SC23-6854-00

In-band tape encryption requires that the IOS address space has security permissions for a USS segment. The USS segment is only for TCP/IP connectivity; UID(0) or super user ability is not required. Depending on the security product running on your system, take one of these actions to obtain the security permission:
  • In RACF, issue:
    ADDUSER IOSAS OMVS(UID(xxxx) HOME('/'))
    where xxxx is an unique user id
  • In CA-Top Secret Security for z/OS or eTrust, issue:
     TSO TSS ADD(IOSAS) UID(xxxx) HOME('/') 
    where xxxx is an unique user id.
  • In CA-ACF2 Security for z/OS authorization, issue:
    TSO ACF INSERT IOSAS NAME(IOSAS ID) UID(xxxx) HOME(/)
    where xxxx is an unique user id.
If a USS segment is not available at the time of tape encryption, this message is issued:
 IOS628E ENCRYPTION ON DEVICE dddd HAS FAILED DUE TO OMVS SEGMENT FAILURE  
Note: After adding the USS segment for the IOS address space, an IPL is needed for the new IOSAS segment to take affect.
