Finding out what DCE information RACF has about you

Your user profile might contain Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) information about you. RACF® lists the following details from the DCE segment of the user profile:

Your DCE principal name (DCENAME)
Your DCE universal unique identifier (UUID)
Your DCE home cell (HOMECELL)
The home cell's universal unique identifier (HOMEUUID)
Whether you have single signon processing (AUTOLOGIN)

The information in the DCE segment is used by Distributed File Service (DFS) Server Message Block (SMB) support.

Note: The RACF security administrator controls whether you can view all or some of the details of your DCE information.

The DCE information in the LISTUSER output has the following format:

Figure 1. LISTUSER output: description of the DCE information

USER=your user ID

DCE INFORMATION
---------------
 DCENAME= principal name
 UUID= universal unique identifier
 HOMECELL= home cell
 HOMEUUID= home cell UUID
 AUTOLOGIN= YES|NO

To see the DCE information, issue the LISTUSER command as follows:

LISTUSER your-userid DCE NORACF

If your profile contains a DCE segment, you see output similar to this sample:
