Support CP LOGON BY when CA VM:Secure is Unavailable

When CA VM:Secure is down, for example as in a disaster recovery situation, you can have VM:Secure use the LOGONBY statement in the CP directory to allow access to shared virtual machines.

Note: For more information about this support, see Enabling CP LOGON BY When CA VM:Secure is Unavailable.

Examples

• Joan wants to allow you to log on to her user ID, JOAN. Your user ID is FRED and your password is TURKEY.

  Joan creates the following rule in her user rules file:

  ACCEPT FRED LOGONBY
  

  You can then log on to the JOAN user ID by following this procedure:

  1. Type logon joan BY fred.

     Rules evaluation occurs at this point, and the software searches for an ACCEPT LOGONBY rule that covers the user ID JOAN. If such a rule is found, you are prompted for your password.

  2. Enter your password, turkey.

     You are then granted access to the user ID JOAN. However, if you do not enter your password or enter it incorrectly, you are denied access.

• The following rules in the BARNEY user rules file prevent security group ADMINGRP members from logging on to BARNEY using the LOGONBY Facility, but allow user BETTY to log on to BARNEY using LOGONBY:

  REJECT ADMINGRP LOGONBY (GROUP
  ACCEPT BETTY LOGONBY
