Documenting the security requirements

In documentation that accompanies your servers, you might need to give some instructions to the security administrator whose installation will be running the server. This might happen if your server uses services that require special authority; these services include:

The SAF R_dceruid() callable service
The z/OS UNIX convert_id_np callable service
The C library function __convert_id_np() function call

Without the appropriate authority set up at the installation, your server will not run. Documentation that accompanies these services tells the security administrator the kind of RACF® definitions to set. For example, if the server uses the z/OS UNIX convert_id_np() callable service, the server must have READ access or higher to the IRR.RDCERUID FACILITY class profile.
