Initializing CDSA  



The Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA) is automatically installed with the operating system. Starting with Version 2.0 of CDSA (the version supplied with OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2), the requirement to increase the FILLM process quota has been eliminated. However, you cannot use CDSA until it has been initialized. After an upgrade, you must initialize CDSA even if it has been initialized previously. To set up and initialize CDSA, execute the following command. You must have SYSPRV and CMKRNL privileges to do this.

$ @SYS$STARTUP:CDSA$UPGRADE
NoteDo not attempt to remove CDSA from your system. The PRODUCT REMOVE command is not supported for CDSA even though there appears to be an option to remove CDSA. CDSA is installed with the operating system and is tightly bound with it. Any attempt to remove it will not work cleanly, and could create undesirable side effects. An attempt to remove it results in a message similar to the following:
%PCSI-E-HRDREF, product CPQ AXPVMS CDSA V2.0 is referenced
   by DEC AXPVMS OPENVMS V7.3-2
 -PCSI-E-HRDRF1, the two products are tightly bound by this
   software dependency
 -PCSI-E-HRDF2, if you override the recommendation to terminate the operation,
 -PCSI-E-HRDF3, the referenced product will be removed, but the referencing
 -PCSI-E-HRDF4, product may no longer function correctly; please review
 -PCSI-E-HRDF5, dependency requirements for the referencing product
 Terminating is strongly recommended. Do you want to terminate? [YES]
For more information about CDSA, see HP Open Source Security for OpenVMS, Volume 1: Common Data Security Architecture.
