XAC: What Happens To XYGATE/AC (XAC) If Safeguard Fails Or Stops Working?

XAC: What Happens To XYGATE/AC (XAC) If Safeguard Fails Or Stops Working?

Any XAC command that is configured with the keyword and setting "USER_SWITCH SAFEGUARD_PRIVLOGON"  would be impacted with Safeguard down.

A workaround would be to have an alternate XAC command that does not use the Safeguard PRIV-LOGON function for each one that does.  For example, TACL-255 could have a corresponding alternate called TACL-255-NOPRIVLOGON that was not configured with "USER_SWITCH SAFEGUARD_PRIVLOGON".  The alternate XAC command would be used only if Safeguard was down/unavailable.
