Environment
This question applies to all sites using CA IDMS Server, in all environments.
Resolution
We do not have any security certification reports for the CA IDMS Server product. Based on our research, it appears that the SOC Type1 and Type2 reports apply primarily to Service Bureau organizations. As a Software provider, this does not really apply to us.
Tasks submitted through CA IDMS Server run a s external run-units (ERUs) on the mainframe. As such, the signon and all data access is processed with whatever security has been enabled on the mainframe.. That includes signon security, and system wide, task-level, or database-level security that is defined and is applicable to the Server tasks.
SSL security may be specified at the data source level as well, for each data source to be accessed via the CA IDMS Server.
