VSAM ESM Module Configuration Fields

The VSAM ESM Module can be configured from the External Security Managers Configuration dialog box on the Define External Security Managers page in ESCWA:

Enabled
If this is unchecked, then the ESF Manager will not load, initialize, or pass requests to this Security Manager.
Name
Specify the name used to identify the VSAM ESM Module.
Module
Specify vsam_esm as the module.
Connection Path
This is the fully qualified file system path to the VSAM ESM file directory, for example, /usr/root/esm_file_dir. The default path is $COBDIR/etc/vsam_esm. Some previous early-access versions of the VSAM ESM Module used es_esm_file_directory as the default directory name.
Note: Ensure the directories and files containing the ESM file directory have the appropriate filesystem permissions. Operating system accounts used to run Enterprise Server components, such as ESCWA and enterprise server instance, that are configured to use the security manager will need at least read access to the files. Accounts used to create and update the files, for example, by running mfsecconv, will require write access.
