nssctl command SERVAUTH profile

Security product authorization (for example, RACF®) is required to use the nssctl command. You must define a profile in the SERVAUTH class to enable control over the nssctl command function. The format of the profile is as follows:
EZB.NETMGMT.sysname.sysname.NSS.DISPLAY
Where:
sysname
The system name of the system on which the nssctl command is allowed to run.

Requirement: This profile must be defined on the system where the NSS server is running and where the nssctl command is issued.

Tips:
  • If the security product is RACF, you can use the control statements in the sample JCL job that is provided in SEZAINST(EZARACF) to define this authorization. If the SERVAUTH class is not active or if a matching SERVAUTH policy is not found, the nssctl command request is rejected.
  • Authorization is not required for the help option (nssctl -?).
