Interactions for Authorization Codes

Last Updated : Oct 30, 2012 |

This section provides information about how the Authorization Codes feature interacts with other features on the system. Use this information to ensure that you receive maximum benefits of the Authorization Codes feature in any feature configuration:

AAR/ARS Partitioning

Class of Restriction (COR) assigns partitioned group numbers and authorization codes can change CORs. Therefore, authorization codes can change Partitioned Group Numbers on incoming remote access calls. For originating calls, the COR of the user determines Partitioned Group Numbers.

Cancellation of Authorization Code Request

If

Then

CACR =1

  • Authorization = 1

Network = DEFG1, DEFG3 or DEF ECSR5

  • CACR can be #

Network - S85s, DIM switch

  • CACR = 1 (default)

COR and Facilities Restriction Level (FRL)

Authorization codes used for AAR or ARS calls override the associated FRL.

Associated Classes of Restriction determine remote-access user privileges.

Forced Entry of Account Codes and Call Detail Recording

For 94A LSU and 3B2 CDRU 18-word records, authorization codes are output if administered account-code lengths are fewer than six digits. For 59-character records, authorization codes are never recorded. Note that 94A LSU and 3B2 CDRU are no longer supported.

Authorization codes are recorded after destination addresses are dialed. Invalidly dialed authorization codes are recorded, and CDR printouts can be used to determine patterns.

Security Violation Notification

The system monitors and reports authorization code violations.
