CA 7 Logon and UID Resource Validation

When a user logs on to CA WA CA 7 Edition, the user can optionally supply a UID resource name in the UID RESOURCE field on the Logon panel. If no UID resource name is supplied, a check is made to see whether one is defined in the CA WA CA 7 Edition profile record of the user. If present, the profile resource name is used as if it were entered on the Logon panel. The USERID and PASSWORD supplied are first validated through external security. Next, a lookup is performed to determine whether the user is defined in the CA WA CA 7 Edition Internal Security module.

If the user is defined in the Internal Security module, any UID resource name passed on the Logon panel is ignored. If the user is not defined in the Internal Security module, the UID Resource Table is searched to find a matching resource entry.

If the resource name is not found in the UID Resource Table, the user is signed on to CA WA CA 7 Edition with a UID value of 0. If a matching resource entry is found, a call is made to external security to validate the authority of the user to access the resource.

If the user is not authorized to access the resource, a message is displayed indicating the failure and the logon attempt fails. If the user is authorized to access the resource, the associated UID value in the UID Resource Table is assigned to the user.

This process lets external security control UID assignment to CA WA CA 7 Edition users and eliminates the need to maintain all USERIDs in the CA WA CA 7 Edition Internal Security module.

Note: The UID resource validation process is the same under the CA WA CA 7 Edition ISPF Interface; however, no password is required.

The following is a sample CA WA CA 7 Edition Logon panel:

------------------------*** CA71 PRODUCTION INSTANCE ***--------------------- PLEASE ENTER LOGON DATA OR PRESS PF3 TO DISCONNECT USERID : TERMINAL NAME : TRM001 DATE : yy.131 PASSWORD : VTAM APPLID : CAW TIME : 09:01:24 NEW PASSWORD : LUNAME : A99L100 LEVEL : r12 UID RESOURCE : PARMS : C A W O R K L O A D A U T O M A T I O N C A 7 E D I T I O N Copyright (C) 2013 CA.
