Sample Security Procedures

The security steps each client user will follow and the intermediate client/server security processes are described in the following example:

Step Description

1. The user starts a VISTA program on the client. For this example, the user clicks on the Patient Care Management Module (PCMM) application icon.

2. The user must sign on to the server through the GUI signon window on the client using their Access and Verify codes, invoking the Kernel signon process.

3. The Menu Manager on the server verifies the user is allowed access to the "B"-type option requested by PCMM.

4. The Menu Manager on the server verifies the option is a "client/server" type option and the requested RPC is in that option's RPC multiple.

5. If all of the previous steps complete successfully, the application RPC is launched.
