The programs that can be run through a CA IDMS CV must be defined to the CV to prevent installation of unauthorized programs; must have the ability to dynamically register new programs; and must have the ability to secure tasks.

The SRTT module must be coded to secure the system. When using an ESM, this could be done in the following manner:
 
#SECRTT TYPE=ENTRY,                          X
 RESTYPE=TASK,                                     X
 SECBY=EXTERNAL ,                               X
 EXTNAME=(RESTYPE,RESNAME),        X  EXTCLS='CA@IDMS'

#SECRTT TYPE=OCCUR,                        X
  RESTYPE=TASK,                                   X
  RESNAME='SYSGEN',                          X
   SECBY=EXT

In the EXTNAME above, RESTYPE is changed to "TASK" and RESNAME is changed to "SYSGEN". 

Ensure the ESM has a corresponding entry to give access to the desired users. For instance, given a system named SYSO187, in Top Secret:
)  
TSS PER(user_id) CA@IDMS(TASK.SYSGEN)

In ACF2:
$KEY(TASK.SYSGEN) TYPE(CA@IDMS) 
 UID(user_id) ALLOW

RDEFINE CA@IDMS SYST UACC(NONE)
PERMIT TASK.SYSGEN CLASS(CA@IDMS) ID(user_id) ACCESS(READ)

After making the above changes, assemble and link RHDCSRTT to create a new SRTT. To implement the new SRTT, either cycle any CVs that use the SRTT or issue these commands:       
 
   DCMT VARY NUCLEUS MODULE RHDCSRTT NEW COPY 
   DCMT VARY NUCLEUS RELOAD

The programs that can be run through a CA IDMS CV must be defined to the CV to prevent installation of unauthorized programs; must have the ability to dynamically register new programs; and must have the ability to secure tasks.
