    Note the amount of minidisk space allocated. You will use this value in a later step.

  3. Enter this command:
    VMSECURE QUERY SKELETON
    

    GENERAL skeleton will be returned. You will use this in a later step.

  4. Enter this command:
    VMSECURE QUERY SUBPOOLS
    

    Note the subpools listed. You will use this information in a later step.

  5. Enter this command:
    VMSECURE MANAGE XYZ
    
    1. Define the new user ID XYZ (selection 1). Make sure the skeleton name shown on this screen is one of the names that displayed in step 3.
    2. Define and format 191 and 192 minidisks of 1 cylinder each (selection 2). Define read, write, and multiple passwords for the 191 minidisk. Make sure the subpool name displayed on this screen is one of the names that displayed in step 4.
    3. Scratch the 192 minidisk (selection 4).
    4. Put the user ID on hold (selection 5). You are returned to CMS.
  6. Enter this command to verify that the user ID XYZ is on hold:
    VMSECURE QUERY HOLD
    
  7. Enter this command:
    VMSECURE MANAGE XYZ
    
    1. Reactivate the user ID (selection 1).
    2. Change the size of the 191 minidisk to 2 cylinders (selection 6).
    3. Move the 191 minidisk to another location, keeping it the same size (selection 6).
    4. Move the 191 minidisk to another device type (selection 6). This is an optional step.
    5. Modify the XYZ directory comments (selection 7).
    6. Review the XYZ directory entry (selection 8).
    7. Press PF3 until you return to CMS.
  8. Enter this command:
    VMSECURE QUERY ALLOC
    

    Compare the figures with those noted in Step 2.

  9. Enter this command:
    VMSECURE QUERY USERS X*
    

    User ID XYZ displays.

  10. Enter this command:
    VMSECURE USER
    
    1. Create a directory link to the XYZ 191 minidisk (selection 7).
    2. Establish a read password for VMANAGER 193 minidisk (selection 2).
    3. Press PF12 to return to CMS.
  11. Log off VMANAGER and log on as user XYZ. The initial password for a new user ID defaults to the name of the user ID.
  12. Link to VMANAGER 193 to gain access to the VMSECURE MODULE so you can enter VMSECURE commands.
    LINK VMANAGER 193 193 RR
    
    1. Enter the read password for the VMANAGER 193 established in step 10.
    2. Enter this command to access the minidisk:
      ACCESS 193 G
      
  13. Enter this command:
    VMSECURE USER
    
    1. Change the logon storage size and password (selection 1).
    2. Review the XYZ read password to its 191 minidisk (selection 2); it should be the same as the one you chose in step 5. In order for this to work, the PWSUPRES record must be commented out in the SECURITY CONFIG.
    3. Change the XYZ screen colors and highlighting (selection 6). These changes can only be verified on terminals that support color display.
    4. Define a link to the VMANAGER 193 (selection 7).
    5. Remove the link that VMANAGER has to the XYZ 191 minidisk (selection 8).
    6. Change the XYZ distribution code (selection 9).
    7. Remove the XYZ directory link to the VMANAGER 193 minidisk (selection 10).
    8. Review the XYZ directory entry to see the effects of the changes you made (selection 11).

  19. Enter this command:
    VMSECURE USER
    

    You receive a message indicating that VMSECURE is not available.
