# FSEC - Natural Security System File

This Natural profile parameter defines the database ID, file number, password, cipher key and read-only flag for the Natural Security system file (FSEC), which is used by Natural Security to retrieve/store its security information.

Possible settings | See FSEC Parameter Syntax.
Default setting | none |
Dynamic specification | yes | Note If you specify the `FSEC` parameter dynamically in conjunction with any of the parameters `DBID`, `FNR`, `SYSPSW`, `SYSCIP` or `ROSY`, you must specify the `FSEC` parameter after any of these other parameters.
Specification within session | no |

Notes:

1. This Natural profile parameter only applies if Natural Security is used.
2. For information on system files, refer to Natural System Files in the Natural System Architecture documentation.

#### FSEC Parameter Syntax

The `FSEC` parameter syntax is as follows:

FSEC=(database-ID,file-number,password,cipher-key,RO)

Where:

Syntax Element | Value | Explanation
--- | --- | ---
`database-ID` | `1-65535`, except `255` | Database identification of the database in which the Natural Security system file is located. Note Database ID `255` is reserved for logical system files for Software AG products, see Natural profile parameter `LFILE`.
`file-number` | `1-65535` | File number of the database file in which the Natural Security system file is located.
`password` | 1 - 8 characters | Password for the Natural Security system file. Note A password is only required if the Natural Security system file has been password-protected using the Adabas security feature.
`cipher-key` | 8 numeric characters | Cipher key for the Natural Security system file. Note A cipher key is only required if the Natural Security system file has been ciphered using the Adabas security feature.
`RO` | - | Read-only option. Notes: `RO` indicates that the Natural Security system file is "read-only". `RO` is only specified if modifications on the Natural Security system file are to be disabled.

Note
Default values: If any subparameter of profile parameter `FSEC` is not specified, the corresponding setting of profile parameter `DBID`, `FNR`, `SYSPSW`, `SYSCIP` or `ROSY` applies to the Natural Security system file.
