Security Considerations › CA Top Secret Interface › Define Your ACID

Define Your ACID

The Access Control ID (ACID) created for the CA XCOM Data Transport address space should be given the following attributes. For more information, see the CA Top Secret documentation.

If CA XCOM Data Transport is running as a started task, you may have to add the CA XCOM Data Transport proc to the allowable started task list. This depends on your installation's approach to securing Started Task Control (STC). It is always a good idea to protect the CA XCOM Data Transport started task, because it will usually be given powerful access privileges.

To define your ACID

Use this format:

TSS ADDTO(STC)PROC(XCOM'sSTC)ACID(XCOM'sACID)

FAC(STC)

Allows CA XCOM Data Transport to run as a started task.

MASTFAC(XCOM)

Must match the facility name defined above.

NOSUBCHK

Allows CA XCOM Data Transport to submit jobs on behalf of another user.

PASS(NOPW,0)

The operator will not be prompted for a password at CA XCOM Data Transport startup time.
