All you have to do is specify AC=1 in the binder control statements, then have 
your program promoted to an APF authorized library. It is the ICSF API that 
requires the authorization. I think it is because you are trying to work with 
the keys, not just the tokens.

Are you sure you really want to be adding, deleting, or changing keys? 

Crypto keys are a *serious* hot button with auditors. The whole process end to 
end has to be protected. Keys flowing in the open over a network are bound to 
attract attention. 

Of course, you may safely expect security and sysprogs to recoil in horror when 
you ask for access to such a library (I certainly did when I was first asked). 
Then you remind them that you will need both test and production libraries as 
well as QA, depending on your site's policies.

BTW, we built a special set of load libraries and wrapped them in an extra 
heavy security blanket. 
    

HTH and good luck.

Subject: Newbie doubt about Supervised State

Hello all!
As I write in the subject, I'm just a newbie. I'm sure what I'm going to ask
is obvious, but here I go...
 
I have a PL/I program trying to work with ICSF, and using one of the
functions (I don't remember which one) and I reached Return Code 8; Reason
Code 2068. It means I must execute the program in supervisor state or key 0.
 
What can I do to execute my program in Supervisor state?
Thanks all!
 
Best regards!
     VĂ­ctor de la Fuente Seivane
