TSS GENREQ command not recorded in Top Secret Recovery File

Products

• Top Secret

Issue/Introduction

When running a TSSAUDIT report with the operand of CHANGES and GENCERT, TSS GENCERT commands are recorded to the Top Secret Recovery File, but not the TSS GENREQ command. Why?

Resolution

Only TSS commands that make changes to the Top Secret Security File are written to the Top Secret Recovery File.

The GENCERT command updates the Top Secret Security File.

The TSS GENREQ command does not. It only retrieves information from the Top Secret Security File.
