Authorizing Coupling Facility Requests z/OS MVS Programming: Sysplex Services Guide SA23-1400-00 |
|
The security administrator might want to protect the integrity of the data within the structure before coupling facility requests, such as IXLCONN, IXLREBLD, and IXLFORCE are issued. If the z/OS® Security Server, which includes RACF®, or another security product is installed, the administrator can define profiles that control the use of the structure in the coupling facility. The following steps describe how the RACF security administrator can define RACF profiles to control the use of structures:
For example, if an installation wants to permit an application
with an identifier of SUBSYS1 to issue the IXLCONN macro for structure-name
CACHE1, the security administrator can use the following commands:
You can specify RACF userids or RACF groupids on the ID keyword of the PERMIT command. If RACF profiles are not defined, the default allows any authorized user or program (supervisor state and PKM allowing key 0-7) to issue coupling facility macros for the structure.
