Installing Control-M Application Server Security

The Control‑M Application Server (CTMAS) security interface uses the security mechanisms provided for IOA and Control‑M. For each Control‑M/Enterprise Manager user operation (for example, Hold, Rerun), the workstation gateway transfers the requesting Control‑M/Enterprise Manager user ID to the application server. The application server checks the authorization of this user using the IOA and Control‑M security modules. If the user is not authorized to perform this operation, the operation is rejected and the workstation issues an error message.

User IDs are always defined in uppercase letters on the mainframe. User IDs are usually defined in lowercase under Unix. Therefore, the application server automatically converts the workstation user IDs to uppercase for compatibility with the mainframe definitions.
