Bypassing Password Verification

Once a user is logged onto one of these online interfaces, you can bypass password specification and allow the user to log on to a CA View database:

• CICS pseudo-conversational
• IMS
• ISPF/cross memory
• TSO/cross memory
• ROSCOE/cross memory

To implement this functionality, do the following:

1. Specify LGNSEC=YES for the cross-memory region startup parameter.
2. Specify the appropriate SARDEF records for CA ACF2.

Note:

• For more information about the LGNSEC parameter, see the Installation Guide.
• For more information about samples, see the sample SAFDEF records for CA ACF2 (additional modification may be required due to site requirements).

For the ISPF interface:

SAFDEF.SAR1 ID(SAR1) MODE(GLOBAL) PROGRAM(SARSPF) RB(SVC019) -
            RACROUTE(REQUEST=AUTH,CLASS=DATASET)

For the VTAM/XMEM interface:

SAFDEF.SAR3 ID(SAR3) MODE(GLOBAL) PROGRAM(EC2XMDRV) RB(SVC019) -
            RACROUTE(REQUEST=AUTH,CLASS=DATASET)

SAFDEF.SAR4 ID(SAR4) MODE(GLOBAL) PROGRAM(EC2VTDRV) RB(SVC019) -
            RACROUTE(REQUEST=AUTH,CLASS=DATASET)

Note: Issue the following ACF2 command to activate the above SAFDEF records:

F ACF2,REFRESH(SAFDEF)
