Description

DFHXSMX is the subroutine used by the security manager to invoke the external security manager (ESM). For resource checking, this routine first issues the MVS RACROUTE REQUEST=FASTAUTH macro, which calls the ESM in problem state. All other security functions require the caller to be in supervisor state. For these functions, and for a failed FASTAUTH call that requires logging, the CICS SVC is issued under a general purpose subtask, entered by the DFHSK macro, to shield the main CICS task from any imbedded waits that may occur in the ESM.
