Internal profile naming for alias index entries

The form of the entry name the RACF® manager uses for alias index entries consists of prefixing 3 bytes of non-EBCDIC values to the beginning of the entry name. These 3 bytes define the characteristics of the alias index entry. Specifically, the bytes represent the template number, segment number, and field number associated with the entry. The following table illustrates the hexadecimal values in effect for a particular alias field:

Table 1. Alias index entry values
Alias index field specified	Alias index internal entry name
Group defined with an OMVS GID value	X'010302' followed by GID value
User defined with an OMVS UID value	X'020802' followed by UID value
User defined with an LNOTES SNAME	X'020C02' followed by SNAME
User defined with an NDS UNAME	X'020D02' followed by UNAME

For more details concerning the first 3 bytes of an alias index entry and how to translate the values into specific characteristics, see the entry name description in z/OS Security Server RACF Diagnosis Guide.
