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, 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:

  1. RO indicates that the Natural Security system file is "read-only".
  2. 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.

Example:

FSEC=(10,8)
