To activate CICSĀ® Configuration Manager security
checking:
- In your external security manager, such as RACF:
Choose an existing resource class, such as XFACILIT,
or create a new class for CICS Configuration Manager security checking.If
you decide to use a resource class other than XFACILIT, you need to
be aware of the specific requirements of a resource class for CICS Configuration Manager security checking.
For details, see Requirements for a resource class for security checking.

- Define general resource profiles for this class, to match the
format of the security keys created by the CICS Configuration Manager server. For details,
see:
- Authorize the appropriate users for these profiles.
For details on performing these steps, see the
members named CCVXSAFx in the sample library SCCVSAMP. 
- Ensure that the system initialization parameter SEC of the CICS region
running the CICS Configuration Manager server
is active (SEC=YES). The CICS Configuration Manager server
performs security checking only if this SIT parameter is active.
- In CICS Configuration Manager:
- Select primary menu option 1.1 System Options.
- Activate either or both types of security check: to do this, you
need to enter the name of the resource class and the security key
prefix that you have chosen for each type of security check.
