CA ACF2 Interface Description

CA XCOM Data Transport provides an interface with the CA ACF2 security software. Security validation through CA XCOM Data Transport's CA ACF2 security interface occurs whenever the CA XCOM Data Transport started task is used for file transfer. The initial security checking validates the logon ID and the password combination for the system.

When this validation is completed, CA XCOM Data Transport sends these parameters to the CA XCOM Data Transport security interface:

• Logon ID of user requesting access
• Password of user requesting access
• New Password (optional) if password has been changed
• LU or TCP/IP name or address of the node that initiated the file transfer request
• Name of the data set the user wants to access
• Type of access requested:
  • READ
  • ALLOCATE
  • WRITE
